I am in no way trying to be naive about the situation. I know full well how long these take, and i know that the fact that i ordered a 4 door rubicon with dual tops isnt helping the expedience of this matter. When I originally ordered, my salesman said 3 months to delivery. I had heard 4 from others in the area, so I figured that would be reasonable. The rubicon that only took 6 weeks was also a 4 door hardtop, and was only sold a few days before i came in. So these factors make me hopeful, and a bit optimistic. I directly asked the dealer about allocation, and he said that he has no problem with allocation and that if the parts are available, that the schedule will get put through and not bumped to the next round. I suppose it doesnt matter much my opinion and how i feel in the meantime, because i cant much change how quick it will be. I've read a lot of posts on this forum, and I know how many people have waited 6+ months for theirs and were still feel that the wait was worth it. That being said, I can hope i'm not one of them, but even if i am, i know i'll be happy with my JK.

I wish they would deliver it that way. They are sending 2 drivers, one is driving my Jeep putting 800 mi on it so they can hand deliver it to the DMV here. But now my problem I have been asking for the last week is numbers. They can't seem to get the numbers together so I can pay them on a one time lease. They tell me they don't have the papers in their office for a one time lease sale. Does this seem strange or what? I have never had a hard time trying to give the dealership money. But I can't even get the dollar amount out of them, do you think they are going to change the price on me?
Thanks for the support!
Sound to me like the dealer never did change where the vehicle was supposed to be delivered. They actually never have to deal with the rail cars or anything. All we have to do as dealers to change the delivering dealer is enter their dealer code in the "ship to" portion of the order before it leaves the factory. DaimlerChrysler takes care of the rest. Once the vehicle leaves the factory it is in route to whoever was the delivering dealer listed on the order. So if they missed htat step then they would have to arrange to have the vheicle shipped by truck to your local dealer.

I would get a cheap ticket and fly myself to the Jeep. Not sure I want some kid breaking in my jeep on the freeway. The first 800 miles are the most important ones. Not to mention 16 hours of crumbs, spilled soda etc.
It would make a nice road trip for you anyway.

IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE!
I walked down to the dealership and there it was, sitting on their front lot. My salesman isn't here today, so I asked them to make sure nobody test drives it. They haven't detailed it yet or anything; I'm going to ask them to remove all the fender decals and I'll replace those with the simple "Jeep" logo text. I guess I get to take it home tomorrow -- 35-36 days since I ordered it.

Ordered my 2 door rubicon on 2-2-07. Dealer said I could pick it up on 4-3-07. They estimated two months when I originally placed the order and they were quite close. Now I will keep myself awake at night thinking about the jeep. I am very anxious.
