Well, after putting in an order in early October and then hearing nothing for 5 months I finally pulled the trigger on one already built. Got it for $3k over MSRP which wasn't quite as good as the deal I got back in October, but this one actually exists. Got 100% like I had ordered it and the dealer put tint on the front windows and put their own spray-in bed liner too. So all in all, pretty happy. Picking up next Friday as I have to go down to Texas (from Delaware) to get it, but my friends convinced me to do it as an excuse to all fly down and have a road trip back.

Shout out to @photoneffect (lolz) for the Raptor Finder tool which I used to find it. But for reals thanks to the peeps on here that posted their situations and info they had to help me cobble together an understanding of this whole process. Not sure I've ever seen a more dysfunctional product roll out in my life, but you guys helped keep me sane!

Will post some pics once I get there as well as any fun road trip pics (e.g. - World's Largest Patio Chair).

Good for you! What are the specs?
I am in the same boat, but now have a 5/20 build date. Every other day I look at inventory, bit cant locate my EXACT wants. So the wait continues!

Wow I didn't realize they were giving build dates that far out. I never got a VIN or a build date. For all I know my dealer is living in a van down by the river freebasing high fructose corn syrup paid for by my deposit.

Specs for mine are Oxford White SCREW, 802A, Tech, Moonroof, Beadlocks, Tailgate Step, Heated Steering, Heated Seats

I made a mistake. Build date is 3/20 (not 5/20).
Deliver between 4/7-4/13
I'm not holding my breath. Enjoy the road trip brother!

Congrats! If your road trip takes you on I-20 east out of Texas let me know if you want to meet up for a pit stop.

Great tool you put together!
