I have only seen one other one in Raleigh as well. I doubt you have seen mine yet. I started working 17 hour days about a month ago so I barely get to leave my house now. Ugh. If you want some real attention go to Wake Forest. I walked out of the grocery store there to about 6 people standing around mine. And I had to have about a 15 minute Q & A with my audience. :LOL:
I live in Wake Forest! About 4-6 weeks ago, we saw a Red Gladiator a couple of times around town and it was driving us crazy since we didn't have ours yet! I wonder if that was you?!?! My wife and mother-in-law saw it twice in one day. Friggin' small world! This is us:

Thanks! I went with the Mopar 2.5" lift, Fuel Enduro wheels on 37" Nitto Ridge Grapplers..... The Trail rated badge, JEEP on the tailgate and the LE badge stayed on; I wish they could all come off to make it completely clean, but to no avail for various reasons....

I like the way those tires/wheels fill the wheel well! Might look at that option minus the lift. My finance manager has put a hold on my account within the household(hahaha, she’s pulling the tough love card)

Yup, all the time, especially when I'm in a hurry. I like it best when my wife is with me so I can say, ask her, I have no idea why she bought this thing, and she simply responds, "The sales guy said this is what I needed so I bought it, other than that, I don't know much about it"....

Mid door removal yesterday (like literally as I'm pulling the door off), someone in my neighborhood wants to have a chat about the price of the truck. I oblige but the timing was admittedly precarious ;) . Leaving the gym yesterday (don't get excited, I was cancelling my membership because I don't go anymore), a dude saw me pull up and burst out of the gym wanting to take a look. "That thing is badass! I'm gonna get one!"

She's a keeper. Loving this thing more everyday. Now I've just got to find some wheelin trails in this part of missouri so I'm less of a poser.

Hello all!

First post here. I get this ALL THE TIME in my model 3, which I absolutely love btw.

I still can’t decide whether I should wait for the diesel or not, but either way it will be the last ICE vehicle I ever own and that’s a crazy thought in and of itself but I expect the same thing for at least a couple years whenever I get my JT

Was out and about today and a dude followed me for a few miles out of his way. I was stopping at a gas station and he jumped out of his car and wanted to "touch" it. I let him take a look around and answered his questions.

Anyone else with a similar experience?
Yep. Guy jumped out of his car and asked to take pictures of it. I've seen MANY people taking pictures of me in traffic and it was SOOOO much fun cruising near the beach this past weekend. Dozens of people yelling out to me about the truck. Jeepers loved it too.

I'll be honest, if you were closer I'd probably jump out to get a picture of a Sting Gray Gladiator. I presume you just bought one that had arrived since the order lead time is so long.

Nope. Order placed 6/17 and I got the first Rubicon of anyone here in the forum or the FB group. I picked it up 2 weeks ago just in time to go on 3 consecutive weekend vacations.

Had a guy behind me in line at the drive thru at Whataburger the other day pull his phone out and started taking pics lol. Then almost every fast food place I’ve gone to since I got it, the person working the window has commented about how much they like it, and almost every young person has asked me how much I paid for it lol. My wife and I went out last week and right when we got out of the truck, an older gentleman pulled up and asked what it was and said how cool he thought it was. :)
