  1. Order shut down?

    Any time a dealer says "you must hurry" a red flag goes up. Not saying they're wrong, just saying hold on, time to hit pause and double check. In my experience lead times for a special order are 6 to 10 weeks. Not sure about the cutoff date for special orders but I'd swear it's way beyond...
  2. GATOR Gladiator JT Club

    Apologies for not searching before asking... I just searched and found out it's an option. Thank you for the reply.
  3. GATOR Gladiator JT Club

    I ordered Gobi (still happy I did) but wow that Gator looks fantastic. A lot less dark green than I thought it had, and in a good way. I don't think you go wrong either way. What triggers the black grill? Is that on all Rubicons, or is it a Gator thing? I figured my Gobi Rubi grill would be...
  4. Gator AND/OR Gobi Pics

    Really? I love how different it is. But who knows - I may end up liking the gray. I'll know around mid December.... What I'd really like is to find someone to do a hood swap - I'll give them the Rubi "fake hood vents" hood for a regular one. Any local Gladiator owners got Gobi?
  5. Why go slow off-roading?

    Too fast. For most of us, this is doing it wrong. Jeep's commercial is just that: commercial. Marketing. Scripted, rehearsed and paid for. Not real. Gladiator isn't a buggy. If you've got the funds, go for it, absolutely!
  6. Gator AND/OR Gobi Pics

    Thank you. I really liked that red, but I can live with the gray, as the saddle leather is more important to me.
  7. Gator AND/OR Gobi Pics

    What determines the color of the dashboard? I've seen photos of the Gobi Rubicon with a red dash and with a grey dash.
  8. Why go slow off-roading?

    Speed is fine on a track, but on a trail or even a dirt road, what's the point? Perhaps fun, but when you're dealing with imperfect surfaces, speed introduces a lot of risk. I've watched buggy hill climbs on youtube and while they're entertaining, can't help thinking about how much they're...
  9. 35s or 37s?

    If you have deeper pockets, go for what you want and spend the money making corrections as needed. If not, run the stock tires out and save your money while becoming more familiar with the rig in its stock configuration, so that when you're ready to buy, you're better informed of its...
  10. Hey, Saddle Leather Owners . . .

    Thanks for the Gobi & Saddle leather photos. Looks great on the Gobi!
  11. Hey, Saddle Leather Owners . . .

    I had saddle brown in the '14 JK, and back then it wasn't just the seats. The brown was used on door trim, lower dash, console trim, etc. and to me it looked better than the Gladiator's brown seats only with everything else black. But I'll get used to it. Maybe I'll order tan slush mats.
  12. Official Gladiator *SPOTTED* thread

    Seems that ever since I placed the order for the JT, now everything I see reminds me. This on the commute home tonight.
  13. 2,500 mile manual transmission report

    Amen. If they're not offering a manual, could they at least give you a conventional column mounted shifter?? I won't miss the hockey puck.
  14. For Those with a Manual... Care to Comment?

    I ordered the Rubi with manual and I tow a 3,300 lb trailer twice a year (plus occasional other trips), plus a 2,000+ load every weekend in the summer. Test drove the auto, not the manual, but for a Jeep/truck I definitely want a manual. It's a lifestyle thing. My JK manual 2-door was okay...
  15. Hey, Saddle Leather Owners . . .

    I think it would look great with gator, but I went with Gobi. I prefer the "shades of brown" theme (including tan). Gator or Gobi, you're still talking about earthy/outdoors color palette and I bet either will look great. Though I find it odd that (according to videos and Build Your Gladiator)...
  16. Fire extinguisher

    Within reach of driver's position, in case I'm trapped in the seat after a crash. Doesn't do a lot of good mounted to the roll cage at the rear in that scenario. When I had the JK, used an aftermarket bracket that mounted to the driver's seat bolts, with a quick release. Easily accessible, yet...
  17. Manual Transmission Club

    Is the JT manual transmission shifter connected mechanically to the tranny, or is it some fly by wire electronic thing?
  18. Can forward part of soft top flip back like in JK?

    Hi all, first post, glad to be on the forum. Considering dual tops with the premium sunrider top. I know the sunrider folds all the way back and rests at the top of the rear window, but does it also let you flip back the very front section only? (keeping the rest of it covering the rear...
