Not such a bad idea @lukem80. Just gotta hope it will last you 8 or more months while Jeep gets the parts lined up to build your truck. And the best part of it is that you make all of your profit from the sale of your trade and not the dealership. Well played!!!

My salesman is going to lay a golden egg out when I pull up in a $400 22 year old honda civic and ask him to evaluate it for trade on a $50,000 jeep

I can't go back on Jeep Chat. too much bullshit.

If people would just update their signature file with with they ordered and when it would work pretty good

I went on chat this morning and it took longer than usual for them to respond back to me. I got excited thinking that there was an update of info. I was wrong. Still the same. All parts received for build are here and that’s it

it was the same for me, minutes between responses

Email I received from Travis this AM

“Your Jeep is completely built & has been loaded on a rail car headed for Winston-Salem. It's expected to arrive there around the 13th. I expect your Jeep to arrive to us as early as the following week.”

Saw a Firecracker Sport model with manual trans. this morning. I was surprised at how short the shifter is in the new ones. It's like something you'd see in a car.

Hey @WXman was that a base Sport that you saw or was it a Sport S that you saw? A few days ago I spoke with a dealership that actually got in a red base Sport truck with an automatic transmission, which I think may be the first and only base Sport truck that anyone has ever seen, a very rare bird. Love to know what you sat in.

I ended up buying a $400 1997 Honda civic with 250,000 miles from my old neighbor as I wait for my Gladiator to be built. no A/C. only one window rolls down. Heat index of 103 today. Roll Tide!

You suffer for your art!

That is going to be like going to a breakfast diner and asking for extra egg for this dealership. Please post the face picture like
@Troutman asked for. Gotta love that picture. And man a great idea for getting rid of your ride and getting a piece of junk car to last you until you got your truck! Let’s just hope it last long enough and that you don’t have to spend thousands on it to keep it running.

I think it was an S model.

If it had manual roll up windows then it was a base Sport model. If it had power windows then it was a Sport S.

I’m in JB status today. The tracker sent me an email saying it found the build sheet, but when I go to the link it still says sorry no record found. I hope I’m not getting the bed liner forced like some others, but I’m not sure what else gets done at the body vendor, (soft bed cover)?

Ordered 5/13,
vin 5/20,
d status 5/22
D1 status 6/28
EST build day 7/1
Stayed there with no change according to jeep chat.
Check today7/8 JS status
Build sheet sent tonight 7/8.
Silver rubicon, spray in bed liner, black hard top/fenders. No bumper upgrades.
So progress. On the site, I read that JS is after JB, after waiting to get to this point does this mean I have the spray in bed liner, or am I just entering JB and waiting for the bed liner. I hope everyone gets their truck soon. I thank everyone for updates, and info. This is my first Jeep, first ordered vehicle, and first new vehicle ( got used vehicles in past. I hope I get to enjoy some Montana summer with it, but by reading may have to wait until next year for the top to come off

I had a nice 2016 Hyundai Genesis sedan I sold locally for about 2k more than trade in value. I figured 3 weeks ago I was about 3-5 weeks away from having a Gladiator lol so that’s why I sold it..... I’ll get a pic of this civic soon I don’t think it’s been vacuumed in 22 years. I can work on stuff and flip 2-3 cars a year worth under $10,000. Mostly cars my coworkers want to trade in but I’ll buy them instead. I’ve never ordered a car or bought a brand new car either so this process has been a good test of patience.

MontanaJoe, I'd say the vast majority of us would like to be in the build status you are! Can't wait to see MT Rubicon, especially since my build is not too much different than yours other than body color top/fenders.

 

[DenverGladiator]

Ordered 5/31.

Got notice from dealer today that my Sport S is in the rail yard in Denver. Transport company has a maximum of 10 days to deliver to dealer, however, he expects it in a few days. I'm hoping to pick up this weekend, however, everything moved quicker than I expected. Still need to unfreeze my credit so I can get my financing squared away.
