My ED Sport S is scheduled for delivery between today and 10/15.. currently on a train somewhere. Ordered on 8/21, built on 9/14 for those who are wondering.
It seems weird that I ordered on 7/14 and I have basically the same update... From chat, not the dealer....

Wow! Are those covers?
Yes, PRP seat covers. That’s the only reason I didn’t get leather on this one, I wanted something different this time around. Looks and feels almost like leather, but is a much more durable marine grade vinyl. Always loved the 10th anniversary Rubicon seats, so I custom ordered these to look as close as possible.

Congrats to those that have taken delivery!

Has anyone taken or seen any underbelly shots? I'm curious how much has changed between the 3.6l and 3.0l(Trying to plan my build)

I was notified mine dropped at the rail yard in Montana yesterday. I would imagine that trains next Jeep drop is puyallop Washington.

Just got this from the dealer:

It's here!

Jeep Gladiator Progress of building and delivering the Eco-Diesel Jeep at Dealer


You can tell it is a Jeep. The hood is up and it hasn't even been delivered yet! I suspect more than one person at the Stealership is going to have their head under there today before I have a chance to go get it.

the timing of some of these builds is really strange
I ordered a 2021 JTR diesel on 7/11. Arrived at the dealership on 10/5. If you back out the difference between order date and when diesel production started (9/4), then mine was right 4 weeks.

I ordered on July 3. However, something got hosed up at the dealership and they redid the order on July 10. So, I think July 10 is probably the date to go from.

I guess the question is how are they working though their backlog and how many orders they have? LOL!

I was told mine was held up due to a shortage of diesel wiring harnesses. Still no ETA for it to be built.
