Gladiator Window Sticker and Build Sheet Order Tracking

[ShadowsPapa]

Well, I ordered a JTR 2/21, built in April, sat at Toledo for six weeks, put on the rail, is stuck at railhead in Vaughn, New Mexico about 150 miles east. No trucks or drivers. Scheduled to arrive July 11, but originally July 1. Welcome to the waiting club.

That's my concern - it will arrive in KC and sit in the rail yard..........

Finally! Dealer just texted me this picture. Oddly enough the tracker never updated and everything still says Vehicle Built with everything TBD.

What date was it built?

What date was it built?

Built on 4/26 and shippable (assuming status KZ?) on 5/27

The dealers must be losing money on this or maybe it’s been going on so long now that it’s become “normal”.

Mine been built since 6/3 already had the delivery date changed 2 times then went to TBD

In production, but takes over two weeks to be "built".
Mine is built, but shipped another vendor for some of the other stuff and is in some sort of a shipping delayed status according to my dealer's call this AM.
That may hint or indicate that the other stuff isn't being done or isn't being done on a timely basis. Maybe there is something to the accessories of add-ons delaying things.
I'd think if it was truly built, it would go out to their lot and wait several weeks for a truck driver to get hired on and truck to be found.

EDIT: The build sheet is available, so it can't be anything but built from what I've seen over the years. I believe that doesn't come up until it's done and has all items installed.

I guess I had no idea that springs were an option. I'm glad the sales guy checked that or it might be an awfully rough ride.........

I'm excited for you! You went through a pretty excruciating process on deciding whether or not to even order yours and a lot of second guessing after you did order. For reference, mine was "built" on the 24th and "shipped" yesterday. Maybe the shipping process will be faster than we anticipated.

Things have changed, big time, since my first order, but it was ordered on about October 12, 2019, built November 5th, and I was told it had shipped the evening of Sunday the 11th, and I picked it up on Tuesday the 12th (I think I have the dates correct)

Yeah, even my dealer pretty much said ignore what the web site says.......... could be any time.
He knew I had things left to do on the 2020 to get it ready and wanted to give me notice/time.

Was July 1 (ordered 2/21), now July 11. Should we take bets?

 

[ShadowsPapa]

Update - a new change since I looked this AM after the dealer called me -

The delivery date this AM said July 22 and there was no window sticker link

Now, a few hours later, the delivery date is back to tbd and there's a window sticker link although it says sorry, there's no window sticker for this VIN LOL I think they are getting anxious HAHA

Damn Steve, I ordered April 21, 2 months after you did and I’m showing estimated delivery of 6/30….not holding my breath on that at all but seeing your info scares the hell out of me and hoping the delay for you is because your in New Mexico? If not my tires sitting in the shop will be dry rotted before mine gets here lol

Mine did the same thing. The window sticker link started working 2 days later.

Yeah, I've had five Kanati Trail Hogs in my garage since April, as well as a Mopar lift, Warn winch etc.

I don't know if it's Jeeps attitude toward the dealer, that New Mexico is a small state (population), or what. Illinois is a lot closer to Toledo, but my Jeep sat in Toledo for six weeks without moving. Possibly, it was just poor timing given the end of the pandemic and supply side issues, although it was built pretty quickly.

I feel for ya man and hope it shows up soon, I’ll look for pics when you get it lifted and rockin. I have the mopar lift sittin here to. It’s anyones guess when it’ll show up, my dealer says they don’t have any updates for me so it is what it is I guess
