First Granite Crystal VIN# Post Here

[WildJD]

For you @WildJD, I had to redo the Granite LE tracking table. Removed the folks that bailed on their Granite LE orders, and added a bunch of columns for tracking dates (that will hopefully be populating quickly).

Paige confirmed I'm still D1 as of this morning.

Just checked with concierge, still in D1 without a date.

Just checked with concierge, still in D1 without a date.

As Kayakmike and I discussed earlier, Dealer and Concierge, aren’t necessarily seeing data in real time! Plus, estimating a ShipDate, probably, has a lot more to do with the logistics of shipments heading our way, and less, apparently, to do with build schedule... especially, perhaps, with our chunk of LE’s (a different animal than a single special order... a large group order, almost like a Fleet order, one where each unit of the Fleet has a different delivery point!)... I can see where (for our GCMJTLE circumstance) it might be difficult to estimate EVERY ShipDate. I reckon I’ll get one when my new ranchhand “Big Buck” is built... hopefully in a few days! ;{
(I love this dancing Sasquatch!) I know, it’s supposed to be a “Turkey”... but (on my phone) it looks like a Sasquatch to me... which would actually be appropriate! ;{

Hey GCMLE folks! Happy to see you are progressing. Just a couple reminders. A system ship date really corresponds with a build date. You should be going to production within 24 hours of that date. Shipping is anywhere form 3-20 days after that depending on the complexity of your build and back logs at other stages.

Also, Jeep usually won’t communicate a ship (or production) date. But many times your dealer will. Usually when you are in D1 your dealer will have your “ship date” somewhere in the system. (Just remember what I said above about ship dates).

Can’t wait to see one!

My Granite JT is sitting at the train yard in Birmingham, AL. Will load up and head south on Sep 3rd. Scheduled to arrive in Biloxi on the 10th or sooner. My dealer says they will need 2 days to process and prepare for delivery to me.

Over 30 rental JTs arrived last week with Maui Island dealers first inventory and 3 customers LE’s. Shame on you @JeepCares for tricking us true Jeep enthusiasts into ordering a “Special “ Launch Edition with a “special” 24 hr advance notice .

Almost as bad as this dealer with 81(!) JTs sitting on their lot for sale, but they still can't build our 5 month old "launch" edition orders?

I'm going to Kauai the end of Nov. Maybe I can get a rental JT there before I actually see my own.

How we Granite Crystal Launch Edition purchasers feel. @JeepCares

 

[IwantmygladiatorNOW]

has anyone lay hands on a GCM with a matching top yet or are they still an urban legend?

EDIT #1: Added more status updates/VINs after original post earlier this AM.

Paige confirmed I'm still D1 as of this morning.

Just received my Build Sheet from
www.jeep.com “Web Self Service Build Sheet Servlet”!
10 pages long, here’s a screen grab of the 1st page.
FYI everybody... the “TRACKER” still comes up “Not Found” for both ‘Build’ & ‘Sticker’... But, now when I press the Build column’s “Not Found” This sheet does pop up!
This is starting to look real. ;{

OK... just got Email from “TRACKER” that my BuildSheet was ‘FOUND’! Sticker still ‘Not Found’!

WildJD - I will be living vicariously thru you until I am “found”. Congrats on the progression. It’s looking positive for all of us.
- You own the “dancing sasquatch” by the way.
