My order was placed today. 2 minor annoyances - Proximity locks are being required (not optional) by the manufacturer and they are out of A/T tires - so everything is M/T at this time. Oh, and no Gator....so 2 minor, 1 :angry:.
This post by @kayakmike was very helpful. I'll be dealing with...
I’m in the final stages of my order. I’ve had some frustrating emails back and forth over an “option” I’m being told is mandatory. I know some options are linked (select steel bumper, get LED lighting required), but I don’t see Remote Proximity locks being linked to anything other than push to...
These look really great. Was going to go Gator - but now considering Gobi. Going Black fenders and black soft top as well - so these pictures really helped.
Ha! Went to reply to this to say I was in the same boat, then realized it was you @dougl . Passengers in the same boat.
(We both are trying to order from the same dealer - both got the news Monday)
As of this morning - No more Gator. All my quotes had Gator as the option and as I turned in my final quote this morning I was told.....no more! No word on when 2021's start or 2020 stop. Asking again.
Haven’t found this on the forum. Did anyone go with the standard soft top? Happy with it?
I’m for sure going soft top. Just want to make sure the premium is worth the price.....premium.
Pictures Appreciated! (Last decision to make is color)
@BAT Like you, I have a RAM 1500 (which I love). I also have an LJ. I am combining the two into one vehicle that will work for the family. I have both tops for my LJ. 8 to 9 months of the year, the LJ top (much larger) hangs from the ceiling in my garage. Most days it has no top. If it's...
Thanks for pointing out this build thread to me @kayakmike.
Plane tickets are dirt cheap right now. IF, and that is a big if, I can get a day or two off - I think it would be a blast to fly up there and drive my new JT back home. Thanks for the DMV post too. CA is fun right?
Shipping Post. I had a few people message me as well. Didn't want to hijack this thread.
Also, I was asked if 2020 Gladiators can still be ordered. Yes.
2020 Wrangler orders ended Wednesday according to Kent. 2020 Gladiator orders are still a go.
I'm posting this separate from the Idaho Dealership thread. We started discussing shipping from Idaho to CA, and I didn't want that thread to go off subject. I also received a few messages from members wanting this information too, so I felt a new thread was appropriate.
Kent from Peterson...
This is why I am ordering. So many good Rubicons without this simple option. I can see why a dealership might skip them on a JL as an $800 option if trying to keep the MSRP down, but for $300 on the JT - can't believe it's missing on so many.
Thanks for the link - I'll check it out. BELIEVE ME, I'd prefer to drive this back - especially around northern Tahoe. I'm in a job that just wont allow that. Unless I postpone buying for a few months. Just can't get the days off right now.
Hey all - I'm new to the forums, so I've been doing a lot of reading before asking questions, etc, which is how I found this old thread.
I wanted to update this thread as it seems to have died off. This was very helpful for me. I'm in Central CA. One local dealer has some pretty good deals...
Thanks for this! I was just about to post asking how important this feature was to those that purchased it. We've nailed down a few "must have's" as well as a few features that would be nice if they came on a well priced JT. This is currently on the list as either a "must have" or "would be...
