So... I called my dealer about what Insight was saying... that the Jeep would arrive tomorrow and hang out at the rail station in Kirby, TX for 6 days - that's less than 30 min away from my dealer. 
I asked if they could just go grab my Jeep so we can get this over with and he told me they won't deliver vehicles until they get a full truck load (or something to that effect) which means I may wait less... may wait longer... the good news? Got my funds all in line today so I can just go pay for this and be done with it. No games at the dealership for me.

m99 and MortuaR, you are the goods on your help with pics posts! That being said, I realized my issue (with posting pics) was with the Mac and why I couldn't do it like before (can't copy properties on this site with the Mac and I only run my trading platform for work on the PC so all other settings are... blah blah blah, enough about me, let's talk about MY Jeep (as that isn't about ME...) 
Through photobucket, here are initial pics. You've already clicked the pics, but I have to say that it looks less aggressive in pics than in person. These are 35" KM2's on the AEV 3.5" lift. I took the pics just as Northridge finished the test drive after the lift, DS, and aFe exhaust mod. All the other stuff was done this weekend with friends (and I hope not to see a wrench for months... but still need to hook up the compressor and either **** or tap through firewall for lights, etc... I'm beat on re-building a Jeep for the moment, so others are gonna air me up for the next few rides -- even if they don't know it yet
).
Anyway, I presume you all (on this thread) just want to see pics, so I'm happy to oblige. Plan to put a few more that look more "real to life" as any other people consider their builds, but this is a 2012 swap from a 2 door that I'm super happy with. Initial pics here:

Jeep #10 in 25yrs. This one tests my level of patience! Ordered fully loaded 2012 unlimited white rubicon back in september 2011. Trading my 2010 Sahara. Recieved it on the 8th of Jan 2012. Only problem was that it was missing two doors! Wtf! The order got screwed up and some how a 2 door fully loaded White Rubicon was sitting at the dealer with my name on it! I thought this was a bad joke that my salesguy was trying to pull on me...I have been buying my jeeps from him since 1990 or so...well, this was no joke...there was a mistake and after a couple of swear words that I did not even think I knew, they had to re-order my jeep! We all know life is short and do not sweat the small things...but the wait is making my hair fall out! 
Just got confirmation that my jeep will be built on the 29th of march 2012. From there, it usually takes 10 to 14 days to arrive here in Qc Canada. Shoot, the wait is killing me! I went through the whole friggen winter with my Sahara needing new tires, wipers, oil change, burnt fogs...plus, my trade-in price was based on 42,000km and I now have 52k...this will be an interesting discussion when I finaly get to close the paper work!!
Grrrr....patience buddy...patience...only 8 months of waiting...
Unlimited Rubicon 2012
White, softtop only
6 speed 4.10
Auto Climate control
Tan Leather package with heated seats, mirrors
Side air
Tow and antisway
Nav
Steering wheel gadgets (radio cntrl...)
Block heater
Remote starter and touch alarm
1 in wheel spacers
Dick Cepek black torque 17 mags with wheel locks
This is my everyday ride...so stock she will stay...

Patience is not my strong suit. I ordered at the end of January (2dr Rubi). Went by the dealership last week and they said it shipped on the 3rd and would be there by the end of the week. Thursday rolls around so I call them to ask if I should be waiting at the dealership on Saturday. They inform me new arrival date of 26 March. So now I'm sitting on my thumbs trying to figure out when it is going to come in.
Now I am seeing indiviuals here that have ordered after I did of the same type further away from the assembly plant so I'm just puzzled on what the issue is. I'm sure it is some type of shipping issues. I just can't fathom how I can go to UPS and ship a package for $5 and track the entire shipment but Chrysler can't do the same for its customers for $25,000+ vehicles. Off the soap box.
