It is in the VIN number.....it is coded I think......and I forgot what the code is

after more investigating I may be wrong, it just tells you the year not the BOD

Check the sticker on the driver's door jamb.

Wow oddly enough today is the day my Jeep was built. My Jeep actually still had the entire build sheet in the glove box when I took delivery - Build date of 7/24/07! Cool

It says on the sticker on the door, but if I remember correctly it only says the month/year. Mine is 9/07 and I bought it 9/29/07 and my inspection sticker is 9/11

I'll have to hunt down the paperwork to see where I got it from but mine was built on 1/8/08 and delivered on the 20th with my pickup on the 21st.

So I guess she's 6months old or so!

Look for a card like this in your glovebox:



This date corresponds with the 9-07 'Date of MFR' on my door sticker, so I presume it's the exact build date.
