Just pay good attention to the forecast in advance. I see a lot of topless jeeps when there is a good stretch of weather without rain. That way you get the most out of the work it takes to remove everything. Wouldn't hurt to pack a tarp with some straps if you want to risk it.
I would have had some fun first. For instance I would have asked to quote on a custom order, Order any gladiator the way you want and then tell them to add the "Gladiator Package" on the order screen. See what they do.
Good to know, There were a bunch of orders that were placed when the bumper was available that were hung up. But sounds like they still may be a bit behind.
I think that the trail cam was considered not necessary and was one of the first things cut to save a few bucks. I do agree it's not a necessity, however there are more uses for it than just the trail. Like if you have a tight fit in a garage space, using the cam would help fit it in the first...
