Update: My Jeeps birthday is today but shipping for the factory is between the 6th and 20th of Feb so still waiting.

I know you're excited!

I know you're excited!

We order on the 13th of Jan 2020 and as of today, it is set in Kansas City 108 miles away waiting on a full truck heading our way. It's scheduled to be delivered to the dealer between now and 17 February. I have already asked if I could drive the 108 miles and pick it up and was told no.

Love our Wrangler! Looking back, we should have gotten it with a little more on it. It didn't even have running boards. They were easy to install though. We got one of the first 2018 JLs the dealer got it.

We put a Rock Hard tow base plate and bumper on it. I'll post a pic when it's out in the sun.

That sucks. Policies like that can really irritate a sane person.

Just to close it out -- We order on 13 Jan 2020 and we drove it off the dealers' lot on 11 Feb 2020 so just short of 30 days.
