So... maybe... finally... the “First Granite Crystal VIN# Post here!” thread has actually successfully performed the function it was created for!
The first Granite VIN was posted in this post on June 20:

2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport S
My Sport S 6sp is supposedly going through assembly now and will be ready for shipping within a few days, according to Jeep chat. Ordered 6/24, so that timeline seems to fit with the builds I have seen with similar specs. Here's hoping Jeep gets their crap together for you LE guys!! I'd be PISSED if I spent that kind of coin on a LAUNCH edition, only to have it be back burnered.

So... I decided some time back, to keep my TJ Golden Eagle, which left me shy of garage space, when my GCMJTLE comes. My solution was to build an addition, onto the side of my garage, to house “Lil’ Buck”... and his big brother “Big Buck” would get the garage space. Figured I had plenty of time... as our wait extended, I figured I had even more!

Finally, I had some time on my hands, and desperately needed to do SOMETHING pro-Gladiator... so I could, at least, feel like progress was being made! So Wednesday (the 7th) I started on the addition... and by Thursday night, it was built, and I moved Lil’ Buck into his new home, leaving a large empty space, in the garage, for his mythical big brother.

Friday morning, I get up... having my coffee, me and the dogs go out to admire the new addition... standing there, sipping coffee, looking at Big Buck’s empty space... I decided to check the Forum for updates... and low & behold... news, movement, progress! Granite Crystal LE’s have been moved to “D” status, and VINS are finally appearing!

Coincidental? Peculiar timing? Maybe... who knows? But just maybe, I should have built Lil’ Buck’s garage, and cleared the space for the JTLE... 3 months ago!!!! ;{

Photos or it didn’t happen ;)

I’ve been cleaning out my shop so my JT will have a comfy home when it finally arrives too. And store all the parts I’ve ordered waiting for it’s arrival.

That was posted Wednesday about 4 pages back, before they bumped us all to D ( or why they bumped us all)

Digging it! Also love all your trees. Looks very secluded.

Santa Fe National Forest wilderness, offgrid log cabin, 8500ft elev., southern tip of the Rocky Mountains, between Santa Fe, and Taos. Me, my wife, our two horses, two dogs, and four cats! Closest neighbor a mile away. Just Bear, Elk, Coyotes, and freerange Cattle... it’s paradise! ;{
