Everything changes with time to keep up. Take a CJ5 down a interstate doing 80..... Roads are faster and more paved than in the good old days.
It all sucks and great at the same time.
Ordered mine July 1st and received a letter from Jeep today stating a 11/17/21 delivery date.
Edit: sorry. My Wrangler build is the above. Forgot I was on the Gladiator forum. Yes, I have one of these as well.
