Eh...it wasn’t that long ago, he got good value out of it, especially with the need for another rebuild. The real loss would be some of the stuff he sold cheap or didn’t buy over the years. Maybe the craziest was a set of 5 Superbirds he could have bought in the early 80’s for $10k. The guy...

The 4190 being ordered doesn’t actually get reported as sales until the money comes in

This is part of the reason that I’ll be going with a topper rather than a tonneau cover. Couple years ago I scored a secondhand Dometic that is 18” tall.

He didn’t drive it nearly enough...after a few years the engine needed a rebuild and he’d moved on to another project (47 Dodge truck with a 60’s Hemi). The Challenger was traded in on a new Ram truck and Grand Cherokee

What’s to be, or not be impressed by? They can only sell as many as they deliver to the dealerships... planned production is about 100,000 per year, so less than 8400 per month, globally. Building a brand new vehicle in a newly tooled factory and then delivering all those new trucks to the...

Supposedly my dealer has one waiting for me...but he’s a couple hours away, so I’ve not had a chance to pick it up

It’s not too late until it’s too late, right? Not sure I need pics, but if you tell me miles, I’ll let you know if interest is still there. At least here in Indiana you save the sales tax on your trade in value, so I’d be inclined to at least give you trade-in plus sales tax...

Corporate pilot, professionally. Need a truck for projects around the house and farms. Gotta have at least one Jeep in the family.

Miles? Pics?

Yeah, the sales total is low because that’s basically how many they shipped to dealers, and the transaction price is high because only loaded Rubicons and Overlands were available. Sales numbers will skyrocket and transaction averages will drop as the factory hits its stride

Wasn’t it a company like Retrofit Off-road, or something along those lines that produces a glass slider replacement for upper half doors on a Jk? I would imagine that getting in touch with those guys might be a good start.

Years ago, this girl at church hosted a large group event at her parent’s house...on the wall was a picture of her in front of a 1970 Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger R/T Convertible, numbers matching big block 383. Seeing me lookin at the picture, she said, “That’s the car I learned to drive manual...

Heavens no....but I WISH that was a thing. They barely even let media inside the factory, and then in restricted areas, from what I understand

I was out there last week and saw a Gladiator on a lot north of the bay, just off 101. Sorry, I’m not familiar enough with the area to be specific, but the dealer was on the west side of the freeway, somewhere between San Fran and Santa Rosa...

I used Marathon’s equivalent to the Ballistic on my 08 JK and loved them...but having gone Bartact once, it’s the only choice, IMO

Ordered on 4/26. Have my VON....not even sure how to get more info than that.

I guess this explains why the pre-production JL that I got to crawl around in (a friend works with the company that makes the sensors in the seats and he had to run diagnostics for a couple weeks) had CV front axles. I was surprised when the CV’s weren’t on the production Jeep a couple months later

Pm me details...suddenly we’re in the market for one of those as well

I moved the majority of my Jeep toys to “The Mopar Room” at my In-laws...but may have a few like this. I haven’t found the Gladiator in that packaging yet, just one in the small “matchbox”

Reminds me of a story about a guy back in the 1960’s. He bought a brand new Corvette, drove about 3 blocks down the road and had a catestrophic engine failure. He got out of the car, in the middle of the road, turned around and found himself looking through the window of a Volvo dealer with a...
