To ya'll that have been thru the ordering process - gotta question

So once we land here: "your vehicle has been scheduled for production. The next step, the vehicle will be going into the build process"...any predicted times associated with this "status" in regards to when it actually happens? Also when it comes to the build sheet link, about what time in the process does that actually show up?

I got this status from Jeep Chat last week. Would my dealer have more info possibly

From my experience, no one can predict how long the stages of production will be for your Jeep. Also, the dealership will have the best, most up to date information on your build. Jeep chat is hit or miss with information, I really don’t trust it. If your salesman seems bothered about giving you a regular status, make friends with one of the sales managers at the dealership (like I did), and he will give you the best, most accutrate build status information.

Here is the good news @Terry23 your in Ohio so it will ship very quickly by truck. (I'm in Ohio too) I received the same email about scheduled for build on Jan 21, 2022, my build sheet showed up Feb 3, 2022. It actually only takes about 1 day to go through the assembly line but all the subcomponents need to be lined up so often you're waiting for that stuff. My 392 was actually built on 1st shift Feb 2, 2022 cuz my buddy works there and swears he worked on it. It may not have been completed then because they can store vehicles for a while but he said it was "mostly built" that day. It went into KZ status (released from factory) on Feb 16th and delivered Feb 17th to the dealer. It only had like 11 miles on it which is not bad and other than the road salt kicked up during transport it was spotless. Your in the home stretch but as @HearHear said it is almost impossible to predict the exact timeline, too many factors influence that.

Well that is really positive to hear. Looking forward to gettin back into a wrangler. I had a wrangler prior to owning my raptor. Really looking forward to feeling the power of a 392. Here's a pic of my last Wrangler JK Sport.
