Florida Roll Call!

[Natevick]

Took a road trip with my dad on Monday to SC to get my first Jeep cause Jacksonville dealers suck. I let him drive it some of the way home. Now he might sell his JKU and order one thru Gupton. The addiction is real.

I didn’t order. I found this on a lot in SC. Got the 1% under invoice thru tread lightly and all incentives.

My dad is talking to Daniel Gupton and might order from him. So far he’s been pleased with them but I’ll let you know how his experience was if he does decide to order one. Daniel is telling him it’s 8% with tread lightly and financing with them.

I got a Diesel ordered through Gupton. I am in Miami and contemplating driving it down when it gets to the dealer.

Would make for a good break in too. Leased mine at planet jeep down there. I'll probably check with them first and see what they can do before trying gupton.

It took me 6 hours to get a good deal on my Hellcat lease. I told myself i wouldnt do it again but good luck with the dealers down here.

Luckily my dad used to sell cars in his younger yrs, so he knows alot. Helped me strike pretty good deals on last car and this one. Credit score helped alot too, almost had them bowing at my feet lol. He also knows several salesmen and mangers that are still around from when he sold cars.

NICE. Yeah my last bit of leverage was my credit score. It helps a lot.

Jacksonville checking in. Closer to Jax beach. First time jeep owner and so far no regrets. I generally make trips as far North as Fernandina Beach, as far south as St Augie and as far west as OP. Down to meet up. 21 freedom with max tow.

Jacksonville - Huguenot Park day at the beach! Just found y’all. Look forward to meeting up some time. Happy Mother’s Day to our Gladiator Moms!?

Hey neighbor! Love the Jeep. Where did you get those doors?

Howdy! They are the Mopar doors. Was the first thing we bought when we picked up our LE.

Checking in from Hudson, FL. Looked to order a new Overland but did not want to wait. Started checking dealers all over central and south Florida could not find the combo I wanted. I was looking for the Overland in Sarge Green because that is the first model to offer leather seats and I wanted them in Dark Saddle. I found a few Sarge green Gladiator but they all had black interiors. Widened my search to the panhandle and low and behold Fort Walton Jeep had one just like I was looking for, but it was on order. Looks some more but had no luck, so I checked back a few days later and it so happened the day I called it had just been unloaded from the transport truck. The sales lady was just about to call me, but I beat her to it. Handled the whole transaction over the phone and the internet. Flew to Destin/Fort Walton Beach airport. The saleslady brought the jeep to me there. We sat in the cell phone lot and she went over the rig and helped me sync my phone. I drove six hours home and had sore cheeks when I got there from smiling so much. I also own a 1982 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler and the whole reason for this purchase is to load the Scrambler on a trailer and drag it beg=hind the Gladiator jeep events and shows. I figured what better than a new Jeep pulling a classic Jeep. Now I am looking for an aluminum car hauler.

Nice rides and congrats on the new truck

Finally had the bumper and winch installed. Took a while to find the bumper, many items out of stock or supply chain issues. Still waiting on the skid plate from Warn, apparently national back order. Going to see if I can reinstall the factory with modification. Don’t like having the shock reservoirs exposed.

KC LED’s in front, Oracle back ups installed. Still have a few minor upgrades remaining at the moment. Pre-loaded the winch tonight. Yard was finally dry enough, been raining for what seems like all summer in north central Florida.

Hoping to meet up with others to hit some trails around Ocala.
