Hey All, I paid my dealer the $1000 to get my Gladiator ordered on May 13th. Soā they likely ordered it by the 18 - giving them benefit of slowness. Last I heard was that my order was D1 status, but that was weeks ago. Iāve emailed the dealer, just now. Anyone else order around mid May and...
Since paved and graded roads are crowned for water run off, there is a slight feel of pull to right.. I feel it on my Ram and itās totally aligned and in spec.
I thought it was ugly too, at first. Then after wondering if we were going to break an axle on the olā Ram Cummins SLT when elk hunting, we thought a Jeep might be a good idea. 2 door Wranglers? Not enough range without carrying gas and not much storage in back for rifles and gear. 4 door...
The quote before factory incentives etc. is 53K. Dealer tells me that since itās a 2020 and when it arrives weāll be 1/2 way through year so end of year incentives will be available as 2021s will start rolling out.
This rig screens āPoserā. Iām in the camp of folks who use Jeeps ācause we need the utilitarian nature of what they can do. This one, I imagine is all talk about size, but of little performance.
Werenāt, and maybe they almost still are, Hummers essentially Suburbans? Same engines and chassis? Hummers, other than maybe the electric idea.... But it doesnāt have enough range, just donāt appeal like a classic Jeep.
I ordered my Gladiator last week and the dealer told me itād be about 8-12 weeks. I hope this is the case since the dealer is 2 days camping time away and I wanted to make a weekās vacation out of it before fall school year starts back for kids.
Great description and pics of the tube doors. Iām wondering about your wheels... Is your rig lifted and what size wheel is on there? Looks like minimal offset and decent clearance.
Thanks.
Okay. Looks like Iām saving pennies for a Mopar 2ā lift, new rims, and 35s. Whew....+ the new rig, and Iād like the A.R.E. canopy, this is adding up. Ouch!
So I have a question. I want essentially what you have here, but the dealership Accessories Dept told me that the Rubicons COME with the Mopar 2ā lift. So did you lift it an additional 2ā and then add the wheels and tires? I want a 35ā not for looks, but for actual clearance on some of the...
I was SOLD on the Hydro Blue, but kept thinking Bright White would match the my Casita trailer that Iāll pull with this babe, so just ordered the Bright White! Gonna look rocking! Not sure how long it will take to build given COVID and factory just reopening next Monday. Hope to pick it up...
Darn, thatās the mileage? I drive a Ram 2500 Cummins, get on avg. to work and back via town roads 14.7 and was hoping to do better with the Glad Rubi I just ordered. Ahhh geez. Well, at least Iāll be able to have a better clearance rig for hunting.
I JUST ordered my Glad Rubi 2 days ago. The dealer said theyād send me a confirmation, something, (my phone connection wasnāt the best) and then a VIN and then a ship date.... as I will have to plan a bit of a camping trip to pick it up since I ordered from an out-of-state dealer.
My Build...
Our dilemma is this:
We have at least 1 good truck for towing the little camp trailer, so towing capacity isn't paramount but would be nice. We can't get the full size truck(s) into gnarly places where we hunt without fear of damage underneath, so something with a shorter wheelbase would be...
Looks great! We're ordering ours at the end of the month. Going to use it to tow our Casita trailer (3000lbs) and as a hunting rig to get in a little better than we can with our full size trucks. Great color and awesome pics - Thanks for sharing!
