So what model is going to get the axe to make room for the Recon? Nice of them to photoshop some treadmarks on at least one of those renders. Like almost everything I would need to see it in person to know if I liked it or not. Need to see some test mules out in the desert.

100% agreed. The dealerships whine and cry about having to deal with setbacks and hardships... while we're begging to fork over thousands of dollars for the privilege of buying from them instead of directly from a factory. And instead of upping the customer service or otherwise trying to make...

Well I do appreciate all the advice and concern you've shown throughout this ordeal. That being said, I would like to reiterate that I am being 100% honest with all of you and have no reason to waste my time or yours with made-up stories or half truths. As to whether the insurance agency and...

Thank you for the advice. I have been trying to get ahead of the costs piling up. Unfortunately the cost to repair (including the bumper, frame and front axle assembly) is only $14,209.18. This only puts me at roughly 37% ACV and it would be hard to imagine another $12k worth of repairs being...

Ironic timing - I saw only the second Bronco yesterday with doors off (and the first was several months ago). It was raining, they had the front doors removed and the back doors still attached. They had the soft top up though so not getting soaked. I was tempted to wave, and if I was in my...

This was my #1 gripe the entire time. Just be honest with me. They have used every excuse you can think of and never admit what they said before wasn't accurate or truthful. The new one has been to aggressively deny that involving Jeep Cares had anything to do with my parts finally shipping...

It's situations like these were it would actually be nice to have legal advice or someone from like a consumer advocacy group that could just tell you what to do. I don't think there's an option to refuse the vehicle. It's been several months but when I called my state's insurance hotline they...

We would kept drawing until you had something you could play. I think either way is fine, probably a lot faster if you just draw one and pass to the next person. It took me forever to realize that UNO is just a regular deck of cards with the face cards replaced with action cards and the jokers...

Welcome to week 19 - Still no Jeep. I call the service department for an update: "Looks like it might need some body work, you need to call the body shop manager". So I talk to body shop manager: "The service department doesn't know anything. I'm not trying to throw them under the bus...

Uh could they not find a stock photo of a Punk'n gladiator? Seems that would've actually been the easiest of all three.

Stupid me, thinking they were going to actually start working on my truck. Nope, "still need the front axle housing" - no mention of that a week ago, in fact I could've sworn he said that they had it in stock. Still no simple list of parts that I'm waiting on. I don't know why I even get my...

I sympathize but sleeping in 80 degree weather (let's be honest, probably 90 some nights) is nearly impossible and if you have to work 24 hrs the next day... No shame in renting something cheap until you can afford to build your house. Also, as someone who's had his truck in the shop for 4...

Shit happens. I am a pretty lucky guy for the most part. I can live with this as long as I keep it all in perspective. Reading some of the other threads on here about dealer problems and wrecks helps in that regard. I am 100% getting rid of this insurance company going forward though.

Minor update: I got fed up enough that I contacted Jeep Cares on the forum here. Within 24 hrs the representative emailed me saying the parts were released to the dealer and would be arriving within a week. Called the dealer yesterday and they said the parts are indeed "showing as here."...

You guys ever watch Shark Tank? It's enlightening to hear the margins being made, the amount of money coming in and out, and yet these people seem to live like they're selling mix tapes out of their trunk. "So how much does it take to make that plastic thing?" "It costs me $3 per unit" "And...

Sorry man the timing was what got me. I should probably just give the forum a break anyway - it's not really healthy reading about gladiators when you can't drive your own.

Who here thinks it's only them? Who here thinks their situation is unique? Anyone? I'm just looking for information. This is a forum, that's all we can provide to each other. I'm not here to compete with how bad your cousin has it.

Accident unfortunately. I was thinking it would be impossible to find a salvaged frame that wasn't damaged, but I guess it might be worth a shot. I just wish there was more transparency than "we don't know".

Since nobody mentioned it, I have the Gator hard tri-fold (I see the soft tri-fold above). Right now it seems to be about $699 on Amazon. I got mine on a black friday sale for a lot cheaper ($530). Cons: Does not fold up entirely, the last third remains covered when opened up. This is...

Well since I'll be here for a minute, allow me to attempt a thread hijacking. Anyone know where I can get a frame? I am being told that the dealership has no idea when it will get off backorder. Personally, I'm having a hard time figuring this out. Does Jeep have a stockpile of frames that...
