  1. Dead Battery BEFORE it leaves the dealer

    Then guess you better sell it because that's the way they are.
  2. Dead Battery BEFORE it leaves the dealer

    Entirely different system from JK. Someone measured phantom load that can drain them plus new "smart" alternator charging system doesn't charge same way as others from some posts on JL. Mine was always at 14 volts while driving unless drove long stretch. With tender it is now 12.5 to 12.7.
  3. Dead Battery BEFORE it leaves the dealer

    These batteries are prone to drain if the vehicle sits for long. Whether sitting for a while on the dealer's lot or in your garage. Do like most and get a battery tender.
  4. Guide: Gladiator Order, Build, Tracking and Delivery Process

    You have the generic sticker. The paper one arrives with the vehicle and if it is like the JL for a custom order it will have your name on it. The one on the sticker database doesn't have the name.
  5. Inside look at the JT assembly line

    Had to be recorded before Covid. UAW/FCA agreement requires PPE and shields plus social distancing. Workers would refuse to work otherwise. UAW allowed to wear what they want unless in OSHA required area requiring specific outfits.
  6. 2021 Color leak?

    It's worthless. On the JL side they have 2021 colors that have ended, like Bikini, and others that have not been offered for years.
  7. Guide: Gladiator Order, Build, Tracking and Delivery Process

    Best I can determine it means - Second move to rail station. There are several rail sidings at the plant plus others nearby that they truck them to. They also have several large parking lots near the plant that they store them until transport is ready. Hope for the best, that it is going to get...
  8. Guide: Gladiator Order, Build, Tracking and Delivery Process

    I've never seen it on the FCA status sheets. JS is storage before it is released to transport. Best guess it is storage for the transport group. I'll see if I can get and answer.
  9. Just Ordered? Check in HERE!

    None that have been reported. Main reason no shutdown for model year switch - engine, transmission and transfer case vendors given enough advanced notice to be ready, Hopefully.
  10. Just Ordered? Check in HERE!

    Down in the states they wait for trucks to take them to the railyard to load, they take a long rail ride, then they wait at the rail drop yard for someone to be able to unload and then wait for trucks to take them to the dealer. One middle size drop yard had 900 waiting. They are even storing...
  11. Found this little guy at my local budget rental

    Little too much toe-in when he did the alignment.
  12. Upcoming years paint color availability?

    Velvet Red is a current Compass color and looks close to the pictures posted for Snazzberry. But a lot of the 2020 colors shown for 2020 Wrangler colors aren't available, at least in the US. What would be funny is if Jeep said a couple of colors to see if the dealers leak it then switch to the...
  13. Just Ordered? Check in HERE!

    Guessing the JT uses the same production sequencing system as the JL - each day it uses the very complex enie, meanie, minie mo algorithm.
  14. Just Ordered? Check in HERE!

    The 2021 JL has not started production and probably won't until around August 10. Orders opened June 5. There are still 2020 JL orders from Feb and Mar waiting to be built. But JTs are a different line with fewer back orders so should go quicker than than JL. Jay will publish the projected order...
  15. Upcoming years paint color availability?

    On the JL side they started dropping the short-term colors a little before the end of 2020 MY, Bikini, Mojito, plus Hellayella went to body only color and no matching roof or fenders. When the 2021 order guide June 4 (day before 2021 orders opened) came out it had the basic colors (all a $245...

    But in that post you said your vehicle hasn't arrived.
  17. Gladiator Window Sticker and Build Sheet Order Tracking

    The Jeep databases for build and sticker are very variable. Canadian orders have a sticker show first. Australian orders get a build but no sticker. US timing usually has the build sheet show in the database anytime from the time it starts until a couple of days later. Sometimes after it is...
  18. Guide: Gladiator Order, Build, Tracking and Delivery Process

    Hi - I wrote the guide and hope most or all applies to the JT. The window sticker that comes with the vehicle should have your name on it if you ordered it through the dealer and not just taking one of his inventory orders.
  19. Guide: Gladiator Order, Build, Tracking and Delivery Process

    GLADIATOR ORDER, BUILD, DELIVERY PROCESS GUIDE A guide to how the order, build and delivery process works. There is not an exact process but this is a guide to how it generally works. This is for US orders. Most applies to Canadian orders. It varies for other countries. Some of this document is...
