Well said Sunrise, I talked to 4 somewhat local dealers by me and all of them claim they’ll match any deal, then the second I tell them the deal Gupton is offering they come up with a whole range of excuses why that deal doesn’t count…
iowa as well, motor inn of spirit lake I think. He’s super quick to respond back to emails and is a sponsor. He’s got a thread stickied on top of the ordering forum with his contact info. I ended up going with Daniel at Gupton because both were 8-10 hrs from me and Daniel is cheaper at the 8...
7/26 order through Gupton, 7/27 vin date, just hit assembly/ scheduling status so finally past the we are currently sourcing parts phase!
No build date yet, black rubicon diesel with led's, steel bumper, aux switches and not much else.
Daniel has basically created the straight from Jeep sales method that auto companies should have been doing for years now. I'm glad there are dealers around me for service and warranty work, but after the warranty is out I never generally let the dealer near my vehicle again.
I do think his...
were you the only one in the vehicle? How was that rear passenger area where he hit you? That’s where a lot of kids ride in vehicles, no clue how someone could do that and drive away not knowing if they just injured someone’s kids.
glad your okay and hope your family was too and hoping you...
that’s great to hear! Maybe they are on a 4-6 week lead time and those dreaded 4-6 month emails are false. I’d be thrilled to get my 7/27 vin date with an arrival of 9/1 or so.

dv8 makes a set of brackets for $100. I haven’t tried them yet as I don’t have my gladiator yet not a hard top but ordered so I do when I find a good price on a hardtop. Reviews are all good though!
Totally spot on, when Hyundai debuted the Veloster back 8-10 years ago or whatever it was, that was actually their halo car at the time used to show their latest design language and technologies.
I doubt this applies the same way to custom orders for the Gladiator, they still need to keep the factories running, just if they are going to cut production they are better off cutting dealer Gladiators which may sit on the lots longer than dealer Wranglers. Either way they know it's...
I ordered a diesel rubicon with Gupton on 7/26 and haven’t received an email yet thankfully. Maybe since the diesel drivetrain is so new they ordered so many more chips for it for the first productions of it and don’t have a shortage of them? Just wishful thinking I guess. So far no issues...
He told me everything looks good from his end. The VIN was accepted as a 2021 model and I'm in D status so he said he would keep an eye on it, but everything looked normal at this point.
This was from Jeep Chat tonight on my order. Will be interesting to see what happens.
“Great question! Generally orders are 7-8 weeks from the time you order to the time the vehicle is delivered to your factory ordering dealership. Given that the factory had a one week shutdown, I would say...
Got my VIN earlier this week as well for a black rubicon diesel, sent an email to Daniel at Gupton to see if I’m still on track for what he thought would be 8 weeks or so from VIN to delivery or if things are pushing back to the 2022 models now.
sorry to bump this thread from long ago, but bought a premium soft top gladiator and wanted to buy these brackets ahead of time for when I do eventually find a good price on a hard top. Do you or anyone else have a link for the additional brackets needed going from soft top only to dual top...
