here is just one example: the issue with the cylinder heads WAS indeed a recall, and JEEP extended the engine warranty to 150k miles.
Or 10 years...

Why is this always in FL? I'm glad I'm getting mine in IA as it'll be to cold for something like this to happen. Oh, read the last paragraph which I will happily leave out of the quote. :shock:

Woman arrested after being found naked in back seat of Jeep at Florida car dealership: Police report


A Florida woman was arrested after a customer found her naked in the back seat of a Jeep Wrangler at a car dealership, according to police.

The manager told King to get dressed and exit the vehicle, after which she was seen leaving the dealership, the arrest report said. Another employee called law enforcement after a coworker told him "a homeless woman was ... pleasuring herself" inside one of the vehicles, the report added.

See, not all the crazies are here in California...(though we do have a fair share)
Sad but they're everywhere now. I would hate to be the new owner of that Jeep. More than likely he/she will never know but just the thought grosses me out. :puke:

Of course I wouldn't mind at all if it were say Kate Upton. :giggle:?

Looks like Christmas might come early this year. Received this email from Granger Motors that my Jeep is in D1 status and has a scheduled delivery date of 12/17/21. :shock: I'm not holding my breath on this but wouldn't ya know it when I really didn't want to take delivery until late spring it comes in early. lol I might have to have it shipped now because it'll be way to cold for the trip we wanted to take back here. Oh well better earlier than later.


Exciting News: Your Wrangler is in D1 status and has an estimated SHIPPING date of 12/17/21!!

I want to take time now to make sure that we understand the upcoming process and get some essential information from you prior to taking delivery of your Wrangler.

After your Wrangler is built, it will go to a Distribution Center then to Transportation and then finally arrives at Granger Motors. This process normally takes 3-4 weeks from when it is built. You will get an email from me when your Wrangler arrives here in Granger.

Once your Wrangler arrives, we will get it over to our Jeep Certified Technicians for the final quality check and installation of any accessories. We will not be installing any dealership sticker or installing the front license plate bracket. Your Wrangler will then proceed to our Cleanup Department to clean your Wrangler.

lol You're not kidding brother! I was shocked to see the email because I heard that the higher end builds usually take priority before the 2drs.

FTFY.

Be sure to post pics when you get it so that we can collectively disparage it :devil:

The way things are going in this world it could be spring before I see it. There are some on the JL forum who said theirs has sat in D1 status for 9+ weeks where others received theirs in less than 2 months. As long as it doesn't take 4 years I'm good with a small delay. ?

with the amount of Jeeps in the rail lot close to me, they are clearly out pacing the competitors on deliveries. Whatever they are doing, they seem to have a better grasp on the supply chain
Probably using old defective chips. That's why so many are catching on fire. lol ?

Shipping it would wipe out whatever deal you got from Granger, and looking at the extended forecast for Granger, Ia, It will be 44ÂşF on Dec. 10th, and the average temp for the 17th is 35Âş- still T-shirt weather! You could scurry back down to Oklahoma City (12/17 avg 50Âş need A/C) the same day, and then I-40 or continue to DFW and I-20 for really warm driving.

Besides, an unannounced visit to the HQ to pass out fruitcakes or something would be a morale booster!

Are you crazy...35 t shirt weather. lol I'm freezing when it drops below 70. :sun:

It was 4% below invoice which worked out to just over $5K off msrp. Actually when you factor in 2 plane tickets, hotel and gas I break even with the shipping. Besides our whole plan was to take a 4-5 week trip coming back though SD, MT, WY and CO. We are still going to do this but in reverse later in the spring.

It's all in how bad you want it, right? ;)
You got it! It does work out good this way too because as you know our weather is perfect this time of year for going topless with the Jeep. So I can enjoy that up until the time we leave for our trip late spring before the triple digits start.
