I saw a black LE on my way into work today. First Gladiator I've seen in the wild with the top removed. Looked good, but that guy should have the doors off too IMO.
Hah! I used to wonder why I'd see a Jeep with the top on, but doors off ... top off, but doors on ... front doors off, but back doors on ... etc. I think I ran my JLU in every possible configuration this summer just based on a mix of weather, time needed to transition, passenger preference, and cargo to be carried. My favorite configuration is rear doors on, but everything else off.

I'm looking forward to experimenting with a HYDRO BLUE Gladiator (very soon :fingerscrossed:)

I have a 2dr, I've only had driver's side top off, or both sides of the front off.

My plan too except I'm going with the tan leather so I don't have the red stitching on the steering wheel, shifters, center console, etc.
If I'm not mistaken, if you go with the Tan leather, the dash color changes to Gray also.

So a lot of my friends know I'm ordering the Hydro Blue Gladiator and they keep asking me where it is. It's bad enough that I have to wait for Jeep to release and let us order but getting all the questions from my friends is making this wait even more miserable!!!
You should feel what its like being known as the Jeep king and having dozens of friends in the Offroad industry thinking you were someone special that got to order a "Launch" edition 24 hours before anyone else, then bragging about it, and then having to answer the "wheres your Gladiator?" question daily (since april 3rd)...smh...I guess im short bus special....

They are selling like hotcakes in Maryville MO...Tri State unloaded not one, but 2 Gladiator Sport S from the transport earlier today. One White, one Firecracker red (both with identical stickers). The white one was already sold when they posted their daily "Come on down & put this fine vehicle in YOUR driveway" video, featuring the Firecracker Red one. My son & I went for a bicycle ride after dinner tonight, and *NEITHER* truck was on the lot!

I only wanted to see what the Heritage Tan seats looked like, honest!

Hoping tomorrow is the day for Hydro Blue orders...

Everybody say a little prayer tonight......
Arg! Still agonizing over whether to order Side Steps -- if so, which ones? Aftermarket -vs- Jeep: MRK ("SIDE STEPS"), MRU ("MOPAR BLACK TUBULAR STEPS"), MRT ("MOPAR CHROME TUBULAR SIDE STEPS")

The Heritage Tan seats are nice, they have black side accents, unlike the Tan leather which is just that, ALL TAN.

None of the the Jeep’s side steps are that useful for off road driving. So make that your first decision point. IMO, its best to order without the side steps. You can get Mopar steps from a number of retailers if you choose to go that route and they are easy to install.

If you’re going to take this off road, look at the 3rd party solutions. They are almost always better.

What do you think of these (leatherseats.com)? I'd want to see samples in the actual Hydro Blue truck before I'd order...
I'm going with something like these.

Bad news guys...Just got off the phone with sales manager @ Tristate Jeep in Maryville, MO. As of 9:15am, Hydro Blue still not available for orders. :angry::angry::angry:

He did, however assure me that he does check, EVERY DAY, as part of his morning routine, and he would let me know AS SOON AS it becomes available.
