  1. Man I'm getting pissed

    I too had to get a refund from Vivid. In my case for showing a Quadratec dead pedal in stock (until they got my payment) and then saying it was 2 months out. Quadratec themselves moved the projected ship date back a month every month until they finally got them. Seems like these drop shipper's...
  2. North Carolina STILLLL WTB Rubi/willys Rails

    Unfortunately no time soon. My friend I'd hoped to go see has a son playing baseball and is busy literally every weekend for the foreseeable future. Most games aren't even in town or I'd come to see his kid play. I'll let you know if that changes. Was looking online to see what's out there, but...
  3. North Carolina STILLLL WTB Rubi/willys Rails

    I'm in the Asheville area and have a set taken off while brand new. Still haven't gotten around to listing them on Craigslist, so they're around. $200 if you come get them (hardware included).
  4. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    95% sure that's sarge. It looks very different at various angles and lighting. Walking out to the parking lot of Home Depot when I first got mine, it looked so dark I wasn't sure it was my truck. Having said that, black forest green might be my favorite Wrangler color ever and if they were to...
  5. 2021 Sarge Green Willys mostly stock "build"

    Also, got ducked twice this week after never having been. The green one lives on my dash now.
  6. 2021 Sarge Green Willys mostly stock "build"

    The dead pedal I ordered before I ever got my Jeep came this week. I thought being one nut and bolt it would be easy as pie. I was wrong. Getting the existing nut off was near impossible and I didn’t have a 13mm nut to go over it. Finally went to Advance Auto to buy a nut and the young men there...
  7. Quadratec Dead Pedal Installation?

    I should add, it takes a little getting used to. From years of driving manuals it’s an odd feeling resting my foot there. I’m sure in a few months it will feel weird not to have one when driving other vehicles.
  8. Quadratec Dead Pedal Installation?

    I went by Advance Auto on my way home to see if they had a 13mm nut. I told the story to those teenage boys and they took it as a challenge. One of them finally got it and I tipped him $20. I too now have a dead pedal.
  9. Quadratec Dead Pedal Installation?

    And I replied that I had been trying to break mine free with a closed end wrench. Not being a jerk here, but I'm literally using the same thing and can't get it to budge. Don't have a deep socket in 13 mm or I feel sure I could get it. Have more tools at home than in my Jeep so hoping I can get...
  10. Quadratec Dead Pedal Installation?

    If I had a 13 mm nut handy, that would be a breeze. Since I don't I'm in the same boat as OP & local hardware store closes before I get off work. Out here trying to bang the he!! out of a closed end wrench but it won't budge. Doesn't help that it's in a tight spot where you can't use a mallet or...
  11. Took my new Gladiatior on her maiden hunting voyage

    It's an exercise in patience for sure. And they get more wary the longer season has been in.
  12. What price shenanigans have you seen dealerships do?

    At 6% under invoice, my $51K MSRP Willys came out to 45 before tax, tags and title. My local dealer begrudgingly matched one of the ones on this forum. Before I came in with that quote in hand, they were claiming that invoice was literally what they pay for the vehicle and a penny under that was...
  13. What price shenanigans have you seen dealerships do?

    Don't even get me started on the finance department. I paid in full for my Gladiator and had to sit there with a certified check in hand (already filled out) to listen to all the extended warranty packages they offered even though I said I wanted no part of any of them. I got there a little...
  14. What price shenanigans have you seen dealerships do?

    Straight up let them know "no deal." You can get that same truck spec'ed out for 5-6% below invoice (which is already more than 2k below MSRP) if you're willing to travel. That's flat out shady, the incentives are meant to incentivize buying. This dealer is taking that away from you. I would...
  15. Bandit Edition Gladiator

    Haha, thanks but I'd need a white Wrangler first!
  16. What price shenanigans have you seen dealerships do?

    Not sure if this is what you were getting at but the MSRP contains the destination fee (currently $1995).
  17. Finally White Knuckle Offroad now Available

    Absolutely would have bought these if they were out when I was in the market. These are sweet, look forward to seeing them on you guy's.
  18. Best Amazon dead pedal option

    Back in March. I tried to order another from a secondary company who showed in stock but they gave me the same date as Quadratec so I cancelled with them. I wasn't expecting it until ages from now, but got the email today they were shipping. I thought for sure it was just another reminder email...
  19. Bring Out Your Dead...

    Just got a notification that my Quadratec dead pedal with pad is shipping today via FedEx. Still showing out of stock on their website but anybody looking for one, it may be worth a call.
  20. Best Amazon dead pedal option

    I *just* got an email confirming that my Quadratec Dead Pedal with pad shipped today. Might be worth calling them.
