or, ATM "machine", PIN "number".

On the lower right of the door sticker is a data line labeled "MDH". I believe it stands for "Month Day Hour".
Mine says 012410.
That number on mine agrees with the build date on my build sheet; January 24, 2008.

Thanks for sharing. I did not know this.

I have to say, that info is only my gut feeling. I am just putting together the evidence and deducing an awful lot.

Well, I looked at my numbering and it is the correct date that matches up to my window sticker and the hour appears to be 13. Looks like good logic to me. An after lunch build? I don't know if that would be a good thing or bad?

Thanks for the additional evidence.

Default vin number

The tenth digit of a VIN tells you the year model. The VIN does not specifically tell you when it was manufactured just the year of the model.

OK, so I read this thread and looked at the sticker on my 2007 which says 101407 so I gather it was off the production line at 7am on October 14th. I then told my buddy across the street who has a 2010 Unlimited and his sticker says 101423?!? Is that too weird a coincidence that both our Jeeps were built on the exact same day - October 14th only 3 years apart or am I misinterpreting those digits?
