Granite Launch Edition

[kayakmike]

How many of the 4190 LE signatories are represented here in the JT Forum? Surely more Granite Vins have trickled out... are they all just going to non GF members?;{

There are about 86 LEs listed in the tracking sheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18CzyrrDuUyLk1NNhpOmoabLIUt6JA3BXtR-Tlbthhec/edit#gid=0). Not reflective of all forum members who ordered LE, only those that entered there info on the tracking sheet.

Several weeks ago, my dealer said he has 6 Granite LEs on order: 3 Granite LEs with VINs in D status, and 3 that were in C status. Since I had not seen any Granite LE VINs published, and the three that are in C are forum members, I assumed he was misinformed/full of BS.

Now a part of me wants to believe @Arop's post about a mass LE conspiracy (https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...ch-edition-pre-order-to-assure-sellout.17806/). If Jeep placed internal orders for XXX Granite LEs in March (or worse, dealers were able to order LEs in March long before 4/4), those may all show March order dates like @Arop's and be the ones in D status with VINs.

Of course if @JeepCares, they would have actually built and delivered all of the LEs by now. Almost 3 months after my order and they still can't even assign a VIN or tell me when my vehicle will be built. In the meantime folks who ordered last week already have VINs assigned and are going into production. Thread after thread reiterate what a CF the LE launch has been, and Jeep isn't doing anything to make it better.

Since @Jeepznthingz claimed serial #419 of the 4190 LEs, I think I can officially claim serial #4190 of 4190.

If they just built and delivered the damn things, we can get off this forum and out in the wild enjoying them!

Off my soap box. Done with today's rant. Time to be zen again.

Hahaha... I’m laughing so hard I’m crying! (Or maybe I’m just crying, and trying to convince myself I’m laughing!) Whole things so absurd, Twilight Zone... Bizarro World... all we can do is smile and Zen our frustration into anticipation! Now that I’ve seen an LE in person, I’m more impressed with them than ever... even with all of FCA’s shady, CF shenanigans... I’m still glad, no, ECSTATIC, to be getting a JT Rubi... and even more appreciative that it’s a “One of 4190!” limited edition, soon to be very rare, one of a kind, model. The cherished, singular, sole... badge, emblem, standard... of an extremely exclusive, and finite, order... of original Launch Edition Gladiator owners.
Worth the wait! (Yes... I will, proudly, be... one of those “EDO of JTLET” snobs!) “Elite & Distinguished Order of JT Launch Edition Titleholders” lol!
(Or maybe we should just call it,
JTLEMC
“JT Launch Edition Motor Club”)
PS... I’ll gladly accept #4189! ;{

Stay zen, bro. Even though I feel like you may actually get the last LE gladiator. I have no problem with you claiming that number.
This has been a very trying and tiring experience. You would think that a company such as Jeep would be able to deliver what they promised, but alas, I feel there are too many people or different groups of the company involved. If it were me, I would have assigned one person to head the launch edition promotion, then each group would’ve had a representative who would each meet with the head of the operation to discuss, plan and put it all together in a way that each group and the main person would all be on the same page. I’m guessing it’s the hype is more important that the execution. It’s sad, but stay zen, you guys will get your LEs, I feel sooner rather than later, at which point we can all have a laugh as we stop visiting here so much. Because we’re all out enjoying the thing we all have in common. :cheers:
