I think it stands for vehicle order tracking system or something of that nature. They'll send you some emails soon. It gets built quick once they start. Then shipping takes forever it seems like. Congrats on the jeep!

Congrats! I just picked up a 2015 Hard Rock Rubicon that was freshly delivered from the factory. It's awesome..and yes, 3.73 is standard with auto unless you upgrade. I didn't care because I'll regear to 5.13 later anyway when I put on 37s. For the 32's on it, the 3.73 do just fine.

You'll love some of the features of the Hard Rock edition...I'm loving mine.

The only thing I'm a bit iffy on is the new subwoofer location. I'm mixed on whether it's going to work out in the old storage bin, but on the plus side it's rated for all weather now.

Vehicle Order Tracking System. You can track the status of your order on jeep.com.

The hard rock is what replaced the Rubicon X, which is almost same as 10A. I believe they come with 4.10s regardless of trans unlike the normal Rubicon.

Edit. Guess I'm wrong on 4.10s. Must have been a 10A only thing due to slightly larger tires

Ask for the Mopar half doors instead of the full. You'll thank me later. (And just in case you end up hating them, you can always trade them with someone who has full doors and probably get some cash out of it too)

I also have my doubts about that thing......

Someone should come up with a heavy duty cage for that thing at the very least. I sometimes have to lug around my fire gear, axes, etc.

I also think that trying to arrange whatever I throw back there AROUND the sub woof so as not to cover the sound is going to get annoying.

It was not a 10A only thing.

I'm not entirely sold on the halfies...how are they with wind/road noise? Was thinking maybe for the warmer months I'd get the Aries Tubular Doors.

LOL, you know you bought a Jeep right?!? It's gonna have some cabin noise regardless. See below for satisfied half door owners. Plus you can search this forum and find quite a few people who have traded their full doors for half ones or wish they had the cash for it.

Actually, the auto system is down, no emails will ever come, here is a link hack. Copy, edit in wordpad, paste into URL (dont forget to change the "XX" to "tt") ;)


hXXps://www.jeep.com/vots/vehicle_status.html?firstName=&lastName=YOURLASTNAME&vin_last8=&orderno=YOURVON&fromLogin=true&lastdate=true

once you are tracking, i dont know about MAC, but on windows:

Hit F12 to open up the Developer Tools
Hit F5 to refresh
Scroll to VOTSServlet, Click
click on response, and see whats going on with your jeep.

Here is what you will see:



after pressing F12:

We're on the exact same page. I'd like to have a drawer or something for tool storage, etc, but now I'm worried the sound will be drowned out. I think there's a definite opportunity to relocate it. I hvaen't pulled it out yet to see how easy it would be to reroute the wiring, but I'm thinking a new Tuffy-like setup back there that will relocate it up would be perfect.

I saw on Jeep's website that the Hard Rock does not come with the 115v aux outlet. Is that true? www.jeep.com says it comes with the Rubicon. I find that surprising. What have they put there instead?

You mean the regular plug outlet on the front of the console? Mine has it.
