Finally able to pull a window sticker on my Gator Rubicon so I think that means it's ready to ship. First change in status in about 2 weeks. Ordered 10/23.

Maybe I got my window sticker 3 weeks ago. It's still waiting to get loaded on a train...

Those of you getting impatient while being stuck in KZ or JB whatever the code just count yourself lucky. Maybe it’s not moving because they found an issue and are fixing it or anything really. Mine which was ordered September 24th arrived on Saturday is now back at the dealer for good. My bank couldn’t finish the paperwork in time Saturday and being off on Veterans Day I was on borrowed car agreement from Saturday to Tuesday on my Gator JTR. During that time I went back to the dealer 3 times for check engine lights, electronic start stop service lights, and misfire on cold starts. From what I read on the forums here the few people with these issues still haven’t figured out the problem and currently my dealer has no idea what is wrong. Fortunately my dealer has ordered me a new Gator JTR, but, the downside is I really have a huge delay before I can begin having fun with my Jeep (likely wouldn’t have happened if they got my money from the bank on Saturday) and of course my trade value will go down. So for those of you getting annoyed or impatient it’s taking so long to get yours just be grateful you don’t have restart the whole wait.

Hi Jon,

Hopefully this will make you feel better - steering is Jeep, not Chevy - that being said I just had to get used to the differences. Otherwise, I could let go of the wheel and it would go a ways no problem until the road crown changed. The steering is sensitive IMO - I find myself over-correcting if there's any drift. It's not loose by any stretch. The bigger wheels mean it does behave a lot different than my WJ or my wife's Grand Cherokee, but I feel safe in it.
On the other hand - this thing has ZIP. I have a tendency to "go fast" - it's my ADHD - get there yesterday, everyone and everything is too slow so I have to be careful and watch it.
I found myself on a 65 limit passing 80 - the thing was so smooth and nimble - not even a slight shake or wobble. Steering was fine.
So far the only "concern" I have is the fit of the tonneau cover - doesn't seem right especially after seeing another Gladiator with one in the Lowes parking lot today.
Steering, handling, wheel balance, lack of shimmy, lack of shake, steering was quick (IMO) so hopefully you'll see the same results - assuming mine is normal! LOL

Funny, my JT looks smaller when I parked it next to a Wrangler in a parking lot...........

Guess it depends on your perspective.

I just found out I am in F status, it's finally moving along. Hopefully not long now.

You got an F? Does that mean you have to do it over again until you pass?
