This is based solely on some knowledge of one of the largest fleet operators: per their build timeline, all non-4xe Wranglers will start July 24th - which IMHO seems way off considering rumor was May 19th (which I didn’t really believe either.) But in previous years, going by Donlen’s and Element‘s timelines, they’ve been pretty spot on. The 4xe is possibly slated to begin much sooner.
Hopefully some of our partnered vendors can speak up with some better info.
I know people are starting to hit D1 (but none have been 392’s yet)status… it seems a 2 month-out schedule wouldn’t be realistic, so maybe in between.
Here‘s what I do know - even on years the MY doesn’t change, there’s always a plant shutdown, even if only 24 hours. We do have some significant changes in the interior and some functional on exterior as well, so a shutdown for 48-72 hours would be most likely . This hasn’t happened yet…
Maybe over the long Memorial Day Weekend? Fingers crossed….
