Very nice! What was the process of swapping out the backup camera and (I assume) wire?

Nice! Thanks for the details. I checked out their site and it says that the backup camera function would be retained -- did you have to talk to somebody for them to tell you that it wouldn't?

Super cool -- I regret not getting the 7" radio on mine, so I'd like to do this someday. What was the all-in cost if you don't mind me asking? I'm not too keen on losing the backup camera, though, but I assume adapters are forthcoming.

I'm looking at this item on eBay, very tempted to get these to put on my Sport S Gladiator: https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-2018-20-Jeep-Wrangler-JL-RUBICON-Textured-Fender-HIGH-TOP-flares-Front-4pcs/114080561100?fits=Model:Gladiator|Submodel:Rubicon&hash=item1a8fbb37cc:g:a7wAAOSwkcleIrZr The...

That almost makes it worse :facepalm: Oh well. Doesn't matter much, just kind of annoying that they're spreading this information that the Gladiator is a flop when the data doesn't really seem to back it up.

Totally agree. If I see an article linked to that site I prep myself for the "sour grapes" tone. It gets stale. Probably they operate a lot like these other blog-type sites -- literally anybody can submit an article (with zero or no credentials) and their editors pick the submissions that they...

This article seems poorly researched. I did a ton of shopping for a mid sized truck and decided the Gladiator was priced at about a $5k premium when you compared it to other mid sized trucks with the same features. A brand new, crew cab, 4WD Tacoma TRD Off-road, which I feel is pretty...

I was really wondering if I should wait for this thing before I bought my JT... Very, very pleased with the JT sitting in my garage after that reveal. The specs are great but wow is it hideous! Plus it's $70k for the trim that has all the cool features he's talking up. I still want a Tesla, but...

Just checked out the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route -- that sounds like something I might want to eventually do! Do you really think a mostly stock Sport S Gladiator could handle it?

$800 for 4 + the spare

Flew out and picked up my Sport S Gladiator (GCM, hard top, anti-spin rear diff, basic tow package) today from Kent! Pretty quick turnaround, all things considered. Kent was totally awesome to work with. I think he said it best when, as he drove my wife and I from the airport to the dealership...

Nice, thanks for the insight. I shot him an email asking, we'll see if he replies. He's pretty hit or miss on communication, definitely the most painful aspect of this whole process is just trying to get a hold of the guy. I understand he's pretty overwhelmed, though, so I'm cutting him a lot of...

Kind of what I figured - what do they lose out on if it's not a stocking order? Trying to feel out if they'll be inclined to offer slightly less of a discount, if you have any idea.

Question for people who've ordered from Kent/Peterson in the past -- I have my Sport S showing up at their dealership in the next 2-3 weeks. I found a truck already on their lot that I may actually like more (It's max tow, premium audio, cold weather group, tan interior -- the exact 4 options...

Great, thanks for the details. Not sure why he didn't just say that, but good to know :) Hoping for the 1st/2nd then!

So Kent said my truck should arrive in UT on the 26th, but didn't elaborate on what that means for delivery. Anybody have any insight?

Nice, thanks for the info -- 8-10 days isn't awful!

JS status as of this morning -- sounds like it's hanging out on a lot somewhere waiting for a train or possibly receiving a final inspection. Hoping it ships out soon! So excited for this thing to arrive. I have like 5 loads of junk to take to the dump (we really needed a truck) :)

Haha! Well obviously I don't expect a sales pitch on a Tacoma on the Gladiator forum, but I still appreciate the validation to buy the Jeep :like: I did give the Tacoma some serious thought because they're dependable, priced more reasonably, and aren't awful looking, but I just couldn't get...

G status as of about 10 minutes ago -- really hoping it doesn't languish in these upcoming statuses for weeks and weeks like some of you have experienced. Fingers crossed!
