Stalking the factory
I'm about 4 weeks into my order - dealer says second week of May now.
So why check the internet when you can stalk the factory?
I happened to be in Toledo for work this week and drove past the Jeep factory. Although I was pretty sure they didn't allow guests or tours, I called anyway. Customer service, although very friendly, was not able to get me access to watch some Jeeps role off the line.
I was heading to a meeting so didn't have time to investigate the site, but snapped a shot (not a very good one) from the expressway.

That's the spirit! Let's all go to Toledo and just wait impatiently at the factory doors! They'll build our Jeeps just to get us out of their hair!

SO I'm probably going to order exactly what I want and be done with it (trading in a '10 Sahara).
My wife, who thinks I'm half an idiot anyway, what with all the Jeep related stuff and whatnot, goes and takes my jeep out to the store, sunny/70's/top off (the Jeep, not her!). She comes back, reminds me that I'm still half an idiot then goes on to say how much fun her little trip was.
I've posted here if for no other reason than to have a base line for future order-related whinings and bitching...
Thanks ARJeeper for restarting this thread. Cheers!

Finally got my second email...
Order 4/1
First email 4/13
Second Email 4/30
At this rate I'm going to be one of the longest orders on these order threads I think

I just called and my estimated ship date was 5/12... not sure how that works being that that's a Saturday.
Being that I live in Austin, and their is a major railway going right through here I'm hoping my delivery is quick.
