Guide: Gladiator Order, Build, Tracking and Delivery Process

[ilovebikes99]

Hey guys:

09/25/21 VIN and VON released
09/27/21 Vehicle scheduled for production. Parts being procured
09/28/21 Vehicle scheduled for production. Parts being procured. Jeep Chat estimate 7-9 weeks to build
09/29/21 Production of 2021 model stopped
10/04/21 Vehicle scheduled for production. Parts being procured
10/07/21 Vehicle scheduled for production. Parts being procured
10/11/21 Vehicle scheduled for production. Parts being procured
10/15/21 Vehicle scheduled for production. Parts being procured

Yesterday I got an email from my dealer saying the car is ready to be built and will be on the lot in the coming weeks. Jeep Chat is sticking to the story that the parts are still being procured.
I think dealers have better info than Jeep Chat. True? Am I to expect my car to be delivered soon?

On 10-8- scheduled to arrive 10/18-10/28

Where do you get that info like build sheet, sticker, and ship date? I haven’t gotten much of anything from chat.

got the POC from my dealer, that had the vin, then used the tool on this forum to track, when the build came out, I saw it, when the sticker came out it sent me an email. also got an email stating approx delivery time. the dealer told me its on a train now and due at the railyard monday.

10/28/21 Vehicle is currently in the frame stage of the build process
10/29/21 Trim stage

I think Jeep Chat has stale info, I think the car is already on the way to the dealer. Checking with dealer today.

Unscheduled:
BX = good order available for scheduling
BB = fleet order only ñ review by bid department
BD = special equipment processing
BE = edit error - coding error which must be corrected before order can be scheduled
BG = order has passes edit but cannot be scheduled regardless of sold status

Hey, @nerubi, first off THANK YOU for the excellent information on the build process. Very well put together! I got my POC from the dealer the day after I ordered and they had a code of BA for "available for scheduling"... was "BX" a typo above, since all the other codes seem to be in alphabetical order? Thanks!

The Jeep document I had at the time had those codes in that order. I have not been able to keep up to date on any changes Jeep has made to their processes because of medical issues so if anyone has access to current Jeep build documentation that shows anything different they can contact the site Administrator for edit access to the document to make the changes.

Ordered my loaded Mojave with an order date of 9/7.

No build date, sticker as of yet. They do say that the parts are available.

Has anyone seen a Mojave build go through recently? thanks.

AND IT'S HERE! Picking up in the morning.

Sorry to hear about your medical issues. I don't have access to any of these documents, so I'm no authority! Hope things get better for you. Again, appreciate the extreme amount of detail you posted: very helpful.

My Jeep is a 2021, placed order on 09/23. Last day I think.

Ran across a "Thing" that might interest those with new Gladiators.
Saw an auto detailer on YT who used an Iron Remover on a new vehicle. The idea is that iron will imbed itself into the clear coat of you vehicle from shipping and, in time, rust and show as little brown/red dots in the paint. I can attest to this as I purchased a 2002 Grand Cherokee, used, in the past. It did develop these little spots all over. Worse, it was a white vehicle.
I got a bottle of Iron Remover from Adams before taking delivery of my Gecko Green Gladiator. At the first car wash the next day, I wet it down and sprayed this iron remover over the whole truck. The way you can see it working is it turns the iron purple in a couple minutes.
The whole truck had purple spots all over!
Then you rinse and that handles the iron not rusting in a year or two...

Just throwing this out to maybe help someone keep a nice looking Jeep...

Pan the Organizer is who alerted me to this problem on YT...
