Just for grins, I went by my dealer today and he told me if I would "change my order" to the soft top unlimited, he could get it very quick . The factory Rep. is telling him , the Only Hold UP is the hardtop shortage. That is consistant with everything I've read on this great forum. I told him No Thanx , we'll just wait.
Ground Hog Day is looking very realistic as the delivery date.

Just stop calling. I was pretty frusterated and decided that when it got here, it would be here. All the calls and stuff aren't going to change anything but my blood pressure anyway.
I have gone backwards in status too and I was pissed too, but nothing I can do.
Good luck!

That was almost word for word what my salesperson told me yesterday in an email. She said that if I would switch to just a soft top, they would get it picked up....like you, coming from their district rep. I could then of course get the hard top later when they were available if I still wanted it.

I told her I would IF he could also guarantee that I could buy it later for the dual top price of ordering it from the factory, and that I wanted that in writing...have not heard from her since, so I guess we aren't switching my order.

The 2 places I had found other Rubicons for her to try to trade for fell through...both claimed to be sold. So for kicks and giggles, I put in an online quote request for the Rubicons. One came back telling me it had been sold, but the other place has not said it was sold, and has asked some additional questions, leading me to think that maybe it wasn't sold, and they just didn't want to trade. So we'll see what ends up happening on that front yet...I am not opposed to driving 650 miles to buy it from them....but the price will have to at least be somewhat comparable to the deal I was getting to make it worth traveling that far to deal.

I originally ordered dual tops but changed to soft top only about 2 weeks ago. I was partially gambling that I could get it sooner, but I also wanted to switch to the 2 piece hardtop from Best Top so I'm not losing anything by removing it from the order.

After changing my order nothing happened. Monday I went to BX, then back to BG Tuesday or Wednesday. Removing the hard top option from my order may have an impact later but right now I don't know that it matters. One of the issues is that it's a Rubicon. If you have a Rubicon on order removing the hard top probably isn't going to help you.

Hey all great site. I just learned my 11/27 order (unlimited X, 4X4, hardtop) is in D status. What is the approximate wait time from D until delivery? Does anyone know when and for how long the factory will be closed for the up coming holidays?

Thanks,
G

Yes I did. Did you order from them also? If so when, and have you got it.

Do you know anything about how long the factory is going to be closed for the holidays?
