Can't be a coincidence that all of us with JKUR's are all seeing "something" today, be it e-mail, VIN, status change, whatever. All the recent posts are for 6 speeds as well, so maybe I'm wrong about the "just in time" assembly. Or maybe it was the manual transmission holding things up. All I know is that this makes 5 of us with JKUR manual transmissions seeing something today when we were all in the dark last night.
Regardless, VOTS is kind of useless. By the time you get your confirmation, you'll already be in "production scheduled." Frame, Paint, trim, and final inspection will all happen within 40 hours. Highly doubtful they update it along the way. By the time it is shipped, guarantee the dealer will call you before VOTS updates that it has been delivered. So I'm going to try to forget about VOTS (I won't be successful, and I'll still click on it, but I least I already know I'm a fool for assuming it might ever be helpful).
Side note, black helicopter gibberish: I find it odd that everyone always gets their e-mails at exactly the same time. Always 5:31 am PST on a Thursday morning. Someone tell me they got an e-mail some other time? If you got your e-mail, I suspect it was today, right around that time, and something is happening with your order right now.

I got an estimated ship date of March 5, so I should hopefully have it by the end of that week since the plant is so close. Can't wait!

richtor, your dealer will have your VON (Vehicle Order Number). I found the VOTS link. It is jeep.com/vots. VOTS lists my vehicle as scheduled for production. That's pretty quick I guess since I placed my order on 2/11.
