Alrighty; I finally have a pick up plan. I will be at Gupton on Thursday January 6th. We are flying to Nashville on the first flight that morning. Can’t wait.
I am happy to snap photos of anyones Gladiator that might be there waiting for them at that time. If you have special requests of what...
It’s gunna be awesome. They will make some Jeeps with 1000 hp electric motors that crawl - and sprint - better than the Rivian, and help get that CAFE stuff satisfied. The vehicles will probably keep getting better. But I’m still hoping to hang on to my manual transmission Mojave forever. Well...
This isn’t much of a contribution. But I can’t help but share my enthusiasm. I haven’t even picked up my new JTM yet. The guy who installed these 35 in Toyo’s sent me this photo today. Sarge green looks sharp in the sun!
Cool. Thanks for the advice. That’s what I did. I haven’t even seen my new JTM with my own eyes, but the guy who installed the new 35 Toto’s snapped this for me. I can’t wait.
That sucks. And yeah - terrible timing too. Might be a record. But it doesn’t look huge and it doesn’t seem to go to the edge of the glass. You might be okay with a repair / fill instead of a replacement. There are some decent DIY kits out there from Rain-X. But yeah that really sucks to get...
I’m going with Toyo OC A/T III on the stock Mojave rims: 35/12.5R17. These are the same weight as the OEM WildPeaks. Anyone have experience with those?
The other tire I was looking at is the BFG KO2, which is also light, and C rated. Those KO2 do seem to measure smaller than others, though. I’m...
That would be awesome if you see mine at Gupton and grab a photo. Like yours, mine is also Sarge green Mojave. It has color matched roof and fenders, black grille. Congrats to you!
You might check on that to be sure. They have been on a growth campaign for the past few years, and advertising quite a bit. I’ve been a USAA customer for decades and am very happy. They don’t always have the best rates, but they DO have the best service. And they have really good people...
I just checked email and also got a note from Renee at Gupton that "they have just unloaded your order"... YESSS! I take this to mean that my Gupton baby has also been born, probably off the same truck as ShirtlessCubFan! Same color sarge green and a Mojave too! Close enough to call them...
This is awesome. I've got to get this figured out soon; my 22 sarge green JTM is on the way. I am trying to think of some Yoda or Grogro based name. Maybe it's just going to be Yoda. Our Tesla is called "sparky".
That’s awesome - welcome to the discussion. I’m in the same boat as you: ordered from Gupton 11/6. My JTM is now built, and according to Renee, sitting on a truck waiting to leave Toledo. It’s supposed to be there by 12/28 per Jeep Chat. Who knows but this might help you plan your trip to...
Just noticed on the tracker that 17 of the builds (out of 75 or so) indicated TN as dealer location. Could this all be Gupton? That's nearly a quarter of the builds on the tracker!
Jeep Chat indicates that my JTM is in transit to dealership! I will update the tracker but here are the basics:
11/6 order
11/19 D1 per JC
11/25 build sheet on crypto
12/2 completed initial build per JC
12/5 window sticker on crypto
12/13 in transit per JC
This is faster than I had hoped. I...
