Who's put an order in this month? Add your order stats and carry it forward if you can. I have tried to watch others build dates but they are spread out over too many threads. If I added an extra step or missed one, feel free to correct me.

Deep Cherry Red JKU: Ordered: 12/06 VIN: 12/16 D1: ??/? Shippped: ??/?? Delivered: ??/??

I don't have any other information than this. Dealership is useless. Got VIN from Jeep customer service.

I still haven't gotten any of the 3 emails yet and nothing is showing up on VOTS for me.

Got an email from Jeep customer service saying my JKUS is in D1 status though!

Wow, yours is moving pretty fast. Guess they must be running Saharas down the assembly line right now.

I'm of course getting conflicting updates when I call Jeep directly or check VOTS on the Jeep website. According to VOTS, my Rubicon is still in production and the Sahara is marked down as having been shipped. But, when I call Jeep directly they confirm that the Sahara shipped, but tell me that the Rubicon already shipped and arrived to NJ on 12/7! which is impossible. So the tracking is all over the place. The one thing that I do know is that prior to all this, I had been calling Jeep once every week for an update. Up until this week I never even got a VIN#, then on Sun. my sales guy sent me an email that the Jeeps were built and shipped. So in the span of 3-4 days they were both built and put on transport. :eek:

Contacting dealer today for update (i misplaced my VON sheet) so I can use Jeep phone number and VOTS. First time Jeeper, very excited (and understandably impatient) after driving them for years in Hawaii to have my very own!

ZAG discount in my area is quite steep under invoice, and was the key to finally getting me in to purchase!

What is your scheduled production date? I ordered 7 days after you and have nothing but a von right now no email yet. My order is identical to yours other than color and no floor mats. Wondering if I missed a cut off for a sport production run or if color makes a difference.

We ordered a crush JK Unlimited Dec. 5, options below. Got the VOTS and VIN Dec. 20. Called Jeep for an update today Dec. 22 (877-426-5337), and agent said the car was already scheduled to ship Jan. 4.

This info wasn't posted on VOTS yet, but she said it typically lags several days. She also said that they have better access to current info than the Jeep DealerDirect site, and said I should call anytime. She was very thorough and pleasant.

She also mentioned that there could always be delays, but the ship dates were generally reliable.

Related to that, Jeep's keeping the JK line open over the holidays, which is unusual but smart, given the high demand. She said that Jeep had installed a couple of extra inspection procedures during this period of time. I asked her if that's because the guy who usually mops the lunchroom will be installing my wiring harness so he can make overtime, and she said, "Uh, maybe." Oh my.

Anyway, fingers crossed. The salesman originally told me to expect delivery at the end of February!

No doubt there will be more "EggNog" breaks during the holidays...check this link on the engine factory workers:

Wow, that's great news! Except the part about your car being loaded on the rail car on SUNDAY, on HOLIDAY, expecially NEW YEAR'S DAY! Congrats! But if I were you, I'd look it over real good when it gets to the dealership! Great news!:hide:

Ordered my JKU Sahara on 12/3. Never got a Vin from my dealer until yesterday. It had a estimated shipping date of 12/19 which then turned into a 12/21 I believe. I called IAMJEEP and they said it has been released to the dealer. I asked if that meant it had shipped and didn't really get a firm response. Does it typically take a couple of days to get on the rails/truck or is it a pretty quick thing?

Mine wasn't ordered this month, but on 11/28/11. It was built last Wednesday, 12/14/11, and is supposed to arrive on 1/2/12 or thereabouts. This year due to the high demand, the factory will be running a shift during the usual holiday closure between Christmas and New Year's. Interesting. They are at near capacity. Good to see any US manufacturer with such problems!

For those of your receiving emails, where do you submit your email for updates? I went through the jeep.com/VOTS site and I saw the subscribe option at the bottom but when I click on it it just give me an option to opt in/out there is no place for me to provide an email.

I gave my email to my dealer and just started receiving them automatically.

I ordered an Orange Crush Rubicon, fully loaded on Saturday Dec. 10th. I sent an e-mail to my dealer Sunday night Dec. 11th to make sure the 4:10 gearing was chosen since my husband was sure the 3:73 was mentioned. I received a confirmation that my order was placed Monday Dec. 12th with the 4:10 gearing from my Dealer.

I haven't heard anything since then. One mistake I made was letting my husband give his e-mail and I didn't use mine. He's horrible about forwarding things and if he doesn't recognize the sender he automatically deletes them. I was so caught up in the excitement of ordering I just blew that one. I keep bugging him and he says he's gotten no e-mails, I think he's a liar. Lol.

My birthday is January 18th so my hope is that it will arrive around then, until then I will harass my husband and possibly hack into his email account and stalk carrier rigs on the highway that have Jeeps on them :whistling:

My order on VOTS is at frame which is where it was at 8 O'clock last night, I know the frames on the Jeeps are strong but 13 hrs :D

I guess Vots does lag, the phone call has it sitting in a rail yard waiting for its ride north.
