Gladiator Window Sticker and Build Sheet Order Tracking

[Shawnu22]

I ordered a Bronco on July 28th, 2020, Chances are, it would not arrive until late 2023 to 2024 at this point. So trust me, this process is waaaaaay more streamlined. The Bronco is a total $h1t show and I bailed on it.
I ordered my JT through the same dealer and got 5% below invoice. They have been great to deal with.

What JT did you order?

O man,
Just got an email that I have a Window Sticker!!

11/24 order.
Hydro Blue Rubicon
which will be my tow rig [and camper] for my
2004 Patriot Blue Wrangler Rubicon

@Elff What's your 2004 TJ weigh? Are you going to mod the JT? Just wondering how heavy you think your whole tow set up will be.

Good on you getting the window sticker---I ordered more than a month earlier and am in D1 for the second time.

When did you order through your dealer and received the 5% below invoice? My dealer is saying the best they can do is 1% above invoice with the Treadlightly program.

Find a different dealer---which in my case means I'll be flying to get the vehicle and making an adventure of the trip back home.

I'd much rather spend an equal amount of money [but odds are it will be much less] paying for hotel rooms etc on the way home and have an adventure getting 5% under invoice than giving the money to a dealership.

I just added a Showcase for my TJ Rubicon. It's pretty well setup, but still streetable. It's ~3500lbs, so with a trailer, I will be well under the tow rating. Before I officially joined here, I researched and saw a bunch of other Gladiator owners are towing their TJ's with zero issues. As such, I am going to keep the Gladiator fairly stock, with maybe some appearance mods. The Wrangler is my Rock Crawler.
For camping, I am going light and simple. Rightline Gear Gladiator Truck Tent with Airbedz Mattress. So that will not add any appreciable weight.

My Dealer just emailed me
Gladiator is in KZ status with a ETA Window of 12/28/2021 - 1/10/2022

Oh sweet jesus, that is beautiful. Did you happen to notice if the blinker lights in the mirror were active or just blanks?

They're active blinkers now thankfully!

Also interesting: there are no side steps on what clearly appears to be a high altitude trim, is that extra now?

I had my dealer take them off for me when they were doing the intake upon delivery of the vehicle. I cant stand them! Knew I was putting rock-rails on it, so saved myself an extra step.

Glad to see you are happy! Just placed my order with Tom at Chapman this morning. Have they been emailing you with build progress or did you have to reach out?

This will be my 6th Jeep, but the first one I’ve special ordered. So excited!

Did you special order those mirrors or did it just come that way? I didn’t know we could get the European mirrors installed at the factory.

I reach out to Ashlie, not to be confused with Ashley who is not on the sales team.

And once I got the VON, I was able to get on Jeep Chat and get my VIN, put that in the Build/Window Tracker thread and once I got the Window Sticker, I asked Ashlie if there were any status changes and got the KZ status.

She does not seem to mind, but at the same time, I am not asking more than once a week.
I can't believe it's gonna be less than 2 months for the whole process.

This is the second vehicle we will be purchasing through them.
We bought a 2021 Lariat Edition Ranger for the wife, over the summer.
The Chapman group, and Tom especially, are great people. One of the very rare customer focused HONEST and Reputable dealers.

Awesome. That’s great news thank you! Really happy with Chapman so far.
