Delay ordering for GATOR??????

[TIKIBROMAN]

My Rubi is in JB status also as of this morning (10/22). No build sheet showing on the tracker yet.

Same. I am in JB. I think that means bedliner is getting installed. JB is for additional optional equipment being installed.

Received my build order via the tracker yesterday. Checked with Jeep Chat today at 7:30 EST and was told my Gator was delivered to the dealer. However, the customer representative said their system was currently having glitches and should verify with the dealership tomorrow. I agreed, likely a glitch.

27 minutes later my dealer called, apologized for the hour, and said my Gladiator was just dropped off. He couldn't believe it and said the build team must be grade A. I'm going in tomorrow to take a look and sign the final papers. Once a Bullet bedliner and 33' KO2s are installed, I'll will pick it up.

If it helps, my order was:
Sport S
Max Tow
All options other than Adaptive Cruise and Smoker's group.
Black/Heritage tan
Fredericksburg, VA dealer

Absolutely stoked.

Forgot to mention, I ordered on 10/01 if that helps give you guys an idea of where you might be.

Anyone know transit to Colorado? Train to ___, then truck I assume. Sorry if train demarcation is listed somewhere already.

I dont think so my Rubicon is running tomorrow as far as I know.

We need pics of your Rubi as soon as possible

What fenders/roof did you get?

Trying to help the Mrs. conceptualize what it will look like with body colored fenders and roof with saddle leather interior. In my head it is outstanding!

not really. LOL I'd consider your's a late order. The stars must have aligned just right for you. (I ordered on 09/21). That said they seem to be moving along well for every body. Hopefully we'll all have ours before midmonth November.

I wonder if I place my order by Friday, could I get a delivery by Christmas

I admit, I did ask the salesman, "Are you sure you have the right truck?" on more than one occasion.

I'm glad to see a lot of gators moving through the process, cant wait to see pics.

wonder how many gators have been sold

I got black fenders. I like the original wrangler look back in the late 80's & 90's. Painted fenders were not available then I dont think. I also got a black top.
I'll know in the morning if mine is being built tomorrow. I'm kinda freaking out cause the person walking my build & filming it told me today that he has meetings all day tomorrow. . I really hope everything works out or I'm going to be annoyed & disappointed.
Hopefully it just hits paint tomorrow & final assembly Thursday.
I'm really stressing right now.

Good to meet you neighbor! I'll look for a Gator soft top Rubi on the road. I see you ordered from Tri-City. Travis, Craig, and Julius/Ash were all great to deal with, but my local dealer agreed to match the 6% off invoice so I stayed home. They then asked me not to tell anyone ....

No need to stress - this is a good day, your Gator is getting built! Yes, it would be cool to have the video, but it will be better to have the Gator Gladiator in your driveway!

Your right! I hope it's all working out. I think he may be telling me that to surprise me as I have never know him to have meetings all day long. I guess I'll find out in the morning.
I dont care as much about the video as i do having someone personally walk the vehicle down the line. When this happens supervisors give the line people a heads up and they know they are being watched so they make sure nothing slides. Less things are overlooked and they spend more time on detail & final inspection.
I'm not going to think about it until the morning.
