First Granite Crystal VIN# Post Here

[Magnus Rudis]

Sooo. Just got back from my Dealer (West Hills Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Bremerton Washington). I'm still in "C" status. I was told "they are being built this week". I asked why I didn't have a VIN yet as if it was being built I probably would have a VIN. They didn't know. However I was told that I'm one of 5 GCMLEs they have on order and we are all in the same status.
So, just wondering if any of the other 4 GCMLEs that were ordered from West Hills in Bremerton are here in the forum? Would love to compare notes, collective bargaining isn't just for labor unions.

More bureaucratic doublespeak!
I thought Government bureaucratic doublespeak was FUBAR... between FCA & the Dealerships, this corporate bureaucratic doublespeak makes Government bureaucratic doublespeak sound like a finely tuned Swiss watch! ;{

Hopefully there is someone on here who is buying from your dealer too. @jncomatrix and I both are getting Granite LEs from the same dealer, and we compare notes from time to time to see if our dealer is giving the same story.

I bought the Mopar bed cross bars from moparpartworld.com, which is actually West Hills (they had them mis-priced when they were first available).

Some hope for you Granite Crystal guys. The tracker shows Lumberjack500 as built (07/13). It is a GC Rubicon with most of the bells and whistles but does not show if it is an LE edition...

Is it body color fenders and hard top, or black? That seems to be the hold up in the LEs. We've seen a GCM Sport delivered, but that was black fenders and top of course.

EDIT: Just looked at the tracker. It's a Black 3 piece Hard Top, but has "Molded-In-Color Fender Flares (2-Pc)". Does that mean body color (CGM) fenders? If so, there may be some hope!

No that means black fenders

Thanks, I guess... I wasn't sure

All hope is now lost!

I'm waiting on a CGM LE, but have been offered a Black one that my dealership had someone back out on. The black one is due to be delivered next week, and I really want to see some light at the end of the tunnel so I have a reason to pass on it.

Yes, I think there are actually three fender styles, Black, 2 piece Molded in color and Body color....

Ok think what you want, but I believe there is painted (body color) or molded in color (black plastic). It says molded in color because if it takes a rock chip the whole fender black (as in you can’t scrape material off and see another color. Painted fenders take rocks and you see sheet metal.

There are 2 versions of the black fender, one a bit wider for the wide axles of the max tow.

You appear correct, Jeep uses the verbiage "body color" and "two piece molded in color" interchangeably at times on the webpages ...

So I will be in Ohio driving through Toledo next week. I think we should have a group meeting at the plant and ask for a walk through to uncover what the true issue is. Power to the buyers. Lol

Drove by a dealer on the way home from paddleboarding today and took a stripped JT Rubi for another spin. Feel bad stringing that sales guy along, but need to drive one every couple of months while this wait drags on...

Hell is I could get my hands on a stripped rubi jt I would take it and do an LS3.

Here ya go. Only JT Rubi they had on the lot. Only has 8.4" audio, tow package and black roof. First time I drove one was at this dealer in May and they had just got in the first 5 or so and were asking $3k over MSRP. They are down to "only" MSRP now.
