What color did you want/order?
Rescue Green is being discontinued, and orders being taken for it through mid March, and then its run is done. So if you ordered Rescue Green, the dealer might honestly be being truthful in that "this" Jeep may not get picked up.
Any other color though, and production will run on 2007s for several more months....and while you may certainly wait for your Jeep, provided your dealer has allocation....it should get picked up.
Which MIGHT be more to the truth if you did not order Rescue Green....this dealer may know he is not likely to get allocation anytime soon, and thus wants to make a dealer trade to get yours (even though it would not be the exact one you want). He is able to make a sale (and thus likely to get an allocation slot for someone else down the road...or another customer who has a Jeep ordered), and you can get a Rubicon now....and he can make some $$$ too.

I ordered Jeep Green. We will see what he says today when he supposedly tries for the dealer trade. If he can't do that I am going to hold out awhile yet before letting him check around for another color. He did tell me he got 9 Jeep Wranglers in the other day and 8 of them were ordered ones. Not sure what that tells me. Just thought it was weird he wouldn't tell me the city or name of the dealership that has the one I want...maybe he was lying or maybe he didn't want me to contact them and do the sale with them. Not sure why else he wouldn't tell me.
If you really want to know, it might take you some time, but simply search for inventory in that state....starting around the larger cities, and you might be able to come across it in the online inventory.

Finally moving up to speed......
Well the line is finally moving up to speed. I went from D-1 on 2-18-07 to E-F-G on 2-20-07. I guess that means it will be here soon. Finally
Hope everyone will move this fast from now on. Chris

material restrictions?
Icalled today to find the status of my 2dr Rubicon that has been in BG status for sometime. I was told that there was a material restriction, and that i had to contact my dealer. I immediately called the dealer for my emergency, and he got right back to me stating that there was not actually a material restriction, that he found the code for my jeep that it is supposed to be picked up for build march 1st or after. He did ask that if i had any codes to let him know. Of course the factory doesn't tell me much, but i figure something has to be up if they say there is a restriction. Has anyone run into this before, and what was the outcome?

I have; I'm afraid you won't like it. My Jeep bounced back and forth between BG and BX for 4 months!!!! It's been in D for about 2 weeks now. I long ago gave up trying to find anything out from the dealer, they don't know anything more than I do.

You know that if you have the railcar number (your delaer has this) you can go out the the Union Pacific RR web site and enter the railcar number and it'll tell you when it's due wherever!

You could try, but from what I've been reading on this and other fourms, they are increasingly asking callers to check with their dealers! If your dealer is really interested in making a sale, they should be very willing to help you. My dealer e-mails me every couple of days with the latest status! Although I probably won't hear anything more from him since it's due in the local rail yard the latter part of next week!
