I've got a Granite Crystal Metallic on order right now. Why that color? I already have a red LJ. Otherwise red is my first choice. Billet silver was my second choice but is no longer available. I would have jumped at Ocean Blue Metallic, but it hasn't been made available for the Gladiator...
After a couple emails back and forth since Saturday, an order for a Rubicon was placed today. Have a VON. Super easy process. Daniel responded quickly. Now the wait...
Your thinking is the same as mine. If close enough, the black top and cap make sense. If not, it can look more like an "add on" than with a color match top. The pictures of black/black look good to me.
I am working on a factory order for a Gladiator and will also be getting an RSI Smartcap. For those with black hardtops, does the RSI cap seem to match pretty well? It's hard to tell from pictures. I am back and forth on ordering the black or color match top.
I just left a local dealer about an hour ago who told me Gupton's deal is impossible. I wanted to give the local guy a shot with a truck built exactly how I want, but for the $4,000+ difference of his "best deal" I will buy a one way flight to Nashville for less than $200. I'm about to email...
I'm daily driving an 05 LJ with a 4.0. While I like the engine, it would not keep up with the 3.6 that was in my 13 JKU, and I can't say it would have kept up with the Gladiators I test drove, even one with 35s and stock gears.
I would love to get a 5.7 or 6.4 V8 or the new I6 (even hybrid)...
After first seeing your RSI review thread (thanks again for posting the profile pic), I've been reading your build thread over the last couple of days, and all I can say is you are doing an amazing job. You are doing exactly the kind of build I want to do once I pull the trigger on a Gladiator...
