Exactly. Two (2) jetskis seem to be the limit for comfortable pulling. I've tried to pull a two (2) place clam shell snowmobile trailer down the high way. My JKUR will NOT hold 70MPH or more in 6th gear with any head wind. Works in 5th gear, but damn it doesnt sound happy.
I am hopeful the...
From what I have read, it is actually the limitation of the clutch. I can tell you from towing a few things with my JKUR (6-speed manual and 35" tires, 4.10s), you wouldn't want to pull anything over 2,000lbs. I have a 3/4 ton pick-up for towing things (luckily), but personally I do not believe...
So part of my "dealing" with the wait, i look at the tracker in the morning (https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/gladiator-window-sticker-and-build-sheet-order-tracking.15238/). If there are Rubicons listed complete on the "first" page that comes up when I click my bookmark, I look...
Chadnutz, I'm afraid matching fenders and/or hardtops are the culprit. At this point I don't know if it really matters what the hang up is. Just gotta stay positive and reassure each other that this will be well worth the wait
So get this. I'm razzing one of my buddies wife asking if she got a Gladiator for her birthday (he's a cheap ass, so there is no way that would happen). Come to find out she works for the company that staffs MOBIS, which makes Jeep/Gladiator components right next to the plant. She says they have...
Awas, any update on this? Thoughts? I need something from a M/T Rubicon that's actually in their possession. Especially after being told, yet again, I'm still in "D" status. Thanks!
Your dealer should have given you the breakdown of your order. There should be a VON number on it. You can use FCA chat (https://fcacommunity.force.com/Jeep/s/knowledge) to get a VIN once it becomes a "good" order.
Welcome to Club Waiting!
As of Friday I was still in "D" status, but the more I look at other peoples builds, I'm beginning to think some of the delay has to do with body color hardtop and fenders.
Jake,
Yes, drinking beer and playing hockey (and sometimes going to class) was a great period in my life.
I'm about 24 minutes southeast of where the Gladiators are built!
Jake,
Yeah, you aren't too far away! Go drive it for all of us and take pics. I played Ice Hockey in Brewster and Yonkers years ago in college, so I know the area. Ahhhh, I miss the "good ole days"!
Now the question in everyone's head. What would you be willing to give up or pay additional for if the same color M/T model showed up in your area?....
I ran the VIN for the build sheet and I'll be damned..... It says M/T. Complete BS that this would be showing up before customer orders, or maybe it was a cancelled order? I want to test drive it!
I don't trust generic inventory websites. I'd want to see actual pics of it or it in person. More than once I've had a website tell me there was a M/T when in fact it was an automatic. Still, its some form of hope!
