🤬 Still sitting in Jessup, MD waiting on a truck since 12/19. ETA was 1/2/23, now says TBT. 4 months and counting..............😧It's been 17 weeks since I ordered & counting. It shipped 12/7/22, off of the train & just has been sitting in Jessup, MD since 12/19 waiting for a truck. Jessup is less than a 1hr from the dealer!Delivery date still says 1/2/23.
Sarge, have you gotten yours yet?
I thought that when my status here went to "KZM - Shipped" that it was actually on a train, silly me.
Actually, it seems it should have stated "KZL - Released but not Shipped".
The Jeep Tracker only shows the status as "Shipped" with Delivery as TBD
Checked with the dealer and, two weeks after it was shipped, it is still sitting in Michigan.
Looks like QZSue's was shipped way before ours and is still waiting for delivery.

Mine has 'priority shipping' status, so it's on a train, heading to MT, where it will then have to wait for a truck to bring it to Jackson Hole. My dealer thinks I'll have it by the third or forth week of January, but not to plan on seeing it until the end of the month most likely (it's always hard to get vehicles delivered here in the winter, I've done it plenty of times with private shipping and sometimes had to meet the trucks further away and drive the car the rest of the way myself). In this case they said there's no way to just drive up to the rail yard and get it yourself, they've tried plenty of times, so I just have to wait.
I also repeatedly asked if they had any kind of 'factory delivery' option that I could fly back to Detroit to pick it up with my son and take a factory tour, but the question was repeatedly ignored by my 'Executive Referral Manager'. Really disappointing that a brand with such an active fan base has no such options. They're playing in a price range where they should be offering something like that. Pick your car up, take it on an off road course at the delivery site and receive training/demonstration on all the vehicle features (ie when to use various terrain modes, etc), then have it detailed while you take a factory tour (or just a training session on a demo car)? Come on, Jeep! I would think there would be plenty of takers for something like that... My guy couldn't even be bothered to address the question. Yeesh.

When mine hit TBD status it arrived in about 3-4 days.
I am one happy girl! GC has finally arrived at the dealer. I have to wait one more week, going to pick it up next Friday!
Fantastic!!!! 6 more sleeps..
Mine got delivered to the Dealer last night.
My wife and I drove over this afternoon and did a quick walk around, and, without any prep and a bit of snow on the roof, she's still looking mighty good!!
They will have her all spiffed up on Monday/Tuesday, and we go over the final paperwork and numbers.
Then it will be just waiting on the banks to shuffle the moneys around before I can take delivery.

Mine finally arrived after sitting in the rail yard for weeks. VIP 'Executive Referral Manager' high priority production and shipping only took four freaking months, and I'll be ordering another one in Midnight Sky (the color I was promised as 'one of the first off the line eleven months ago) when the Hurricane is available (with an eLSD - I did at least get that).
Overall it looks nicer in person than I expected, although I'd rather it wasn't the same color as my lemon (I couldn't get Baltic Gray either). I've added Lamin-X tint strips to the front orange reflectors and red lower rear reflectors (still visible at night) and the Canvasback cargo liners. Just finished a 2400 mile road trip, and so far it's an enormous improvement on my last one. I'll do a writeup on my impressions vs the '21 Overland when I have time.

The only thing I don't like is they're a PITA to clean - a special brush is going to be required to clean inside the smaller triangles to clean the brake dust and dirt off.I really like the wheels
I like the 'charcoal' color better than gloss black on everything but the black cars, but I think 'black wheels' are a bit played out (to each their own). These are just light enough to be different, and I think Jeep made a good choice with the color. They seem to be similar to my snow tire wheels, which are the 'luster/matte' finish wheels from the 80th anniversary WK2 (20"). I'll get photos of them side by side when I get them mounted soon.
Thank goodness. It took 4
months for my 2 row from order to delivery to dealer!!!!
Good point on the cleaning. But they "look" great! lol.

I got a brush from the Chemical guys, that works pretty well; however, it's not triangular.

I like the way they look better than my 20" WK2 wheels (my snow tire setup), but the WK2 wheels are WAY easier to clean. Vanity is never cheap or easy, I guess.
The only off-roading you're doing near the plant is navigating the pothole filled roads in the area. Looks like Jeep's proving grounds are over near Chelsea, so probably 1-1.5 hours away or so. Factory tour would definitely be interesting, but the reality is the factories aren't really set up to handle those real easily - GM did an open house thing a number of years back through their factories in Lansing, and it was definitely a fascinating process, but I was also kinda amazed that they let us that close, I'm guessing their liability folks were probably in a near panic that day over the idea.
