I ordered on 9/29 dealer screwed up order so had to do a reorder on 10/4.
Ordered a Rubicon. Ordered every option except smokers group, steel bumper, upgrade rims, painted fenders, painted hard top& head liner.
I have stuff piling up in my garage waiting on my gator to show up.
Looking at doing a custom fabricated bed rack since I dont like any of the racks out there.

My build will be filmed once it comes out of paint tile the end.
it will be awesome to see the video of your build! How is it that you can have that done? If you could get some generic video of the pre- paint process to add to it, we could have an idea of the whole process!

How did you confirm your build date?
If you have a build date of 10/22 you are a lucky guy or gal cause this is the first day of production of gator and you will most likely get one of the first ones that rolls down the line.
Mine is also scheduled for 10/22. My build will be filmed once it comes out of paint tile the end. If I can figure out how to post the video here I may do that at some point if there is any interest here of people wanting to see the production.
I'm getting excited! Hopefully I can have my gator JT by Halloween or the 1st part of Nov.:please:

Would love to see a video of the paint!

Ordered mine on the 23rd of september checking tomorrow to see if I have an early build date as well.

I have close family that work in a upper position at FCA & have credentials to get in any plant as well credentials to film inside the plant. They will walk my whole build thru the plant.
It's not definitive if I will get video of the painting process. From what I gather the body shell is painted & assembled in one of the 2 buildings and then brought to the main plant for assembly. If the paint process is done on night shift then they will not be there for that part of the process. The body will be set aside for a day shift build while they are there.
If I wanted to fly back to toledo, I could also walk my gator build thru the plant with them, but I dont want to spend that kind of money just to fly back there for a day. I'll be happy just to see it being built on a video.
I used to work in the Ram assembly plant so the process is not that exciting to me.

After it's built can you drive it home, or do they insist on shipping it?
