I just got this email from Jeep Brand:
We want to thank you for your interest in the all new Jeep Gladiator.
Frankly, this response exceeded even our expectations. Because of this, there have been delays in our ability to get back to you.
However, please know that your place is reserved in line...
My bad, you just converted the WHP to crank HP. We're on the same page.
I'm not an expert, but I believe the tranny is good for 500hp, my clutch probably not so much.
I'm meeting with the company at EJS to discuss it. Need to get a firm number though first. WE've been texting back and forth. When the LE ordering went live he texted me at 1 am to let me know. I just sent him a picture of my sales order, lol.
I'm thinking it'll be happening pretty quick, I...
You lost me on this one... what new numbers? As far as I know the jt has the same motor and 280 or 285 HP?? It would stand to reason numbers should be very similiar

I just checked for mine, no vin yet
Correct. The stock auto and stock manual tranny can hold the power wo issues. They tuned it to 370.5 hp from a baseline of 220. That’s wheel hp. I don’t recall the torque but it’s a similar gain. Ripp has it up on their YouTube. You’ll see my granite jlur there.
I definitely agree w the auto tranny. I wish I would have done that. That 500 whp Jk has a built motor that really not comparing apples to apples.
On another note. I haven’t had any issues with my motor on the jl, I know a few turbo guys have run into big problems
My jlur was there test vehicle. They had it since March 2018. It took a while but I got in January and have had absolutely zero issues with it.
They also did my 392 jkur.
I don't know if that's how it had to happen, or they just told you that. I placed the order through tri-city and Jeep hadn't contacted me yet at that time. When they did reach out, they tried sending me to dealers in Miami.
I started this thread, and I feel like this whole process has been total BS!
We didn't get to sign up for the 24 hour April3 preorder until 3 pm yesterday. By 10:00 AM I hadn't been called, and I saw you guys started getting your orders in already. I called Travis directly and placed my order...
