Any idea how long it is taking to get a VIN and go D1 lately? I put my order in on 11-2 and VOTS still says invalid log in. Nothing on MOTS yet either. Most of you have waited much much longer so I've got nothing to complain about. Just excited like rest of you and snow is already flying here so I'm thinking about it even more.

Where did you get your service extension? It is a service extension right and not a warranty?
What I can't figure is that the Lifetime is available in Canada but not the states...
Looks like mine made it in. I will make the trip to ohio from Chicago to pick it up. I should have a gas mileage estimate pretty soon. Pretty exciting to see estimates above 30 mpg. That's for your help willx, and other on the site.
Train Departure 11/08/2013 12:02 PM EST On Railcar - Beaver Falls, PA
Oh emm geee.... My truck is practically right down the street from me.... Torture.
Its a shame you can't talk them into just unloading it in Beaver Falls and leaving it there for you. Excursion could talk you through the unwrapping portion.
My dealer just called today at lunch and said my SFU will be in by late Tuesday evening.
Estimated Delivery 11/8/2013
But either way is closer home than being stuck on the yard !!!
Just inform him that I do not want anybody to test drive and do anything Stu.... Like have mechanics drive around for lunches or coffee.
Also told him not to install the plate bracket up front or clean my Unicorn with anykind of solutions, just plain water and soap or regular wash due we will install 3M Front End Wrap:thumbsup:
Hmmm, here's what my dealer said when I asked if they could call me before arrival so I could watch it be unloaded and then go through my (JeepGarage provided) checklist...
"We are excited about the arrival of your new Jeep Grand Cherokee! We really do not know exactly the day it arrives, but we will call you right away, for you to inspect and test drive it. Unfortunately, for security purposes, not even we have access to the rail yards any longer. We have to wait until the truck arrives."
Funny, with help of Willx and Milous we pretty much know exactly where our SFUs are but the dealer can't find out what day it is being delivered? I would think a simple call to the local truck company could tell them...
Nothing that has stuck yet. Big storm coming next week tho I hear. At work today one of the girls on one of my teams said I'm her hero for riding to work in freezing cold and rain instead if wussing out and renting a car...
Happy to report that mine showed up today at dealer, as predicted! Can't get over there until first thing tomorrow morning, dagnabit, but will report as soon as I am able.
So mines sitting in a yard a hour or so away. Yet my delivery isn't until Tuesday! I want to go find it and at least look at it (maybe persuade someone to take it home).
Got a call from my dealer *** MY SFU IS IN *** !!!!
The dealer waited for me to come over before touching anything on it. She is a beauty. Still a virgin - covered with road dust and plastics. They let me in to the restricted service area and allowed me to take some initial snaps, smell the sweet interior scent (the dealer said he never had such scent in a jeep), feel the leather without any chemicals and oils. An exhilarating experience. Delivery is tomorrow after PDI and my acceptance inspection. I'll have additional pics and notes tomorrow.

so does anyone know if the truck companies deliver to dealers on the weekends. Mines been sitting at the rail yard in Jessup MD (30 min from me) for a few days now and its driving me crazy. If not delivered by Monday I'll have to rent a car. Any insight is appreciated.
I have the same question. I've also been stuck in the same yard waiting for a truck to Koons Jeep. It looks like there are several other cars in the same situation including chivvary who just arrived there.
Guys, Chevy was good enough to start a Diesel Owners Review. Anyone that has taken delivery should go write their impressions after driving for a few days.
Dealer called this evening to let me know they 'pulled some favors' and got my jeep in from the rail yard a couple days early! Will be ready for pickup tomorrow!!
Can't believe this thing might actually exist after almost 2 years of waiting!

Congratulations, Dome! Remember that PM in August where I said something about delivery around Halloween or Veteran's Day? I guess I shouldn't have joked about those dates.

Thanks for the info. I finally stumbled across the no sunroof delete and the dealer finally contacted me and said 7 years which to me is a good idea.
Seems no one can tell me about the Pacific Blue color actually being available or not. I think that is my only question. I have done the cost comparison and the difference is about $4400 between the Limited and going to the Overland. Oh and headlight bucket is the term for the entire headlight assembly. I did see that the LED ring is on the headlight bucket on the LUXII package.
Thanks
Am I still in Vis Java Yard? It says I departed several days ago but it looks like I didn't go anywhere.
Are we going to have a booby prize for the one that gets theirs the latest?

You're not alone. There are still a few of us August orders that can't seem to break free of the Detroit tractor beam. It's just a series of lemony snicket's holding our SFUs up. We will see them eventually.
WOW. Took delivery of my SFU last night. I have an excellent relationship with the dealer and per my request did not want any "delivery" procedure. Just give me the keys and let me go. Her comment to her staff was "the customer will know more about this car than we do right now". Lol
Granite is beautiful. None of the finish concerns I have heard about from others. The summit brown interior is also a perfect complement and is gorgeous.
All you guys still waiting to get your units, hang tight! It is really really well worth the wait.
Another round of applause to all the insiders on this forum especially Willx, Milous, and Chevy. Without your support here I would have lost interest and quite possibly ended up with a different vehicle. You guys are a credit to your industry. The craftsmanship and build quality I have seen so far on the vehicle is as good or better than anything else I have ever owned, and the incredible design, very rich appointments and the awesome mechanical prowess all add up to a truly epic package. Thank you.
