Default How to Determine Build Date to Day of Week

Sorry gang, can't find it.

Please educate me on how to determine my build date down to the day of the week. If it's on a sticker on the door frame, etc. I promise to drink more beer.

Thanks

If you look on the backside of the grille there is a sticker with a date. Some have said they found it when removing the grille. Luckily mine is visible from the drivers side wheel well so I didn't have to remove it. I'm not sure if it is actually the build date but others have said it is. I'll take a picture if the sticker hasn't fallen off or been damaged to show the placement and markings.

Added: If I'm not mistaken mine was June 13, 2008. Only Friday the 13th all year.

Bingo! Mine's in the same location. Thanks all!

(I do like HC's idea of drinking more beer and laying on the ground though!)

061415 June 14th 3pm 20007 That is Flag Day!! As a veteran this is a great day to have your Jeep born.

History Lesson: source- www memory.loc.gov/ammem/today/jun14.html

Since 1916, when President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation establishing a national Flag Day on June 14, Americans have commemorated the adoption of the Stars and Stripes by celebrating June 14 as Flag Day. Prior to 1916, many localities and a few states had been celebrating the day for years. Congressional legislation designating that date as the national Flag Day was signed into law by President Harry Truman in 1949; the legislation also called upon the president to issue a flag day proclamation every year.
