I couldn't put it off any longer, and called Chrysler tonight. It was my third call since we ordered. As before, they couldn't get any information with the vin number at first. Finally the guy was able to tell me it's status was "gateline" with an estimated ship date of 11/8! I was trying to stop my head from reeling, along with looking through my papers for more info on what "gateline" is. I finally found my list of build status codes and asked him if we were in D1 status (gateline, scheduled to be built). He seemed surprised that I knew the code and said something like, "You must be looking at the same thing I'm looking at". If I had his access, why would I call?
Anyway, from his info, our Jeep isn't built yet (today is Thursday), but could be shipped as early as Monday! Do they work weekends in Toledo?? I've been checking the "find your sticker" site every day, but our vin number doesn't pull anything up yet.
He did say a couple times that the ship date has a 30 day leeway, and that the dealer could get the Jeep as late as December 8, but that's still almost a month earlier than we thought, after the last call to Chrysler. I guess I'll call next week.

We're gonna make it-in a jeep"
