Unfortunately, it looks like Jeep is slow rolling the Granite JTs. Looks like your build is close to the LE, so don't get your expectations up for a quick build process. You do have a VIN, so that's much, much more progress than the rest of us here. Once yours actually starts build (E status or further), you can start looking for your build sheet. And please let us know if you (ever) get there!

Body color fenders. And ok. Thanks. I have checked it everyday. Dealer told me 6-8 weeks when I ordered but after joining here I was hoping for 8-10. Only been 3 weeks so far so I still hope

Well, gentlemen, and ladies if it applies... I officially cancelled my order this morning.... its a long story similar to all the other bad dealer experiences. I bought a JL 2 months ago (about 2 weeks after I expected to receive the promised, and deposit since march on, 1st one available-which they reneged on because I did the LE) and we have decided to keep and enjoy it, good luck and happy Jeepin in your gladiators! Aloha!

Another one bites the dust...

Is everyone going to bail on Granite before they ever build/deliver one?

Glad you found something that works for you, and that's what this is all about anyway.

I have a friend on the line in Toledo. He messaged me this morning that the Granites were coming down the line today, first ones he’s seen.... 1 step closer
For what it is worth my granite was one of those vehicles. It has a ship date of this Friday. I am not sure it will make it but have been told if it does I could see it next week

Happy Independence Day and Hell Yes I’m hangin’ On. Waited this frinkin’ long. Might as well. I waited longer for my Red Rider BB gun. Lol. The GCLE is going to look great on the road and we will be the proud owners telling anyone who will listen about our journey.

I’m not ready to bail and sticking it out too, otherwise it’d be a waste of these bad boys. In fact, first 5 GC LEs with VINs I’ll send you a key tag too (if ya want it).

I'll take one, whenever mine gets built
I'm in for the long haul too, as much as it pains me to see folks ordering months after us getting their JTs. Count me in!

Well, looks like a Granite Sport S with Max Tow was delivered to a dealer near Toledo Tuesday night, and due to be picked up by the new owner today. So they must have started building them before @Rebel JT 's friend on the line said they did.

Same one, from the other side.

Since this has body colored fenders and top, Jeep can no longer hide behind the "having problems with paint" excuse they have been giving us LE folks.
