  1. Waited 10 years for this tow - towing my CJ3a with a Gladiator!

    I have two other plows that I display and they weigh over 450lbs. You can see a CJ5 plowing here - https://www.farmjeep.com/farm-jeep-plowing/ The small 16" single bottom is a lot easier on the Newgren lift and me too. The 3a has a 265lb front bumper weight, so the actual weight distribution...
  2. Waited 10 years for this tow - towing my CJ3a with a Gladiator!

    The trip to the show and back went well. The only difference I could tell between the F150 with the 5.4L and the JT was the amount of time it took to accelerate to 60MPH. Have to be patient with the JT. Otherwise had the same great tow. I had positioned the 3a at the same position on the...
  3. So, what is everybody towing?

    Took delivery of my Sport S Max Tow and Saturday and towed my 1949 CJ3a with a Newgren lift and plow to an antique tractor show this morning. I've towed this rig for a decade with an F150 5.4L engine so I'm starting out slower but cruising along at 60 just fine. I just love this truck and...
  4. Gupton Motors up to 8% below invoice

    I picked up my Sport S Max Tow last Saturday. The experience was great and I used the drive home to do the engine break-in on the back roads of KY and IN. I am extremely thankful for this thread and for Daniel's approach to vehicle buying. I got the truck I wanted for thousands less.

  6. Waited 10 years for this tow - towing my CJ3a with a Gladiator!

    Thanks, the story of the 3a is at www.farmjeep.com I really hope I can convince FCA to change the cover of the Gladiator manual from showing the TJ from towing a side-by-side to towing a CJ.
  7. Waited 10 years for this tow - towing my CJ3a with a Gladiator!

    I've been hauling my CJ3a Farm Jeep to antique tractor and Jeep shows for a decade. I have used a Ford F150 as my tow vehicle and it always seemed wrong. So when the Gladiator was announced, I started to save my pennies. And last weekend I picked up my Sport S Max Tow in TN and drove the...
  8. Finally got my Bedrug and it's awesome!

    Just started the install today. I had to remove the "rail management system".. After reading here found that a pry bar will pop the rails away from the truck. I didn't find any backing tape and believe if I reinstall the fasteners on the ends, I should be able to auto align the remaining bolt...
  9. Gupton Motors up to 8% below invoice

    I think it is roughly $15/month. I need to check on a deal for more than one vehicle. Barry
  10. Gupton Motors up to 8% below invoice

    I just picked up my Sport S with Max Tow and just about every option. Yes there is remote start and unlock. I've had that feature on my 2015 Cherokee and it works great. But you will pay an annual subscription fee to UConnect. Still worth it. I've used Android Auto in my 07 F150 with an...
  11. Can't find the block heater - did they forget?

    Found it! Thanks. In fairness to Gupton, I cut the walk around short. I own a Cherokee with all the tech features and had read the owners manual. We had a long drive home at break-in speeds, so I left in a hurry. Thanks for all the quick responses. Barry
  12. Can't find the block heater - did they forget?

    Just picked up a loaded Sport-S for towing my CJ3a Farm Jeep. Ordered the block heater and it is on the sticker, but I can't find it. I've looked all along the passenger side, but I don't see it. Manual shows the diesel plug near the front, but doesn't mention the gas version. Can someone...
  13. JEEP GLADIATOR BEDRUG GROUP BUY

    Is the group buy still on? I'm definitely interested in a full bed/tail gate. Picking up my JT Saturday with rail system and bedliner. Barry
  14. Gladiator Window Sticker and Build Sheet Order Tracking

    Got my sticker 7/29 and the Gladiator arrived late last week at Gupton. I'm picking it up on Saturday! Barry
  15. Put my Gladiator on the scales

    OK, old guy but NOOB on using CAT scales. Don't want to make an (fill in the blank) of myself. I really want to weigh my trailer and CJ3a with a 450lb plow hanging off the rear 3pt hitch. How do these commercial scales work? So do I go across the scale with a fully loaded JT and trailer +...
  16. Tow Mirrors - Rampage Adapters for JT/JL

    Hoping to pickup my Gladiator in a couple of weeks. Got the MaxTow to haul my 1949 CJ3a Farm Jeep So I'm new to the forum (but not Jeeps!) and saw this thread in the What's New list. Just ordered the kit and mirrors. Thanks to the OP for this solution. Barry
  17. Gladiator Window Sticker and Build Sheet Order Tracking

    Just got my sticker notice this morning! I am assuming this means it is ready to ship. Keeping my fingers crossed. Barry
  18. Gladiator Window Sticker and Build Sheet Order Tracking

    I can't say that I'm happy, but some information is always better than none. My expectations for a quick delivery are gone and I can (try) to move on with my life while I wait. I take my '49 CJ3a farm Jeep to shows and had hoped to have the Gladiator as my tow vehicle. I might make a...
  19. Gladiator Window Sticker and Build Sheet Order Tracking

    Got the build sheet July 12th and it appears I'm waiting for something. I ordered a Sport S Maxtow with just about every option except the BT speaker. Not able to get much info from Jeep Chat or the dealer. Anyone aware of any items that are holding things up? Barry
  20. Gupton Motors up to 8% below invoice

    What has been the average time between the ship date and when the truck arrives at Gupton? Thanks Barry
