Default Production Delays

Found a good article in the toledoblade that sheds some light on the on production issue.

I ordered a 2 dr rubi on 9/20 and im wondering if the 2 drs units are in a much production trouble as the 4 drs ones?

Article link is as follows: http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll...SS02/709250350

PS
I may have found a way to dramatically shorten the wait. Will explain later if it works....
Order 9/20
D - 9/28
F-9/28
I-10/2
KZ-10/2
KZM-10/4
Shipped! 10/2 WOW! It worked...the dealer didnt believe it

Prices start at $20,990 for the base two-wheel-drive Sport model and at $25,175 for the two-wheel-drive Limited version. Four-wheel-drive versions begin at $22,600 for the Sport and at $26,785 for the Limited.
im confused with their description of names.

Default Nice and Dry

The article is (for the most part) about the unlimited JK and the new liberty. The prices they are talking about are for the liberty....?

Humor:
did I mention that I am going to use my new rubi to keep my family wagon (03 EB Explorer 4X4) from getting stuck at our mountain place in NC. I was embarrassed when it completely stopped on our muddy slightly sloping drive (had to get a backhoe to get us out). This will not happen again! New rubi and winch will keep the family nice and dry and keep us from having to walk with our luggage the 1/4 mile drive to our cabin.
