So that's about the same pricing we got ordering through Kent (5% under invoice, or ~11% under MSRP). I was glad he didn't play any funny games after 6 months and the pricing was the same as what he quoted day one (though we had signed agreement, anything can happen). Read several stories of...
First Impressions and Drive Home
Man, I love this truck! There are things I really love, and things that can be improved.
Love it!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): Man, I’ll never use normal cruise control again. Whether its desert roads with only the occasional other vehicle on the road or...
Dealer Feedback
I ordered mine from Kent Shurtleft at Peterson Jeep in Nampa, ID. On the JL forum, he was one of the larger discount dealers, with many, many positive reviews. I started talking with him months before it was available, and every few weeks we’d tag up and compare notes on when...
Well, since I ordered mine on pre-order day 4/3/19, and did not pick it up until 9/30/19 (3 days shy of 6 months from date I ordered), I think a fitting part of discussing my build is Jeeps problems in actually building mine.
Our homes on the forum for the last 6 months was either this thread...
This is a summary of my Granite Crystal Metallic Launch Edition build & adventures. Thinking of calling it Grubi (Granite Rubicon) which also has other meanings which are equally fitting for me.
Kind of late to the build game, though no fault of mine. 3 days shy of 6 months from the time I...
Works great. Bought it for my wife's Volvo XC60, and he usually just chills in the back seat. With the top off, we buckled him in for the first time. He's never really been a "stick his head out the window" dog, but he was loving the wind blowing in his face and was standing up most of the ride.
1500 miles over the last week, including 200 off road.
Played around a bit at Trona Pinnacles on the drive home. Pulled the drone out. Easy off roading, but cool backdrop.
Love this truck! Zeus does too.
FYI, this has been asked a few times. Links also include DIY cleats.

So I picked my Granite LE up from Kent Monday. He said they are getting slammed with people trying to order the JL Diesel (guess articles say it's available, but they can't actually order it yet). So they are working through a flood of those order requests right now on top of the JTs.
@Sean0170, I'd hate to see you bail, especially since YOUR WINDOW STICKER JUST DROPPED!
Here's the latest reading postings over the last few days. All Granite LEs from the first group of we've been tracking have finally been built!
Just got back home. 1300 miles on mine over the last 2+ days...
Posted these in the Granite show & tell thread:

Picked my Granite LE up Monday. Drove through the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho Wednesday on the drive home. Have more to download, but just...
After 6 months, I can FINALLY graduate from the ordering section to the show and tell section.
Picked up my Granite LE Monday night from Kent in Nampa, ID. Hung out in Idaho for a few days and working back home to San Diego now. A few photos of it so far. More photos and trip report will go in...
No problem. So new I didn't even take the screen protector off the display or the warning sticker from the glove box. ;)
I am a little bummed the window sticker is faded and double printed. Was kinda hoping for a keepsake, but it's a piece of junk. Kent's going to ask his rep if they can print...
Yeah, only a few dealers offering this kind of pricing. Travis is the closest I think to you, and you can check out this thread (rather than hi-jack the Idaho thread): https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/who-purchased-from-travis-tricityjeep.18090/ Search the forum, but there may...
So I FINALLY picked mine up after 6 months. Kent, Derik & team were awesome. Quick in and out. Playing in Idaho for a few days before a leisurely drive back to San Diego...
So, as Kent is picking me up at the airport tonight, he says he's texting with this guy who is concerned about getting a lemon because he's in KZ OA. Oh, you mean Oscar? Ha.
Kent said basically the same thing we are saying on this thread...nothing to worry about, no indication anything is wrong...
No, you missed the point. They hold them for various inspections. These holds have been getting shorter and shorter and they production line has progressed over the last 6 months.
What proof do you have that there is a quality issue with your vehicle or it's a lemon? None. It could simply be in...
You're a whopping 3+ weeks since you ordered and are concerned about the delay? Think you are being a little paranoid. There are folks here who have been stuck in I (inspection) for over a month. Several months ago people were getting stuck in all sorts of build states for various reasons for...
