Check the Status of your Jeep JK Wrangler - Order Status Codes

[wayoflife]

If you've got a JK on order and want to know what the status of it is, here's what you need to do.

If you have a VIN or a VON off your order sheet (which you wouldn't unless your order was in "D" status), you can call 1-800-992-1997. Follow the prompts, stay on the line for an operator, and they can look it up for you.

Below is a complete list of Chrysler status codes that should help you figure out what it means:

ORDER STATUS CODES

BB - review by fleet department
BD - special equipment processing
BE - edit error
BG - passed edit n/a for schedule
BGL - edit ok parts unavailable
BX - passed edit available for schedule
C - sub firm
D - firm schedule - dealer has allocation and all parts available
D - 1 gateline schedule - scheduled to be built
E - frame
F - paint
G - trim
I - built not ok'd
J - built ok'd
JB - shipped to body vendor
JE - emission check
JS - shipped to storage
KZ - released by plant , invoiced
KZL - released - not shipped
KZM - first rail departure
KZN - first rail arrival
KZO - delayed/recieved
KZOA - plant holds
KZOB - zone/distribution holds
KZOC - carrier delays
KZOD - carrier holds
KZOE - mis-shipped vehicle
KZOF - show/test vehicle
KZOG - damaged vehicle
KZOH - all other reasons
KZT - second rail departure
KZU - second rail arrival
KZX - delivered to dealer
ZA - canceled

As most of you probably know by now im living in Japan for the next few weeks. Id love to know the status of my JK but I cant use my calling card to make 1800 calls so I have no way of finding out. My VIN is 1J4FA24197L112773 if anybody out there is bored and has a spare couple minutes could you call for me and let me know the status? I'll even pay ya for it! Pay = a cold beer outta my fridge if you're ever in the Tampa Bay Area. Thanks a lot!

[ericdewayne]

It was slated to be built on the week of Sep 21st

[Rubimon]

WOL, have you checked your status lately? Mine went D on 10-3:2thumbs: . I know we ordered around the same time.

[ericdewayne]

I just got a conformation that my 2dr X shipped from the factory on the the 2nd!! WOW! Thats awesome it wasnt supposed to be at the dealership till the 27th! If its already shipped as of 3 days ago I wonder when the dealership will get it? Im in happy land right now!

[Piginajeep]

My dealer tells me the delivery date is 6-8 weeks.

is this realistic? or are they blowing smoke up my ass?

[jkunlimited07]

I just got my order number today from the dealer :D

I called the number above but they weren't able to find it in the system yet. Does anyone know how long it takes before it gets registered in the system? Thanks.

[Silver Bullet]

I to just ordered mine (a 4-door Rubicon) on 9-6. I made the call to the 800 number and was told it's in "BG Status".

[tolh13]

My dealer tells me the delivery date is 6-8 weeks.

is this realistic? or are they blowing smoke up my ass?

Ordered a 4 dr Sahara on 9/13/06 and it is built and waiting on a train.so i will see mine on the low end of 6-8 weeks

[RedOctober]

I ordered my 4dr Rubicon on 17 August.

I just called and they said it was still in "D" status!!

Anyone know what the holdup is?

Also, FWIW, the rep I spoke to said their computer updates on Monday and Friday, so calling between these days would be a waste of time - if this is actually true.

Man, I wish I knew. I know the 2-Door Rubies are shipping cause I just saw a couple yesterday. Me, my order has been in since July 10th. :naw:

[HEFTY]

So I'm in "Quality Control" satues ......... so what does this mean really.

[Rubimon]

So I'm in "Quality Control" satues ......... so what does this mean really.

I hope it means they pulled all of the quality control guys over to help work on mine!:D

[tcpatter]

I ordered mine on the 5th and called this morning. They said it is in the paint stage but when they spoke with the dealership yesterday that said it has an estimated ship date of today. Less than two weeks from order to ship...not too shabby.

[Piginajeep]

I called Jeep today without the Vin or VON#. the dealer said they did not have one yet.

The guy from Jeep put me on hold called my dealer..
He came back with my VIN#. Damn they are good.

Its in D-1 status... Being shipped October 24, I ordered the 4th of October...

How long does it take to get to my dealer??


Anyone wanna buy an 06 JettaTDI/... I need it sold!

[Phishjeep]

3 weeks, not bad for a ship time. What features did you order?

I just checked my status again now. Still D1, but they weren't able to give me a ship date. They told me to call my dealer for more information, but he wasn't available. How did you get your ship date information?

BTW, I think the shipping time from Toldeo to Columbiana can't be that long.

your right...i never thaught of that.. Hell will they let me go pick it up?:D


The service rep from Jeep gave me the ship date of the 24th./

We order a Rescue Green 2-door S model. Tow package (wanted the D44 rearend). and a 6 disc Cd changer.

With anyluck it will be sitting on 35's with front and rear bumpers before it has any miles on it..

[jpaddict]

I ordered on Sept 26, and as of today (10-18) it is still in D status. It is a black Rubi 2 door.

I am jonesn' for this rig!

[JPRS51]

Anyone know what the holdup is?

Also, FWIW, the rep I spoke to said their computer updates on Monday and Friday, so calling between these days would be a waste of time - if this is actually true.

The hold up is that they are only building 10 to 20 of these a day. There are over 10,000 orders in the system.

It is not ture that they update the computers on Monday and Friday only. They update on a regular basis. Even multiple times per day. Everything is automated, not like some poor guy is entereing in all the production status codes. When the vehicle gets to a certain part of production they scan it and the computer updates.

On cars like the PT Cruiser I have seen them go from BA (Fresh Order) to BX to D status within a couple hours.

[nota4re]

I ordered my 4-Door Rubicon on September 19 - a little more than 4-weeks ago. I used the 800 number at the beginning of this thread to learn that my order is in "BG" status. So, essentially, after 4-weeks I am nowhere. It seems like that there is a wide variance of what each dealer can do to get you an ordered car. From a consumer's perspective this just sucks. It shouldn't be the case that I have to find the dealer who may not have used up all of his/her tokens versus someone who has. At this point, I'm wondering if I should hang in there on this order or if I should go somehere else. Opinions and info is appreciated. I don't know if it is the "status" of my dealer (may have already used all of his allocation) or if it is just a delay with production. In the first scenario, changing dealers may help, but in the second scenario, switching dealers will have no effect. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this.

[JPRS51]

Here are the facts about current orders or orders that you are about to submit.

If you have an order which is in D status or further along in the process then your dealer should have an idea of when your vehicle will arrive.

If your vehicle is in anything before D status (includes BA, BG, and BX) then the following applies to you and is the same for every dealer in the nation. No dealer can get by the following:

WRANGLER
(JKTM74)(w24C) Wrangler Unlimited X 4x2 4 DR Sched. Out Nov.
( J KJL72)( w/ 23 B & 24 B) Wrangler X 4x4 2 DR Sched. Out Nov.
(JKJM74)(All Packages) Wrangler Unlimited X 4x4 4 DR Sched. Out Nov.
(JKJP74)(All Packages) Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4x4 4 DR Sched. Out Nov.
(JKJS74)(All Packages) Wr angler Unlimited Rubicon 4x4 4 DR Sched. Out Nov.


“Sched. Out November” means that if you have any of the above ordered then your dealer will not even have a possible allocation of your vehicle until the December allocation is issued. That means that the next possible build date you will have is for December Build. December build should start in the last quarter of November.

Chrysler does not give priority to sold orders other than building them first for a dealer. They do not get put ahead of other dealers orders. Some might think this is not fair, but it is. Each dealer gets a certain amount of allocation based on previous sales. This gives each dealer the appropriate amount of vehicles based on sales history.

If the factory did just build any sold order ahead of other for-stock units, what would stop me from just putting a bunch of names on every order and then getting a ton of Wranglers built why every other dealer just had to wait? That is why each dealer is allocated a certain amount, and that allocation covers sold orders as well.

It is very important to discuss this with the dealer when ordering a vehicle. Asking questions about their allocation in past months, what they expect their allocation to be, and how many other sold orders are in their pipeline are very important.



A little bit more on allocation:

Allocation comes out on each Monday 4 times a month. So if there is 5 weeks then the 5th week is skipped. Allocation is issued by quarter for the following month of build dates. So allocation that I receive this coming Monday (October 23rd) will be for the 4th quarter build dates of November.

We get allocation for both 2 door Wranglers and 4 Door Wranglers. Last week I received an allocation for 2 of the 4-door and 5 of the 2-door. That means that I was able to get 2 of the Unlimited’s scheduled based on the regulations listed above. The mix can very week to week for many reasons.

Allocation priority is given to sold orders for each dealership and will usually get built quicker, but they will not be placed in a priority position above any other dealership.



One last rant:

I see a ton of people posting that they placed an order for a Wrangler with MyGig or a 4-Door Unlimited with Half Doors. Both of these options are not yet available for order. Again, both for these options are not yet available for order. That means that your dealer could not possibly have an order in the system for you. If they have taken an order from you they did nothing more than write that order down on paper and are waiting for these 2 options to become available.

Job 1 for MyGig is Dec 18th. That means it should open up in the order system around the 2nd to 3rd week in November (possibly later)

Job 1 for Unlimited Half Doors is Jan 31st. That means it should open up in the order system around the last week in December or 1st week of January.

[JPRS51]

A note about 4 Door Rubicon's:

Here is the story... When orders originally opened up for the 4 Door Wrangler a ton of Rubicon orders were entered into the system. Many were built, but there was a problem with some of the originally planned parts. First issue was with the Sway bar Disconnect system, which was sucking in water and they had to replace a seal in all of them. Second was a problem with balancing the tires, which they are still dealing with. Because of these 2 things all Rubicon models that had been built were shipped to a storage facility to have these alterations done.

Another problem that was created by this is a huge amount of ordered and scheduled Rubicon Unlimited's that were now being delayed. These vehicles were made up of the first vehicles placed in the order system. So if you were not at the dealer the week that orders opened up then you most likely do not have anything beyond BX status at this point. I have not heard of anyone getting a Rubicon allocated to beyond the first couple of weeks in which orders were placed. This would mean that they are attempting to catch up to all the orders they originally scheduled. That is also why they have shown the Rubicon as being "Built Out" for over 6 weeks now.

I had 7 Rubicon Unlimited's which were to be built at the head of the line for companies taking them to SEMA and those showed up 6 weeks later than originally thought by the factory and reps. Since those initial orders, the Rubicon 4 door models have been listed as Built Out by the factory. This means that no dealer is able to get any built. Hopefully things change and they being allocating them again for December build dates.

I currently have 4 sold Rubicon orders in the system and another 14 stock unit orders. Once the factory changes the status of the Rubicon Unlimited so that they being allocating them again, then sold orders will begin being scheduled. After a dealer has had sold orders scheduled then they will begin allocating the stock orders.

So the story goes that unless you had your order in the first week that they were allocating 4 doors, and it was actually placed in D status at that time, then you will unfortunately be waiting until the factory begins allocating them again.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. I will answer them with the strait facts.

Does this include the 2 Door Rubicons? I placed my order for a two-door Rubicon 9-22. It was the first 2-Door that my Dealership ordered as sold. I went to D status around October 4th, and D-1 Status around 10-16. In you estimation, should I expect it in November or December or later? The reason I am asking, other than sheer excitement, is that their is someone perhaps more excited than I am. My 16 year old niece gets my Saturn L200 as soon as my Jeep comes. Thanks!

As mentioned above I was only referring to 4-door models. I have received 3 Rubicon 2-door models in the last couple days, with more on the way.

If all goes smoothly with yours figure 5-6 days for build, 2-3 days to the transport facility, and another 5-10 days for delivery to dealership. For So Cal it is usually 4-5 weeks from D1 status, but there are those that take a little longer.

If you contact your dealer they should now be able to give you an expected ship date which they would find in DealerConnect.

[Rubimon]

I ordered mine (2 Dr Rubicon) on 9-20, and it went D status on 10-3 and has been sitting there ever since. I hope the fact that Phishjeep went D1 on 10-16, that mine should change soon too.:cool:

[dhoffroad]

this thread should be a "sticky"

[RedOctober]

Jeff/Don-A-Vee,

First of all,thanks for all the "inside" info - if there wasn't such a backlog, I would have got my JK from you guys.

My Rubicon Unlimited has been in "D" status since September, I checked today and they told me it's in "D-1" status.

Any idea what I can expect for a delivery date?

Thanks again...

[SpudRacer]

I checked the status of my order this morning which was originally placed on Sept 28th, then reordered due to color change to Rescue Green on October 10th. I was told they don't even have a code for me yet as it is on a "Materials Restriction." What in the world does THAT mean?? I don't mind the wait, because I'm hoping they make more changes on the assembly line, and improve the painting before mine goes into production!

Thanks,

Tom
Bryson City, NC

[Piginajeep]

"L" status??? is that a new one? or she cant read?

the lady said its in production!:D

[JPRS51]

Materials Restriction means that there is a needed part or option that is not available right now so they have put it on hold until that part comes in. They are not going to be scheduling any Rubicon 4-doors that have not already been scheduled until December Build Dates.

Did you read the rest of this thread? I talk about Rubicon Unlimited modles in length...

Yes, I read every post of yours in detail. I wasn't asking WHEN my Jeep would be built, your posts were clear and concise. I was merely asking what MATERIALS RESTRICTION meant, nothing less, nothing more.

Tom
Bryson City, NC

[JPRS51]

I should have explained more. The hold in which I had discussed could be what is called a materials hold. That meaning they are not able to aquire enough materials (parts & supplies) to support the scheduling of more Rubicon 4-door models than already scheduled.

The materials hold is not really a big thing. Everyone is in the same boat. I would assume it is due to the tire problem, which would constitute a materials hold.

[JPRS51]

"L" status??? is that a new one? or she cant read?

The only status I could find containing L would be either BG L (Materials Restriction) or KZ L (released but not shipped).

[Rubimon]

Jeff, My 2 dr Rubicon went into D status on 10-3 and that is where it still is. I think when I ordered I heard rumor that October build dates were filled. Does that mean it probably won't change to D1 until the beginning of November? Any guesses?:confused:

It could change to D1 at any time. If it were in BX status and not yet scheduled then the "build out" would affect it.

[Piginajeep]

thanks! . maybe my jeeps special? either way she said its in production..

in one sentence you have been more helpful than my dealer has through out the process,, and on the test drive, i treated the 4 door- jeep like a baby..:D

edit... its in KZ status built and invoiced!

[dhoffroad]

first off I would also like to thank Jeff from Don A Vee for all his help here and in PM's . it's nice to have a person (dealer) on the inside who actualy knows what the heck is going on.

and I do have a quick question for you ( Jeff ) if my 4 door rubi is in "D" status then I should expect it done by the end of Nov.? I'm not exactly sure how long it's been in "D" status since I just put money down on it friday and it was already in D.

thanks
Danny

[Phishjeep]

'E' status!!

I guess that means it's getting closer, but probably won't make the estimated ship date of today.

D really just means that they have scheduled the vehicle and issued a VIN. I have seen vehicles sit in D status for more than a month unfortunately. D1 is the real deal. Sometimes they will show an expected build date for a vehicle in D status. They can look this up on dealer connect.

Sorry I don't have any info beyond that.

[Cadually]

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:
3 weeks and its only at BD. wankers!!!:yup:
Well the dealer said 6-8 weeks, so that give thenm another 3 - 5 weeks of building and delievering it.

Any dealer quoting 6 to 8 weeks at this time is bound ot have a bunch of upset customers. I would put the time frame for an order that is not built out at 8-12 weeks.

[Rubimon]

Jeff, thanks for all the info you supply here. It has been very helpful. I was wondering what you've heard about the "employee advantage pricing".
I have heard on other sites that DC cancelled it for the Wrangler and some dealers aren't honoring it. My dealer gave me a print out of my order and when I told him I had the number he said "great you can save a little more money" and said I'd be paying the number in the FFP column. I put down a $500 dollar deposit but I don't really have any signed, total price out the door agreement. Is that going to be a problem?

Thanks

Jeep cancelled many of the programs offered on the Wrangler. The key thing is the Control Number you have. That will determine the actual program you fall under and whether or not the program is offered. The dealer does not have to participate in any type of Empoyee or Affiliate programs if they do not want to.

Here are a couple of the common ones:

Dealership Employee is applicable
Employee Choice (factory employees) is not applicable
Fleet Affiliate is applicable

[Cadually]

Yes Jeff, thanks for being here mang! Its great that we have an insider on the board. :yup:

[JPRS51]

23G, which is not built out, is a manual trans.

Of course if you are already in D status then this info does not apply. This is for people BA through BX status (including BG).

I ordered my Jeep on Sept. 30...since then I just wander the house, blood shot eyes, mumbling to myself...my tattered Jeep catalog in one hand, the entire print-out of Jeff's report on vehicle status in the other...:sad2:


Seriously though, I would also like to thank Jeff for all of the information he has provided. I actually did print it all out so that I could have it as a reference. Congratulations to those of you who are finally taking delivery of your Jeeps. :D

I've called the hot-line 3 times hoping for a change in status, but its still 'BG'. I had pre-arranged my financing, however it was only good for 45 days, it expired today. Now I will have to completely re-apply. I know that nothing should have changed and it shouldn't be a problem...but until I'm issued a new blank check I'll be a bit nervous. :sad:

I just hope that when they finally decide to turn on the machine that builds the Unlimited Rubicon's mine will not be too far down the line.

Edit - Well miracles do happen. As I was typing this my wife was sending me a chat message letting me know they approved us for a new loan, and they actually increased the amount by $2,000. At least I can relax about that part now.

[SpudRacer]

23G, which is not built out, is a manual trans.

Of course if you are already in D status then this info does not apply. This is for people BA through BX status (including BG).

Here's an explanation of these terms from Jeff on another board:


“Sched. Out November” means that if you have any of the above ordered then your dealer will not even have a possible allocation of your vehicle until the December allocation is issued. That means that the next possible build date you will have is for December Build. December build should start in the last quarter of November.

Chrysler does not give priority to sold orders other than building them first for a dealer. They do not get put ahead of other dealers orders. Some might think this is not fair, but it is. Each dealer gets a certain amount of allocation based on previous sales. This gives each dealer the appropriate amount of vehicles based on sales history.

If the factory did just build any sold order ahead of other for-stock units, what would stop me from just putting a bunch of names on every order and then getting a ton of Wranglers built why every other dealer just had to wait? That is why each dealer is allocated a certain amount, and that allocation covers sold orders as well.

It is very important to discuss this with the dealer when ordering a vehicle. Asking questions about their allocation in past months, what they expect their allocation to be, and how many other sold orders are in their pipeline are very important.



A little bit more on allocation:

Allocation comes out on each Monday 4 times a month. So if there is 5 weeks then the 5th week is skipped. Allocation is issued by quarter for the following month of build dates. So allocation that I receive this coming Monday (October 23rd) will be for the 4th quarter build dates of November.

We get allocation for both 2 door Wranglers and 4 Door Wranglers. Last week I received an allocation for 2 of the 4-door and 5 of the 2-door. That means that I was able to get 2 of the Unlimited’s scheduled based on the regulations listed above. The mix can very week to week for many reasons.

Allocation priority is given to sold orders for each dealership and will usually get built quicker, but they will not be placed in a priority position above any other dealership.


So I've read that a bunch of times, and I'm still a little confused about the real world implications of "Sched. Out Nov."

I am in BG status currently. Could I get a call as early as next Monday (when the new December allocations come out) that would put me in "D" status for a December build? Or am I looking at sitting in BG until December?

[JPRS51]

Once they reach plant capacity for the month on a particular model and package of vehicle they will issue a Scheduled Out or Built Out status. This means that no more of that particular model/package will be scheduled (put in D status) for the production period.

Hence, the next available production period for that particular model/package would be the following month.

Dealers have no control over this. We are at the mercy of the factory.

Orders that are already in D status or further down the production line are not affected by being built out, in fact their scheduling contributed to a vehicle being listed as built out, becasue that scheduled vehicle took one of the available production spots.

[mmccurdy]

Okay, so I'm looking at waiting until December to even be scheduled to be built, add another 4 weeks to that at least until I take delivery, that's 12+ weeks as opposed to the 6-8 quoted when I ordered.

To make matters worse the inventory search is down on jeep.com so I can't even obsessively check dealers' lots anymore. Very frustrating :)

I have mentioned in many different threads that any dealer quoting 6-8 weeks for delivery is going to have many unhappy customers. The realistic time period for the Wrangler at this time is more like 12 to 16 weeks. Unfortunate but true.

[Rubimon]

Even more frustrating; the plant shuts down for two weeks over the holidays so I am sure fewer vehicles will make the Dec. build list.:sad:

[Cadually]

Called DC today. Dude on the phone (not gona mentiona any names) told me it says status "reffer customer to dealership manager". I says there is no such thing booger. So I figured i am talking to a real booger here. So I called back in half hour and spoke to a diff fella this time, was very helpful, said that the car has been in production since Oct 14th. It is now in status BG - passed edit n/a for schedule. 2 days ago it was in? BD - special equip processing. Am I looking at like January delivery time here?:naw: :yup: :eek!:

I believe thatthe factory calls a vehicle "in production" the moment the order is placed. Unfortunately BG status is the early stage of the order. That means it has been placed but not accepted yet as a legitimate order.

Ordered a Rubicon Unlimited, Jeep Green, manual, khaki interior, soft top, window tint, trailer group on October, 06 2006. Just got notice today of a BG status with late Nov. delivery...not going to holdup the turkey waiting...what are the odds on Nov. delivery? Thanks to the JK-Forum for the status codes - went to the dealer and asked they find the code status for me...Can't wait for the Jeep's arrival...does anyone know that if you order kahki interior, the top will be khaki rather than black...Thanks

I believe kahki tops are Sahara models only. My Rubicon is kahki interior, there was no choice offered for top color.

[mmccurdy]

I guess I was still hoping the 6-8 week estimate was good at the time that I ordered (a month ago). Thanks again for your honest info -- from your other posts it looks like what happened is that I didn't make the cut and hit D in time for the 6-8 week turnaround and now I'm in 16 week land. :sad: Oh well, building cars is hard -- I'm pretty impressed that they can ever hit their estimates with all the pieces that need to be integrated and tested and other things that need to come together to make it show up on a dealer's lot.

On the bright side, I just took a look at my calendar, and I'm traveling probably 75% of those intervening weeks, so it should pass quickly for me...

[crwood1]

[Cadually]

so i called the dealer to see wha they gona tell me about my car and after being on hold he told me that my jeep is under zone restriction. he couldnt explain wtf that is. sounds like he is blowing smoke. and then he tried selling me one of the x's he has on a lot, so i said no. what is a zone restriction?:D

[jkunlimited07]

I ordered my Sahara Unlimited on Oct. 10. I'm starting to realize that I probably won't see it until 2007. If I'm going to wait that long, can I have my dealer add the Navigation to it (it's still in BG status)? At what point can I no longer make changes to my vehicle? Thanks.

You can have an option added up to the point which the vehicle goes into D status, when it receives a VIN.

[Cadually]

I was feelin really quirky this mornin' and I decided to confront my dealer with this restriction nonsense he gave me. So I spent about 20 min on hold and the wanker never picked up the phone. I think he may have felt whats coming. And this is a 5 star dealership on jeep.com
So I call back and ask for business dept manager. So I let it all out. He went and personally dragged the salesman I dealt with to the phone and we all went over this restriction bullshit. Basically there was no restriction, he made it up. He said that the car is on order but is not being physically built yet. As I mentioned yesterday it is in status BG. He told me to check back on the 9th with him. I also made him come clean to me about realistic delivery date. He said to plan pickup for late December and not 6-8 weeks as he initially told me cuz this is already week 4. Oh man he don't realize. He was about to get nunchuuuuuuuuuuuuucked toniiiite :D :yup:

Do you know if this will affect your place in the queue at all? I've been back and forth on a few smaller details in my head, but I would definitely not risk losing my "place in line" for them.

[Milkman]

I have no idea how this ordering actually works. I didn't order until Oct 24 for an Unlimited Sahara and I am BX status already. Maybe my dealer hasn't used up their allotment or something. Any, hoping I get it before the end of the year especially since the dealer is trying to take my Jeep....

BX means it is an acceptable order, but does not mean it is much further than BG status. An order can go from BG to BX to D in a mtter of seconds. What really matters is when your vehicle goes ot D status.

In your case I would put my money on January for delivery.

What do you mean the dealer by the dealer is trying to take your jeep?

[Milkman]

I'm trading in my 2001 TJ on my new 4 door JK. My TJ has less than 32,000original miles on it. When I stopped last night to get my VON # they informed me that they had sold my Jeep (My 2001) and they are trying to find something for me to drive until mine comes in Dec/Jan. As soon as they find me a vehicle I will be without my jeep....

I thought you meant they were trying to take the one you had on order!:eek!:

[Area-51]

BX status on mine :sad:

Doesn't look like anything sooner than mid December, best case scenario now, based on the info on the boards.

At least my dealer is saying my order is #1 in their priority for allocation...so when their number is up for one, mine can move forward.

[JPRS51]

Had a bunch of vehicles move from BG to BX today. And even though there is no allocation at this time, I had a 4 door rubi move from BG to D status.

Could it be that they may start building some of these? I will keep you all updated.

[dhoffroad]

man I wish there was a online way to check on the status of your order , would be much easier than having to call....is there anyway we can get into your system...LOL....

[jpaddict]

I have now been in D status for one month. The dealer says the hold up is the freedom top (I ordered dual tops).

Has anyone taken delivery of a 2dr Rubi with a freedom top?

I have seen them on lots, actually test drove one. I would bet your month long D status has more to do with monthly build outs and dealer alocations. You probably ordered sometime in Sept when all the build outs for Oct were filled. My uneducated guess tells me that you are slated for a Nov build and that you will change to D1 soon. I hope I am right as I am in the same boat as you, D status for a month on a 2dr Rubi.

well hopefully its eddie's rubi that moved up !!!!!

and yea it would be nice if they started to build some of these my 4 door rubi has just been sittin in D hopefully it's gona move up soon....I think I'll call tomarrow and se if it's moved to D1 yet.

[jpaddict]

At this point I don't care what the reason is----I want my Rubi!

Are the freedom tops still leaking? Fixed? I live in Seattle, so it does matter.

[sahara07]

Yours was released form the plant today at 7:47 AM Central Time and is currently in KZ status. Estimated delivery date to your dealer is on the 7th of Novmeber.

Now my dealer says it looks like sometime after November 13th. DOH!!!:banghead:

[rhodesian]

I Ordered my Sahara Unlimited on 10-16-06 and it is still in BG Status. I have a feeling I'll be pretty cold when I try out the Freedom Top, I'm guessing Late Nov/DEcember. Dealer thinks I'll get it this month. We'll see.

[dhoffroad]

yea sounds like your dealer is blown smoke up your a$$....from the sounds of things you'll be lucky to see it end of Dec. but more than likely jan, if you look back a couple pages you'll see Jeff from Don A Vee tell someone in the same status you are that realisticly they should be lookin for jan..

[Beel_MT]

Got some potentially good news today from my salesman. I sent e-mail and asked about the allocation of the order, as mentioned by Jeff.

My order was placed 30 Sept. and it was a dealer allocation. They gave us a copy of the order sheet so I know it went in on that day.

So I guess I can assume that if they decide to throw the switch on the Rubi’s production line that I might not have too much longer to wait?

I’d like to call and check the status again, but maybe I’ll wait. The operators are always very friendly but they seem to make a point of saying, “It’s in BG status, just like the last time you called…” They need an online site to check status. ;)

We shall see,

Ordered 30 Sept. – BG Status – Rescue Green, Unlimited Rubicon, dual tops, and towing package.

I hate to put a damper on the party....but...

If it was an allocated order it would have been put into D status on the day that allocation was finalized. Allocation is issued on Monday and is finished up on Wednesday. So if it was not put in D status on the wednesday following the monday allocation, then the dealer does not know what they are talking about.

In your case the order was placed on Saturday the 30th of September. The dealer got their next allocation on Monday, october 2nd. The Allocation would have been finanlized on Wednesday, October 4th. Your vehicle, if allocated, would have moved to D status on Wednesday, October 4th.

If you now hate me, feal free to send me a PM calling me names.:cursing:

Haha, no I don't hate your honesty. I appreciate all of the help you have been to everyone.

[JPRS51]

As of today they are supposed ot have the 1st allocation for December week 1. There was an email sent to me from the factory that stated they are having problems with system upgrades and will have the allocation at a later time. Don't know if this means later today ro when.

Thanks for the info. If you are notified from DCX when the allocations are updated would you mind posting an update? I really hope I get a December build but am afraid to call DCX and hear I'm still in BG ... :sad:

I noticed you have the Hard Top Only (VK0) option on your list as "TBD". I hope that's not what's holding up my order since I picked that option. Can't imagine how it would though :confused:

I would say it is TBD because they may be short on Hard Tops. That is why it included Hard Top Only and AEM, which is dual top. Usually when they list TBD it is updated when they are available. It would not be built out for December.

so basically you are saying that if you are not in "d-1" status as of today, you are not getting built in December either?? except the TBD anyway...

[JPRS51]

Correct.

If you have a model on order which is listed in the above list, which is not already in D status or further, then you will most likely not be getting a December build date.

The Hard Top issue could be a couple days or a couple weeks. Should nto be long though.


On another note, they just released allocation about 10 minutes ago.

[Loki]

Don't suppose they have any RER option status?

[mmccurdy]

Well I called DCX and my status DID change today from BG-L to BX, that's progress but doesn't necassarily guarantee me a December build yet.

My order does NOT fall into Don-A-Vee's "December Built Out List" as I got the 23R Unlimited Rubicon package w/ hardtop.

Don-A-Vee, is there still any hope I could go to D status for a December build?

Yes, you could make it. The only thing that might hurt you is the hard top. Balance out will occur on Wednesday night. That means that by Wednesday they will move any alocated vehicles into D or D1 status. So check on Thursday morning and that will tell you.

Of course you need to remember that we will have 3 allocations for December. This week was the 1st and there are 2 more to go. Then in December we move to January Allocations. So even if it does not go into D this week, you still have 2 more weeks for a chance.

[Rubimon]

I have a 2dr Rubicon, dual tops in D status since 10/3. I am guessing it would be a November build. Should it have moved to D1 by now if it going to happen in Nov.? Thanks Jeff!

D just means it has an actual build date scheduled. It will go into D1 when it actually starts production. So yours may be scheduled for the latter part of November, which would mean there are a coupld weeks to go before it goes into D1.

You'd think I'd had ordered something different but no. Dual tops, power group, side air bags, tow package, locking gas cap and of course floor mats. Maybe that's the hold up, out of floor mats :yup:

I think there is just a huge amount of unlimiteds on order.

[rhodesian]

Just went to D status on an unlimited with Hard top on an Order placed in Mid October. I am feeling (slightly) less depressed now ;-)

I agree that there must be tons and tons of Unlimited's on order. I'm surprised that they are pushing the advertising so hard (e-mails, commercials, mag ads) and you can't get one in less than 6 weeks it seems. They are getting the die hards to accept this wait, but you would think that the every day average customer walking into a dealer will not accept a 6 week wait.

I live in Philly and have stated from the beginning that no matter what the temp is I'm spending the first day in the JK with the Freedom tops off, I might regret this but I have been excited about that top since last winter/Spring when they announced it.

[HG97TJ]

Balance out will occur on Wednesday night. That means that by Wednesday they will move any alocated vehicles into D or D1 status. So check on Thursday morning and that will tell you.

Of course you need to remember that we will have 3 allocations for December. This week was the 1st and there are 2 more to go. Then in December we move to January Allocations. So even if it does not go into D this week, you still have 2 more weeks for a chance.

Don-A-Vee,

I checked today with DCX and I'm still in BX so I guess I did not make the first December allocation. :naw: I guess I'll have to wait until the 2nd December allocation. Would that occur on Monday again?

Also - do the following dates make sense based on your comment above?
Week of 11/06 - December Allocation 1 of 3 :naw:
Week of 11/13 - December Allocation 2 of 3 :yup: hopefully!!!
Week of 11/20 - December Allocation 3 of 3
Week of 11/27 - January Allocation 1 of ...

Thanks,
Howie

[JPRS51]

Don-A-Vee,

Week of 11/06 - December Allocation 1 of 3 :naw:
Week of 11/13 - December Allocation 2 of 3 :yup: hopefully!!!
Week of 11/20 - December Allocation 3 of 3
Week of 11/27 - No Allocation (factory break)
Week of 12/04 - January Allocation 1of ?

My understanding was that if you're not "D" by now, you're looking at January build for most models (Don-A-Vee Jeff has a post a page or two back with all the models "Scheduled Out Dec."), i.e. you cannot go "D" until at least the first January allocation, which would presumably by the first week in December?

Is that not correct? Or are you one of the lucky ones not included in the "sched. out" list?

My order is not on the December "scheduled out" list (yet), I ordered the 23R (6 spd) Unlimited Rubicon. Only the auto showed up on the "Sched out" list. :yup:

What a bummer. If you can believe it, I already have parts in hand or at least lined up to be installed and no JK to install them on. :sad:

[rhodesian]

My dealer thinks I have a chance to see my JK in November or Early December. I think he's done blowing Smoke up my ... I just want it before its snowing :D

[Area-51]

grrrr, now Chrysler can't find my order in calling the 800 number.

went into BX status a couple of weeks ago, ordered the 1st week of Oct...others noting they went into D status this week with similar order dates, so was hopeful.

call into the dealer to have them check. Just curious how the 800 number can find the order last week with the VON, and this week nothing.

[Beel_MT]

So how many folks are sliding into D status today? Hopefully a few made it in and it's an indication that things will start moving forward.

I didn't call, tired of being disappointed. Maybe I'll try the end of next week.

Coming up on six weeks...

I'm in the same place you two (jpaddict & Rubimon) are, mine was orderd 9-19-06 and I assume it went into D the same time as yours did. hopefully they get these built SOON, the wait is killin me...LOL...

Well guys, I went into D1 Status on 11/08, should ship by end of the month. Just wondering if you guys moved up too. Dealer said he should have a better ship date for me next week!:eek!:

[JPRS51]

Just updated today via email from my rep:

DECEMBER 2007MY - Period 2 allocations will go out on Tuesday, November 14th. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday and some IT maintenance, this will be the last allocation period in December.

December 2007MY - Period 2 will run from Tuesday, November 14th to December 1st. Balance Out will occur on November 29th.

I moved to D status on the 9th, They are telling me the first week in December for a build date...

Just so I understand correctly, if I'm in BX currently, the next time I should check is Tues 11/14. If I don't go to D on Tues 11/14, I should check again on 11/29 at Dec period 2 balance out? After that, It's a January Build?

Broke down and called again this morning.

I was in BG for weeks, then went to BX last week, today I'm back in BG. :sad:

Damn this wait is brutal.

P.S. I should add the dealership I went thru was upfront about the wait. They told me to expect at least a 10 to 12 week wait. I'm only at 6 weeks, so I'm not even close to the prediction yet. Of course they never return my calls or e-mails and they lied to me about the dealer allocation.

Called DCX just now, still in BGL but the guy seemed happy because he saw an update to my record yesterday with the note "last ord edit" or "last org edit" (not sure what he was saying). He didn't have any idea what this meant, though.

Anyone know if this means anything? Anyone else been in BGL for more than a month? I really wish I could figure out what equipment they were waiting on so I could change my order not to include it :)

Not sure how long it takes from D1 until you have it in your driveway. I bet yours is ready to change too. Our status dates are tracking pretty close so far.

[dhoffroad]

I can only hope....let us know when your build date is , that way we can get a idea of how long after going to D1 the wait might be....hopefully since it sounds like DC is all messed up that going to D1 and getting actualy built is'nt another 1 month wait till the next move up in status.

I ordered a red 2 door "X" with C pkg and hard top on Oct. 13
It arrived at the dealer Nov. 10
Drove it home today Nov. 11
NOT BAD!

[SpudRacer]

Well, I drove the two hours to my dealer today, just to check on their inventory, and meet my Saleman since he wasn't returning any emails.

Salesman has been gone on family-matters for 3 weeks now. I talked to the sales manager and he graciously checked my order again on his computer. I was afraid I might have moved back to BG status, but was shocked to hear I'm now in D status and I got my VIN today. To celebrate, I went to Sears and blew $350 on more tools, including a cutting wheel to trim my factory Rock Bars to make room for 35" tires.

Does anyone know how to break down the VIN number? I've got a VIN of 7L138945. I know the 138945 is the sequence production number, but not sure on the 7 or L. There should be several other digits as well. Does anyone know a web site that breaks down the 07 JK VIN?

The dealer just uses the last eight numbers to look things up. He will have the whole number if you want it, just call him and ask. I am not sure if the rest of the numbers will tell you anything or not. I am sure they mean something in the manufacturing process. Waiting for someone to post the codes, but it's probably things you already know, automatic, paint color, model, etc.

Thanks Jeff. I was well aware that there were several missing digits and figured they only use the last8 to track orders. Now I have SOME insight as to what my VIN should be, but digits 3-8 are still unclear. Do you know a web site that breaks down the entire VIN? I can tell you what every letter and number stands for on my 69' Charger and 66' Mustang. That info is only a few clicks away with a web search.

Don't want to be a downer, but I just got off the phone with the 800 number people. Mine was ordered (4-door Rubicon) on 9/27 and I was just informed that it is on "hold" until the end of December... I don't understand.
Good luck though. Has anyone else waited 12+ weeks???
Thanks!

[JPRS51]

I have nto seen a sight for the newer Wranglers. I do not even have access to the info as far as decifering the digits 3-8.


The Rubicon Unlimited (4 door) is listed as built out through December. January will be next available build dates for these ones. That would mean that they would be scheduled starting wiht the allocation which comes out on the first Monday of December.

[Cadually]

Ordered 4 door sahara on 10/9, called today it is in status BG.

[Area-51]

Good news and bad news on my phone call to Chrysler.

Good news...they easily found my order, which was a huge improvement over last week where I was on the phone with them for over 45 minutes as they "searched" for my order, only to tell me to call my dealer to see if they had "canceled" the order.


Bad news, I seem to have slid backwards....was in BX status, now back to BG status.:sad:

[wayoflife]

I feel your pain man. I just talked to Jeff from Don-A-Vee yesterday and it looks like there's no way I'll be seeing my JK until late January to early February now. :sad2:

[JPRS51]

It is sad that so many orders are in the system and so few vehicles are coming out of the plant.

The rumor is that the DaimlerChrysler did not think the 4 door, especially in a Rubicon model, would be sucha big hit. They are now trying to transition to a position which would allow them to build 75% 4 door and 25% 2 door models as they move into 2007.

[dhoffroad]

so is there some type of hold up on the 4 door Rubi's ?? I mean there are others on this site who orderd 2 door Rubis on dates after mine and have already gone to D1 or are actualy being deliverd. why are they not building the 4 door's ??

I just called today and mine is still in "D" status BTW it was orders on Sept 19 and I believe it went to D shortly after that...

[Area-51]

Well, the "upside" of waiting until January (or shudder later) for delivery of my 4dr Rubicon will be I will end up needing to actually finance very little on this, as each month that I wait, I chunk another block of $$$ towards the cash for it.

I think I would rather eat a little interest and be driving it now, but I guess that is a positive, financing less on it...I gotta have something positive to feel good about waiting for it :)

1st Digit: Country of Origin

2nd Digit: Manufacturer of Origin
J= Jeep

3rd Digit: Vehicle Type
4= Multi Purpose Vehicle
8= Multi Purpose Vehicle w/Side Air Bags

4th Digit: GVWR
F= 4001-5000
G= 5001-6000

5th Digit: Vehicle Line
A= 4x4 Wrangler
B= 2wd Wrangler

6th Digit: Series
2= X 2 Door
3= X 4 Door
5= Sahara 2 or 4 Door
6= Rubicon 2 or 4 Door

7th Digit: Body Style
4= 2 Door
9= 4 Door

8th Digit: Engine
1= 3.8L V6

9th Digit: Check Digit

10th Digit: Year
7= 2007
8= 2008
9= 2009

11th Digit: Assembly Plant
L= Toledo I

12th - 17th Digits: Serial Number

[Rubimon]

Kind of confused. Scared me at first. My 4th digit is G, signifying 4door GVWR

then my 7th digit is a 4 signifying 2 door, which is what I ordered.

According to our product manuals the 2 door Rubicon has a GVWR of 5000. Maybe a change has been made to it to include it in the 5001-6000 class.

Nothing to worry about.

I fixed the post I made above to reflect that...

Well I'm one step closer. My order moved to "D" status yesterday.
If I make any changes to my order at this time, will it cause a delay?

My dealer was upfront with me when I placed the order mid September. He said delivery might be as late as December. It does'nt make the waiting any easier.

If you change it to a four door you could add a slight delay of 6 months or so! Hopefully DC will get that 75% 4dr 25% 2 dr build rate taken care of soon. I feel so guilty that I probably won't drive mine until everyone else gets theirs in.:rotflmao1:

Once in D status you cannot chang ethe order. They would have to submit a new order the way you want it.

so right now is it like 75% 2 door to 25% 4 door being made ??

the wait is killing me....been in D since the beg. of Oct.

I think that's what they might be trying to change to.

[Cadually]

I hear that there is a hard top shortage: regular hard and freedom. maybe Jeff can confirm.

[JPRS51]

I hear that there is a hard top shortage: regular hard and freedom. maybe Jeff can confirm.

I can confirm that. Hard Tops are currently showing built out. Status shows TBD. When they usually to not list it as just Built Out For December and they expect the wait to be a little shorter, then they list it as Built Out TBD

[Jeff]

Once in D status you cannot change the order. They would have to submit a new order the way you want it.


Thanks. I was just curious. I dont want to delay the order because I just sold my Grand Cherokee today. Now I will have to ride my motorcycle until the JK gets here.

[rm1515]

Has anyone had a status change on their order this week???

[DJFriar]

Dealer told me they have an inbound one that I can take since the original buyer backed out. Its currently in BG status he said. Any estimates on what kinda wait that would equal?

I think the way deliveries are calculated is one month per door!

No way to really tell, too many factors involved, order date, dealer alocations, parts hold ups, back orders. DC is trying to change the amount of 4 doors vs 2 doors they are manufacturing. Hopefully that will speed things up for everyone waiting. Enjoy your 2 door and don't think about it, before you know it, it will be here. Are you keeping the 2dr?

You could probably get top dollar if you could sell it right away. Once the dealers get flooded with them you will take more of a beating.

Just my $ .02

I can confirm that. Hard Tops are currently showing built out. Status shows TBD. When they usually to not list it as just Built Out For December and they expect the wait to be a little shorter, then they list it as Built Out TBD

I also got a call from my dealer yesterday re: the lack of Freedom tops. He said DC underestimated the popularity of the hardtops and the supplier is having trouble filling the requests. He was told to expect another two-week delay.

Has anyone had a status change on their order this week???

My order went from BX to D this week.

Did my weekly "status check" call today, still in "D" status, no change. Entered D on Nov 11th. I can wait.

I CANT EFFIN WAIT!!!!!!

I guess I just don't understand the order build thing, my JK has been in "D" since before this order was even placed....it's starting to realy drive me crazy waiting and seeing these orders getting built before mine. I heard that they had a prob with the tops and it was holding up the 4 door orders so that atleast gave mine a reason to just be sitting in D but the change with this order just gets me....the wait is killin me, I don't know how some of you that have had allocation problems are dealing with the wait your going to have, I guess it's the sitting in D that's getting me knowing that it's basicly ONE step away from getting built.

BTW I don't mean this harshly towards scottroxxx or any others.....well except for maby DC that is...LOL
