Gobi Gladiators Waiting Room

[mattj150]

I've only been waiting 2 weeks, but this is excruciating...Watching grass grow feels like more fun.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes to move from the "ordered / scheduled" stage to the "in production" stage???? At least by then I would know that my girl is actually being built.

Mine took a bit over 3 weeks but then moved from production to built in 5 days. I'm not sure the tracker is super accurate.

Thanks! I'm hoping the estimated delivery date holds, we will see!

Don't forget to reach out to your dealer every once in awhile. They seem to get info quicker then the tracker as well.

My Sarge Gladiator was built on the same dates and has the same delivery date as yours for Gupton as well. I am hoping the are delivered on the 1st or sooner

At this point I'll share my fears with you...

As we near the end of the build year just how rushed is my truck assembly going to be? Are they going to be so rushed I'll need to check every nut and bolt to see if they're there and if they've been torqued properly? Stuff like that...

Just how set is this factory switchover anyway? Gobi's not available so do they rush them even more so cause they can't say they're 2023, or can they?

I wonder if they'll sell me an discounted extended warranty since it'll already be last year's model when I get it...?

I think the production timing partially depends on your options and any current part shortages. Although it seems Jeep is doing better than some of the other manufacturers. I was hoping to get the vehicle before the school year started back so I could fly the family up to Nashville and make a long trip out of the drive back. Doesn't look like that's going to happen at this point. Oh well.

Shouldn't be an issue I'd imagine. Most of the nuts and bolts assembly is done by robots. And quality control should be the same. They have a certain target number they produce each day. Not sure about the shutdown to re-tool for the new model year mentioned earlier, but there doesn't appear to be any significant changes for 23 that would require many changes. Gobi is just a paint and they have multiple paint lines running.

It's here. Now just have to wait for confirmation when I can pick it up. This week I hope. Flight to Boise and then nice engine break-in drive back to CA and I will be even happier than I am now...

Update: Picking it up on Thursday!!!

Congrats! Have a safe drive back to Cali!

That's a really good point... the only "big" options I didn't get were: the Sunrider Hardtop convertible thing, the Spray-in Bed liner, Gorilla glass, and the headliner. For whatever reason, these were not available on the dealer's order system that day. I didn't want the dual door group, and other add-on accessories. But otherwise, I ordered the works.
Oh, I also didn't opt for the Smokers' thing... (I don't smoke).

Maybe the chip shortage is affecting how quickly they can accommodate the Active Safety stuff, not to mention the U-Connect tech...

Will continue to refresh as I eagerly await...

I've heard that Gupton takes some time to process the trucks once they arrive. Realisticly I'm expecting mid august to actually take delivery. Its quite the waiting game!
