The lake life is great for 6 months of the year. Then 6 months of waiting for decent weather. And like you mentioned, literally nothing around trail-wise.
I just sold my Comanche to order my Gladiator. I'll also be selling my LJ and a Miata too. I'm holding out for Earl, but may end up considering Gobi.

Traded in my '14 GC for this Overland, gonna get the bed sprayed in the next couple days. Wife wasn't happy at first but it's growing on her. May take a while to sneak in the overlanding parts lol
From what I can see of past website support, it seems that the website is merely an afterthought. Such a shame to have the ability to market and integrate changes and updates that would broadly reach your audience and merely drop the ball at so many turns...I.e.: Outdated pricing, product choices (onboarding and off-boarding of option such as paint colors, etc). For instance, why would you have a website that lets your customer go in and “build“ a 2021 Mojave with a discontinued “Nacho” color today, 3/26/22 when that color closed out, i don’t know, a year ago? Oh, and Jeep isn’t building 2021 Gladiators any longer! So, stupid to leave that potential rabbit hole in the wild to waste a ”customer’s” time with a website that you control. Such poor client facing interactions show lack of planning and execution that may cost them sales when the tables of supply and demand turn on them. Very unprofessional Jeep!
So I contacted Jeep Chat on Saturday, (still in scheduling). I also asked if the production is scheduled by color batches. Randy's response was, " I don't work in the plant, I dont know how they are scheduled for production." Which sounded a bit dick-ish to me.
Perhaps, that was their intention when they built it out, but I call BS! So, maybe “Randy” could show us where there is dealer lot that still has a new ‘21 Nacho Mojave just sitting and waiting for this supposed “dealer tool” website to funnel us customers to based on our website builds?
Yeah, I think you are right - probably no 2021 Gladiators out there.
So, get this, I was on Truecar earlier today, because I have a mojave order I’m working on and sometimes they kick out a special factory based rebate through truecar; and Truecar actually shows the current limited Gobi color at the new marked up price! So, I think it’s bonkers that Truecar is doing a better job of updating Jeep’s changes on their website than Jeep does on their own website. Wow Jeep, way to be a out to lunch in your own house!
Good, now I can build mine and just stare at it until the real one shows up.
