I picked up my gecko gladiator today from Gupton. Everything went like everyone on here said. Easy going, no pressure sale, at a good price. Everyone was very nice. I would do it again. My kids sure were excited
21 orders closed about a month ago. Any order will be a 22 at this point. Gecko was a limited color only available for a few months. The Jeep build site goes based on what's also available on dealer lots that's similar to your build. It usually also has mistakes
They come standard with painted flares. You have to check a box to get the black unpainted flares. I chose a gecko max tow with a black top and black flares. I think it help breaks up the color, and most of the other jeeps I've had with painted flares got tons of rock chips and looked like crap
I think that after the new year they will probably offer up a more fun color. Gecko is done, and I would be surprised if tuscadaro makes it a full model year on the Wrangler.
I think the 4 doors look weird, but the 2 doors look awesome. I don't really have a use for a 2 door since having kids. I've been keeping up on the bronco forum on the reservation bs, Ford lies and deceit, POS dealer adm and tricks, and it being a Ford in general have turned me off
That's what I thought as well about the Max Tow. I figured maybe they're trying to push the gecko ones out. I check with jeep chat weekly and it must have just gotten built, because it doesn't have a window sticker or build sheet yet online yet
According to jeep chat mine is in the shipping stage and has an ETA of 10/18-10/29. I ordered 9/20, so it went way faster than expected. I got a pretty basic sport s max tow in gecko
Either on here or the Wrangler forum, somebody that recently picked up their jeep said that Gupton had 150 jeeps on the lot that were all custom ordered. None on the lot for sale. Pretty amazing since most dealer lots are basically empty
Lots of 21s still waiting to be built. I have one that is still in D status. Between that, and trucking/shipping problems I really doubt they'll start shipping 22s in 6-9 weeks. I ordered from Gupton and expect to check out the Christmas lights in Nashville the way things are going
I saw on the July order sheet, and a couple post about the Max Tow package only being able to be optioned on the stripped down sport model now. Is that still correct? If it is that is a bummer...
So is the truck of the year package really gone?
I find it so odd that in a single production year of a vehicle that option prices can rise and change so much like they have with a gladiator.
Orange is gone for good it sounds like. It was also discontinued on the wrangler as well. I wanted punkn too, but since it's too late I'm waiting to see the other colors offered. Snazzberry seems interesting...
Punkn was pulled from the JL and JT line up with no warning recently. About a week after the superbowl ad that showcased it.
The manuals are a new thing and right now you can't order a JL or JT with a manual. That may be remedied at some point though...
