Was reading this thread and ended up buying this:
Vailge Dog Car Seat Covers, 100% Waterproof Scratch Proof Nonslip Dog Seat Cover, 600D Heavy Duty seat Cover for Dogs, Dog car Hammock Pet Seat Cover for Back Seat car Trucks SUV
Very happy with it (one day in). It's very easy to put in and...
Hey all, Jeep came in late yesterday (Saturday afternoon). Apparently they need to program it (keys don't work, not sure what else) and inspect it before I can take it. Since service dept was gone, it'll be Monday afternoon. But it looks great. And I did all the paperwork Saturday. Can't...
My build was complete 10/3. Got onto a train and to Maryland rail yard (about 9 hours from Toledo, OH by car) by 10/13. Dealer is expecting it to get loaded on a car carrier and shipped the last 15 miles to the dealership in another 7 to 10 days.
Hope this helps.
For estimated timelines, I ordered 8/30. 9/4 I had a VIN. D was 9/20, D1 9/24. Build complete 10/3 and KZ/invoiced status. Then it waited on getting loaded on a train about 10 days. Dealer told me it arrived to Jessup railyard on 10/13. He said it could be around 10 days until delivery...
McQ, will you please post once it arrives at Criswell? Anxious to know if my dealer's estimate of 10 days after arrival in Jessup is close to accurate for you. Mine is supposed to arrive at Jessup tomorrow (Sunday).
Update, might be interesting to folks in KZ status.
Mine went into KZ status on 10/3. Dealer looked at shipment status and he thinks it'll be scheduled for the next train that'll arrive at the train yard about 20 miles away on 10/13. He estimated 10 days from arrival before they get it on a...
Hey all, I actually think I found the opposite to be true about cloth vs leather seats (6'5'', 250lbs). I have tried sitting in 5 Gladiators and one JL. I found with the seats all the way down and back, I was still touching the dash with my knees on 2 of the cloth seat versions. The 2 leather...
On the manual, I really wanted a manual truck, and that was a big part of the draw of the Gladiator for me, so filter the below with that in mind. I drove a manual JL (late model series, very similar to Gladiator) Wrangler. Very light clutch. Wide gear spacing. Felt slow. But I was running...
Yes, you're right for the Hellcat Hemi: Summit sells the brand new Hellcat crate engines for $18,400. But you could get a plain vanilla 5.7L Hemi long-block for around $5,600 new. Or you could get one from a wreck much cheaper.
The idea intrigues me, too! I'd never pay the $30K folks want for it. But putting an LS or Hemi in a Gladiator would be really cool. Not to drag race, just to do it. I've only swapped engines on carbureted cars, but I'd love to work through and understand how to make all the engine ECU and...
Moabite, great work on the flat floor! Looks like you were able to pretty closely match the carpet (no off-color jokes, please). Is it 3/4" plywood? What carpet did you use to cover it? Does it flip up?
Thanks for posting,
Steve
Put in my order today! Had originally thought I'd go with the Gator Green and a Sport S. But I really prefer the color matched fenders and top on almost all the other colors I like, so I decided to get the Overland with color matching. And then I seemingly lost all control and proceeded to...
Hey, I tried to order Tuesday or Wed, and color matched tops are blocked for all colors right now. My dealer knows I'm ready to order, and he put in a call to see when it'd clear (FYI there's also a weird deal where Black and Granite require ordering factory bedliner, but the Bedliner option is...
Guys, drove the first manual transmission Gladiator in my area. Was very happy with it, and tried to put in my order the next day.
But Granite and Black require factory bedliner. Which is fine, except that factory bedliner orders are all on hold. I was trying to order a Sport S. But I said...
