Congratulations on moving yet one step closer!
I'd probably have wet my pants too..
Thanks Chris! I was checking Jeep Chat every day and thought they were sick of me and maybe they moved me to the back of the line. lol

This morning it went into trim status and I just checked and it's built! Not sure how/why it got done before a lot of others who ordered before me but I'm happy it was. It's just about loaded with every option so it's not like it was a basic build. The only thing I left out was the advanced safety group which had ACC and I didn't want it. Now the wait for shipping to the dealer which with the driver shortage could take weeks.


Me (12/22/2021, 6:48:21 PM): Hi Vivian Could I get an update on my order?


Vivian (12/22/2021, 6:54:31 PM): Vehicle is in the stage prior to being released by the plant. Vehicle may have been selected for additional quality inspections or held for delivery purposes. At FCA, you can be assured that we take vehicle quality seriously. Currently no Dealer ETA has been provided.

WooHoo, it's on the train and on it's way to the dealer! ?

Wendy (12/28/2021, 11:36:10 AM): Thank you, I can see you order is in transit to your dealer! There is no ETA listed but your dealership may be able to provide an estimate!


Placed my order on Oct 25th, production of the '22's didn't start until Dec 16th. Mine was built on the 23rd and shipped today. Not a bad turnaround time in these times, let's just hope it doesn't fall apart now. o_O

Sure wish Ford could've done this with the Bronco's instead of having to wait years for one.

Fords roll out of the Bronco and maverick has been abysmal. Glad your getting your Jeep ahead of schedule!

Thanks! Yes it's more more than trying waiting for the Bronco to say the least. Then with Ford going to an allocation system puts me out close to 4 years from date of order. At least I'll have the Jeep now and will have time to decide if I still want to go forward with my Bronco order or who knows by then the new 6G Ranger will have been out and maybe one of those.

I think you made a wise decision going with a jeep. It’s hard to beat an icon at what it’s dominated for 80 years.
This will be my first one and for the price (4% under invoice) I figured I couldn't go wrong. I can already tell it's going to be a bigger money pit than my Ranger. lol :curse:

Jeep has been around for so long that there very few parts of the Jeep that can't be optioned or upgraded. I would recommend you start with recovery gear.

I already bought the rock sliders and the Spiderweb shade. lol The Rubicon comes with rock rails but they only really protect the pinch weld area and these can be installed around them for added protection. I do need to get some more recovery gear to add to what I already have. There's so much for aftermarket parts for these you could go crazy buying stuff up.

Congrats!! I know it's been a long wait but it'll be worth it.:party::like:

This will be a close one, mine only has to go from OH-IA. But then I need to have it transported here to AZ. It came in way earlier than I expected so it makes more sense for me to ship it than take time off right now.

Ready...set...go! :clock: ?
