When did you order?

I am impressed that they got it from Toledo to FL in 3 weeks! I am less impressed by what they are doing to @YukonCornelius. This is definitely cruel and unusual punishment.

I just reached out to nice folks at Jeep Chat for giggles and they told me my order is in Trim. I guess it didn't make the last date they gave me of 4/19 to leave the factory. 24 weeks in and counting!

Ordered 11/6/21, was in D status until 3/17. Went to D1 and as of today, KZOB and the system was hacked and dealers can’t see any information at this moment.

So I think I’m in the shipping abyss.

My daughter ordered the same day, 11/6/21. She is in JBLD. Sounds like the 392 specific body stuff might be delayed as it’s been there for over a week.

Sorry to hear. Im trying to get a ship date. Told me on the phone Monday that my jeep will be built and ready to ship by today. So I’m going to call Friday and check to see if there is a ship date. Not that a ship date means anything. Jeep chat saying
Thank you so much for holding. I am showing that your vehicle is currently in the trim stage of the build process. Currently no Dealer ETA has been provided.

I just wonder if when you changed your color they didn’t just put in a whole new order and put you back at the end of the line again.

That’s what I’m thinking. But dealer system still shows it with original order date and original VIN but updated PJF paint code. And if it’s a new order all together I’m screwed since it was after XR was put on indefinite hold

Dammit boy.

I'm also worried about your price protection. My salesman assured me on the call yesterday that the original quoted price is still valid. Have you seen any other Jeeps built with your paint color?

11/7 Ordered
11/10 Vin#

11/7 - today
Jeep chat always said “gathering parts”

Today - “Thank you so much for holding. I am showing all of the materials needed to start the build process have been received. The vehicle should be entering the build process very soon.”

I asked does this mean it’s still in D and she said it’s in no status???

Has anyone received this response from Jeep chat about all the parts needed are in? Maybe I caught them at a in between status?

Thank you so much for holding. I am showing that your vehicle has been built and is pending installation of additional equipment. This is a necessary step when additional features or optional equipment packages are added to the vehicle. Currently no Dealer ETA has been provided. At this time we can advise checking back in a week for an update
Mine is starting to move along good now.

@shojeep did see a high velocity yellow in person. Several have posted, including one 392 that wasn’t mine

But GM set up a call today with regional… original order with XR is still good. Was supposed to be started April 1st (I know, right???) but something was unavailable (they couldn’t say what) so it’s back in queue for allocated build. No clue still as to when, but they confirmed build specs and price

Yes. I had it in writing. Put $1000 down Oct 8, '21. Picked it up yesterday. It's up there with the best new car experience that I ever had, and I've bought at least 10 new cars. The dealer gets all 10's on the survey. They held the quoted price true to the penny, which was a discount using the 'Tread Lightly' program. The window sticker, which has my name on it, was given to me encapsulated in clear plastic. Nice touch. It had the January price increase of over $2000, which was for anyone who was NOT me, to pay. The sticker was $86 and change, but I paid $84.2 out the door.
Spoiler: after all papers were signed, and the dealer was walking me out to teach me the controls on my new Jeep, he said I was very lucky, and also that they felt badly that I had to wait 28 weeks for my new car. He said he could make a call and get $100,000 for my Jeep before he went home today. He also said the dealership will not order a new 392 on the tread lightly program again because they were too rare and soon to go out of production. It was extra work and cost them money. (less profit)
I think my case is special, because I decided to trade in my truck, a '21 F150 Lariat, and I'm positive they will make back some lost profit on the Jeep, selling my fairly loaded, like new truck.
Hope this helps another Jeeper out there. YES, it was worth the wait!!!!

Gosh Yukon, you and I have been through hell together. See my reply (thesis) to 22 392. Hopefully, your end experience at the dealer will be as good as mine. I like your color and was tempted to change when I saw what you did on your order, but decided to leave mine with white, which I really like. I also was afraid to mess with my order. One by one, dealer employees, who were eyeing my new Jeep, came and talked to me about how cool it was. One of them had a blue 392, the only 392 that came to the dealership, and the person who ordered it backed out. HE LOVED HIS JEEP. Even the Finance guy drove a lifted, decked out Wrangler, and told me iT was no problem if I wanted to back out. He said he "could" even give me $2000 back (my deposit was $1000) if I wanted to walk away.
Hang in there Yukon!!! Better days are out there for you. Keep after those guys. They are trying to make you happy but have no control over the manufacturing giant that is FCA. You have an enviable spot. Don't give it up!!

Thanks @shojeep ! Appreciate the support... and man, i am glad for you, brother! I put $5000 down on October 8th... Dealer only requested $500 but I said "I'm willing to drop $5k to show you how serious I am after getting jerked around by the other dealer - who never deposited my $500... so they were extremely happy with that and have been really good to work with. I'm hopeful! With you finally getting yours, there is a spark! And your guys at your dealer are right: the days are numbered. I'm betting we don't see them past MY 2023.

Post pics! Post driving impressions!

Now I just need a vanity plate. We have a very nice 'Endless Summer' plate showing a guy with a surfboard. I'm allowed 5 letters and either SHOGP or SHOJP is available. Any thoughts???

STILL waiting....
Had to get this in the interim.

Very exciting to get an email from Cryptostickers a couple of days ago that my build sheet was up. Seeing *any proof of life* for this "SOLD VEHICLE" after the past 5 months of crickets was exciting, but it looks like they missed date to leave the factory, and then the next day, and the next day ...

Also, the Eruption Green is a good green. Not sure it will age well, but it looks better than most. It was a top three choice for me for my BRaptor. Went with Code Orange in the end though. We'll see in a month and a half or so how it looks next to the Hydro Blue Pearl in the garage.
