Alright. Had just over a week with my GC Rubicon JT. As requested, here is a bit of a review.
I got lucky (especially compared to a lot of you still waiting) and my JT arrived the Thursday before the long Labor Day weekend. Between work and other obligations, I barely put any miles on it until...
Thanks @WildJD !
Here are some pics (you caught me at a good time).
I added a hood chip/bug guard (probably useless but I like the look). Changed out the antenna. I also removed the Gladiator and Rubicon decals. Wasn't feeling the decals at all (personal preference).
Hope you all are behind...
Picking my GC Rubicon (non-LE) up today. VIN: ######ll132793. My nearly 30 year wait for Jeep truck is almost over!!! Just thought I would give you guys my timeline and wish all of you a speedy deliver of your JT.
6/13 - Dealer ordered
6/17 - VIN issued
6/19- Dealer notified D status
7/9 -...
Ok, probably a dumb question. I didn't order the remote start package for my (hopefully) soon to be delivered rubicon, but I've seen some posts that indicate that you can remote start using the UConnect app on your phone. Do you have to have the remote start package for this to work, or would...

I swear. I feel like driving there just to see this thing with my own eyes but I know that I would have take someone with me because I would cancel my order and just drive this one home....patience...patience..
Congrats on the GC Gladiator! Now you join the rest of us in "the wait"...This thread may help: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/build-codes.17665/
First GC Rubi I've seen and it gives me tons of hope because it is BEAUTIFUL (Congrats!). Details? Matching paint hard top and fenders? Spray in bedliner? Pic and the color make it difficult to tell sometimes.
Just chatted with Emily about by GC Rubicon (NOT an LE - you poor, poor bastards...). I feel like I have still not seen a GC Rubicon JT anywhere except for @Lumberjack500 . All the others have been non-Rubicon (Overland, Sport, Sport S)...
Quick summary of my order. I've skipped a bunch of...
Well...Below was from Matthew at Jeep Chat just now. Looks like its the steel REAR BUMPER causing the problems in delivery.
"The Gladiator is currently in the pre-production stage which means that it is waiting for all of the parts to be gathered so that it can enter into the build process. At...
@HigBeasty come home safe and find you a new Gladiator and ride free. Thanks for your service, but don't lose all hope that a Gladiator is not a part of your future.
Got my VIN yesterday. In D status.
Granite
Non-LE
Rubicon
No steel bumper
No matching hardtops or fenders
Spray In Bedliner was ordered
Weird thing was, when I was ordering with the dealer they got a notification that ordering the hard top headliners could cause delay so I said screw it. Give...
A guy from my home town bought the red Overland I test drove a month or so back (ordered by Granite Rubi on Weds...the wait begins...). Coincidentally, my hometown of Point Pleasant, WV is the birthplace of Karl Probst, the automotive engineer credited in 1940 with the design of the Jeep. I...
Welcome aboard! I'm probably living pretty close to where you are (Huntington, WV) and I'm a little familiar with the Daniel Boone National Forest myself. As most folks will tell you, go test drive one first - Jeeps are bit different from most other vehicles - but that's also what makes a rabid...
