Gator Gladiator can now be ordered!

[GlacierGladiator]

This totally makes sense.. and we all would appreciate any more clarification you're able to get! My must-have is that it be delivered by the end of the year or I'm screwed on my discount code, so if it doesn't seem likely Gator can be delivered by then, then I need to switch to Black :/

So not much to clarify but I'm told its about scheduling and other things.
"They arrange / schedule certain orders for efficiency on part usage and paint colors"
"Like...they don't build a bunch of diesel vehicles all at once or...a bunch of low production vehicles all at once...or exports either."
Gladiators are built in 2 plants at the same location.
"First plant is supplier owned/run. They mfg. body, paint it & buildup frame/chassis. Then body & frame go next door and are married together and final assembled."
Like I said not much new info other then it just takes time since they need to build all models, trims & colors on the same assembly line.

The good news is that I might have a picture soon from the paint line of the gator color.

Not to brag but I was also told that once i place my order Sunday that there is a good possibility that mine will be will be moved up in line . The person I know will also walk it down the line too.
I'll post a picture as soon as I can get one from the plant.

Oh dude- you are too lucky to know someone in the plant! Congrats! It would be amazing to have close supervision on the build- and moving it up to being an accelerated build would be icing on the cake

JTR Gator ordered VON# 44589518- Had to go with dual top and bed cover...

...I plan to paint the hard top tan and do a few other wayout touches. .

if you could only get the body color hardtop - but make the top GOBI instead of Gator!!

I changed the order to get the gator colored hard top. I’m going to do a post and see if someone with gobi wants to swap. After it arrives.

Without actually seeing one in person and not seeing a picture off the line, is the general consensus this is Gator?

Want to order by Monday, but waffling on Gator vs Sting Grey..... I really want Gator, but it is a lot of $$ to be wrong on the color.

Oh, yeah- finally got the order in. Now keeping fingers crossed it’ll get delivered by year end.

I'm excited for you, I cannot wait to see some real world photos of the colour. I was holding out... holding out for Gator... and then I ordered a Silver @_@

I am excited even just to get my VIN so I can track the progress. Hoping that the rumors of Gator production not starting until November are just that...rumors. Haha
