Thanks! Dealer just sent me picks. I'll be there tomorrow at noon and I'm towing it home with my 96' F-350 just so the wife and I can hang out both ways.

This guy got an orange one in half the time it’s taken me to get a white one. Orange wasn’t even available when I ordered mine BRUH WTF

Lifted ride is a little cushier than factory, but nothing crazy. I'll be interested to see how it reacts to four adults, a loaded bed, or trailer hooked to it. I love the damn thing. If you don't like talking to strangers, i'd suggest waiting a few years before you get one.
Nice. I prefer talking to strangers. They tend to go away faster than people you know. ;)

Glad you got yourself settled in something you're enjoying. Hoping for a fast train and I can join ya... finally. :like:

I'm trying to be nice and supportive and not hijack his happiness with bitter feelings like the absolute truth you're telling.

But it's hard, so very hard. And he got it in more like 1/3 the time, not half. And mine's in the home stretch, but not home yet. Counting chickens, etc. etc.

(All kidding aside, great ride and congrats @kwiklot )

I'm not hating the player. I'm hating the game at the moment. If mine is still in JB next monday I'm going to tell my dealership to stuff it where the sun don't shine..and buy a WRX and start professionally vaping.

Did anyone see me coming down I35 today? I love it, but the lack of power is going to take some getting used to. Ford has plenty and so did the BMW for it's weight.

She's home without a paper tag. I was in such a hurry to beat traffic I got out of there without it and the OEM suspension!

Holy crap. It's been 4 months but they finally started building my Jeep. Went to E status today. The Jeep chat lady should it should be ready to ship in a few days. I don't believe her. Anyone out there know how long it takes once you reach E status?

This should give you an idea, from those of us tracking our 5 month old Granite LE orders. Looks like yours is right in the mix with these builds based on your D1/E dates. Some flew threw E to KZ in a day or two. Others are stuck in I or JB hell for a week now.

Just my experience, but after all the long dumb process, I went from getting wind of it being built to to ship status in 2 days. I might have missed the build starting, by the time I checked at the end of the day I was already in I on Wednesday, and KZ last Friday. No new news since, it might be in a Toledo parking lot or anywhere in between in the shipping process. Could be sitting at the dealer for all I know.

Others have had lengthy holdups though, mostly in JB. Bug your salesperson for a screenshot of their order screen.

E status shouldn't take longer than 2 days honestly if everything bolts together without any hiccups. D1 thru E and I was the shortest time for me.
