Call the 1800 number listed in one of the threads on here and get the estimated ship date from Jeep. They can reference by simply giving your name or the order/VIN number if you have it. My Rubi was sent out on that exact est ship date even though it sat in D1 for quite a while. It was NOT earlier.... no matter how many times I called and begged nicely.

I would imagine being in Ohio helps with the transport. SHouldn't take to long to get her to the dealership. BTW, The dealer needs it for at least an afternoon to get it inspected, etc. Trust me, I knew exactly when it reached Birmingham,AL via Railcar and when it was loaded on a semi. I knew when the truck left the yard in Birmingham, and I knew when she arrived ( I drove by the dealer and saw her on the trailer).
Waiting sucks.... but it is worth it.

I called the 800 number (that’s how I got the D1 status) and they could not give me a estimated date. All they said is the standard 14-16 weeks

When did you order yours?

I ordered mine on February 2nd (2011 if anyone is reading this in five years).

For a long time I had a status of "Order ready to proceed on line" but had an estimated shipping date of Feb 24th.

At first I was calling a Chrysler number and they were very helpful and friendly. Then I discovered there is Jeep number and I called that. The first person I talked to on that line was not helpful at all. I had the same status of Order ready to proceed on line and she asked when I ordered. I told her Feb 2nd and she said it would take 12 to 16 weeks and I should call back mid-March. I told her that I had an estimated ship date of the 24th and she said yes, it still says that, that date will have to slip. That was on the 23rd, in the morning.

The next morning (24th) I called and got someone else who was really helpful. She said the status changed to "Trim shop" and that occurred on the 23rd. She suggested I call back on Monday or maybe Saturday because they are working Saturday's in the plant (I didn't think the customer service line was open on Saturday ).

Friday afternoon the guy over the was from me said "Just think Barry, right now there is some guy getting drunk in your Jeep." Later I called and the status was "Released from the plant" and that occurred on the 24th. I asked the lady if she knew how long it would take to get to the dealer. She suggested calling the dealer, he would be able to help better. I wasn't sure if the vehicle would have to go to a distribution center first or if it would just come US-23 from Toledo to Ann Arbor.

Tuesday (March 1st) I got a call from the dealer saying the vehicle arrived Monday night. They need to do the dealer prep and send it out to get the aftermarket seat heaters (Sport S doesn't have them as an option) but I should be able to pick it up on Thursday, Maybe Wednesday (today).

Mine is a Wrangler Unlimited with the Mango Tango paint and the six speed transmission. On Tuesday I checked the View your window sticker website and my sticker was finally up there.
(http://www.jeep.com/hostc/getWindowS...=your_vin_here )

Last night I looked at the dealer's online inventory and my vehicle is listed there with the status of "In Transit".

Ironically, the picture they display with the dealer inventory is this:

which is more what yours will look like and your avatar is what mine will look like.
