My update from JC today pushed my delivery date back to 10/22-11/1 from the original 10/14-10/18. Not surprising but still a total bummer.

Same here, mine has been bouncing around from 10/14 to 10/18 and now 10/22. I think it really just varies.

For those who got 37s put on by Gupton did they throw in a tazer or should i prebuy and tell them not to set the speedo for me?

Even a daycab can make that drive in a day. With how many Jeeps Gupton sells you would think they would get entire semis directly from the factory without needing to stop at multiple other CDJR's along the way.

They get exactly this. But 'shipped' doesn't always mean actually left the factory complex and it certainly doesn't necessarily mean processed and prepped by Gupton.

I've run into a total brick wall even trying to get them to do the Mopar speedo calibration despite sending them a PDF of the instructions. I don't really blame them but I'd be shocked if they were installing 37s and calibrating via aftermarket options for other customers.

Ok I guess I will keep perusing the classifieds then lol

So Jeep chat tells me still that mine shipped on 10/8, but my ETA window has bumped back to 10/21 - 11/5 from what they originally told me of 10/14 - 10/26.

I am not sure what “shipped” means for Jeep, but it doesn’t seem to mean that the truck is actually on the road headed to Gupton. Maybe it means it is on a trailer that they are waiting to fill completely or allotted a spot on a trailer.

I am on a few car hauler related groups on FB....they don't pre-load trailers as most car haulers are stinger setups where the trailer is semi permanently attached to the tractor.

After browsing the chatter on the Fb pages it seems like the #1 complaint about Nitro Creek is the long wait times compared to other Chrylser plants such as Ontario and Belvidere.

I got switched from 10/22 to 10/21 ETA this morning when I checked with JC.

Per Matt they do the mopar mvp. Custom calibration but it's a 150 option so I will use that 150 towards a tazer

If I ask Gupton to keep my Mojave 33" MT and get some 35" installed by them, is there a credit for the 33's? I was originally going to drive the stock 33's down to half-ish tread, and then upgrade to 35's. But if it makes more financial sense to do it now, then take my money.

No I asked Matt about this and the suspension parts. He says they cant sell used parts....even if it only rolled from the truck to the shop.

I was going to guess there is no delete option since it would be a delete at the factory but the car needs wheels to get to the dealer. Dealer would just be overwhelmed with wheels. A lot of people on the forum would be interested in the wheels, including me.

What is the main purpose of new order guides every month or so during the model year? I know once or twice a color gets swapped out, but other then that what is the main reason? Is it mostly for price increases? Package changes? I’m delaying my MY22 order hoping for a new color perhaps, but don’t want to miss the boat again and experience an unwanted price increase or discount decrease from gupton or something.

I asked Daniel the same question, and he said they don’t do any sort of credit, and that they have piles and piles of take-offs so take offs really aren’t any use to them. I plan on taking my Mojave take-offs home with me in the bed, and selling to someone on here. Just waiting on my truck to ship!

I think the reality is that this isn't a very large dealer and they are pushing big volumes from these forums with very few people.

Go to the Gupton website and look at the staff bios. Its a startlingly small group of people.

You are better off finding a discount tire nearby and stopping off there and having them put the old wheels and tires in the back. Then sell them on craigslist when you get home.

Man, I will take some Rubicon take offs to put on my Sport that I am picking up if they would allow it. I don’t need them to mount them, just let me take them off of their hands.
