Current wait time for a soft top X, or Sahara
I've been noticing lately that some people are getting their JK orders within 4 weeks of ordering which blows me away... and makes me happy. I just placed an order for a soft top X and I am hoping to have a quick turnover.
I understand that ordering a Rubi, or a hard top or mygig is a whole 'nother animal, but I want to know what they wait times are these days for an X or Sahara with a soft top (4-door perferably). So if you ordered one since the new year.... post what wait time you had or currently have.
Thanks!

you might look around at dealer inventories and consider driving a bit or have the dealer do a swap so you don't have to wait.

Good idea, but there are two reasons why I won't pick one up off a lot:
1.) I want non-typically equipped options (ie side airbags, tow pkg)
2.) I am getting almost $2500 below MRSP by ordering. That wouldn't fly for a JK on the lot.

I ordered my Sahara (options detailed in sig lines) on 12/29, and it arrived on 2/21... less than 2 month wait. Out the door (tax, title, reg, etc.), and WITH a 7-year 75000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, I still paid less than MSRP... so don't think that no one wants to deal!

i waited 28 days. another forum member by the name of willyjp or something waited like 26 days. i think i may have seen someone else with an even shorter wait - 24 days or so. timing seems to be good for ordering.

Another advantage of ordering is it should not have been test driven. Test drives can be hard on a new engine.
I think the lead time for Wranglers in general is listed at 16-18 weeks. Figure that Rubis and various restrictions are driving that up and I would guess that you should expect your non-Rubi soft top in 8-12 weeks (or less). Remember, dealer allocation plays a big part also and I think there is a new restriction on 6 spds.

not wanting a test driven vehicle was a big part of the reason we decided to order....if i'm gonna get a new vehicle, i'll be the one breaking it in, not the randoms around town.

Most of the people getting orders in 4 weeks or so are ordering a 2dr, not an Unlimited. Unlimited's with no parts on restriction (hard top, Mygig, etc) are going through faster too.
