    Ordered '05 Renegade

    I'm mostly antsy because my current vehicle's--the one I'l trading in--inspection is up at the end of this month. I'd hate to get it inspected if I'm only going to have it a few more weeks.

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    Done? Guess what? I had some downtime today at work and I decided to call Chrysler to get a progress report (I know, I just called yesterday, but I'm anxious, and its a toll-free number, so what the hey?). They said the Jeep is in the KZ phase, which is completed, and awaiting shipment...

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    That's good news. My order went in a week after yours, so mine should be in a week after. Keep me posted.

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    When I got my new '00 Cherokee in December of '99, I was out on the trail by March of '00 (here is a pic from that day). But I'm older now, and offroading isn't the driving force behind me getting a Jeep these days (but that's not to say I still won't do it on occasion).

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    I sure am. I try not to think about it, but I can't stop. My uncle said if he wasn't retired, he'd be able to check on the progress and send me pics. (He's going to call he old contacts and get me a more detailed progress report, however.)

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    My uncle, a retired Chrysler manager, just told me that Libertys and Wranglers have their frames assembed and painted in one factory in Toledo, then taken to another on the other side of town to be trimmed and finished. The time between factories can vary from a few days to up to 2 weeks. I...

    Plural Nonsence

    You are mistaken: the store's name is spelled Penney, not Penny. In this case, Penney is the last name of the founder, James Cash Penney, and does not refer to the coin (penny). So the store's name is JC Penney, and the plural form is "JC Penneys." But we digress...

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    F As of Jaunary 13, my order is in the "F" stage (painting). The customer service rep said that when its in that phase, it takes 2-3 weeks to complete. I hope she's mistaken. I heard once a Jeep starts to be built, it only takes 3 days from start to end. Maybe she meant it'll take 2-3 weeks...

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    Yes, its very hard. I can't stop thinking about it. But at least its not a CRD order...I hear those won't start production until February.

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    D1 I just called DC, and my order is in the D1 stage. They guy said to call next week for a better estimation of when it'll be done and delivered.

    Plural Nonsence

    Liberties is the proper spelling, but I bet MS Word is unaware that in this case, Liberty is referring to a proper name, in which case you'd simply add an 's' to pluralize it. As in the sentence, "There are two JC Penneys within 10 miles of each other." You wouldn't spell it "JC Penneies."...

    Plural Nonsence

    Grammar and proper punctuation is one of my pet peeves (I know, that's strange). I was wondering ... What is the proper plural version of "Liberty?" Libertys? Liberties? I know for sure its not “Liberty’s” since we’re not referring to the possessive form. Liberties is the proper version...

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    VON Number Assigned ... The dealer told me today that my '05 Renegade order was assigned both a VON and VIN number as of today (January 10), so things are progressing. I called DC, and they said the vehicle would be ready the 18th. After I hung up, I wondered if he ment the vehicle would be...

    CRDs built in the same place?

    Wow, Europe. I'm sure they have a warehouse full of pre-made here in the States, but I'd hate to be the one who ordered a CRD just when they ran-out and had to get more shipped.

    CRDs built in the same place?

    Are the CRDs built in the same factory as the other Liberties, or are they different enough to have a separate facility? Are Liberties built in Detroit, Toledo, or both?

    Tail light guards Where'd you get the tail light guards? Were they from the factory? If not, where from? Were they easy to install?

    Check out my 05 KJ Renegade!

    I'm jealous... Very nice. I'm jealous: I ordered an '05 Rengade on Dec. 31. I hope to get it this month sometime. I'd like to see some of your pics here: http://www.ratemyjeep.com There aren't nearly enought Liberties there...

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    I'm no hero, so there's no additional rebate for me. But actually, I'm getting an employee price (EP) on my purchase due to a relative of mine being a retired Chrysler manager in Detroit, so my price is pretty much set in stone (there's a special "EP" price on the invoice...that's what I get).

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    Another $500 ... The cash allowance went from $1000 (when I ordered it) to $1500 this month. The dealer said I'd get any better incentives that may come down the pike. So, there's another $500 savings. Guess there's some benefit to waiting...
