Anyone picking up at Gupton 2/21?

Edit:
If your JT is on the lot and you’d like a picture, let me know. I will be there 8AM for pickup, then homeward bound to CO.

I just made that same drive a week and a half ago!

First I would like to thank everyone on the thread for the comments and advice; the information provide here as been fantastic.

I'm working with Walter and Daniel and the process was as described throughout the thread; no surprises at all.

Timeline so far:

2/17 - Successfully placed order w/ deposit for JT Mojave - Sarge Green
2/18 - Received VON and VIN from Walter

2/19 to TBD - trying to patiently wait while watching youtube videos about Gladiators as a distraction.

Additional question; any HAM radio operators with examples of how they setup their mobile rig in their new Gladiator?

Quadratec has some nice radio mounts and antenna mounts that are Jeep specific. I’m going to install this 10meter when mine comes in I run one now in my semi.

Thanks for the link; looks like a nice little radio. I will have to consider that as a more compact radio next to the KX3 I want to find a way to mount for some mobile DX'ing. I'll keep looking and post to one of the HAM threads when I get the KX3 installed.

Their are better radios of course. This one is tough, stable and can’t be beat for the price.

Guys,

I'm really impressed with my Gupton experience thus far. I do have two questions about them after the Gladiator arrives on their site.

1. Do they add a "Gupton" sticker to the vehicle or worse drill holes to add their logo to the vehicle? If so, will they honor a request to not do this?
2. Once a vehicle arrives on their site, how long to they take to prep it and get it ready for sale? (1 day, 3-4 days, a week?)

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Regards,
Ron

Hey Ron -

I did not get a sticker and did not have to even request that. Not sure if that's what they always do, though.

Mine was there on a Tuesday and they would have let me get it that Friday but my schedule did not work out. Not sure if I could have asked for sooner but I didn't need to. I think their PDI is pretty good. I put some Gupton notes in my build thread linked in my signature, but I think you get it - they are really good.


ETA now that I noticed your picture - What's the good word?

Can anyone tell me about their experience with financing with Gupton? Picking up on Weds and Renee asked me what my plans were for a down payment. I was curious if there were any advantages to putting more or less down, minimum or maximums, etc. I can call in tomorrow and ask, but thought I'd give the forum a chance before throwing busywork their way.

Some promotional FCA rates limit the down payment to 10K but I don't think any of those are active for the JT right now. I put half down and wound up with a rate for 72 months that I'm very happy with; it was extremely competitive with the best advertised rates anywhere, not to mention it was for 72 months and it was going to be turnkey with Gupton. I wired them the down payment but I do think you could just write a personal check. I just wanted it over with.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up. Did they mention any minimums? If there aren't any incentives and their rates are competitive, I might as well use as much of their money as I can until I decide to pay it off.

Happy to share - but nah minimums never came up. I too wanted to use their money but I had to find a way to balance that with my desire for a reasonable payment amount.

Just took delivery of my Gladiator today at Gupton and I will say it was the best car buying experience I've had to date. I ordered on 1/11 and am very happy with the timeframe. Renee was nothing but helpful throughout the process and even better in person.

Ron - No Gupton sticker for me either.

This is my first Jeep. Having read plenty of forum posts, I was paying attention to a few specific things on my five hour drive home (in somewhat lousy weather):

Road noise: Yes it's louder than a car without a removable top, but even with the radio off it wasn't louder than I expected. Seem 100% okay to me. I did get the Mopar headliners... doubt I'll bother with any others.

Steering: It does wander a bit, but not enough to be a major problem. It did pull to the left more than a little at highway speeds, which I'll probably tackle with an alignment first. I'll probably do the upgraded stabilizer.

Suspension: The Rubicon suspension (which is what I got) is bouncier than I remember when test driving. I can see where the Mojave would smooth out bumps better at highway speed. Not an issue, but something I noticed. I've also never had a solid axle truck so I'm marking up some of this to just being a new experience. Can always upgrade suspension down the road, but I think it's fine for me as-is.

Gas Mileage: I was taking it easy and staying at or under the speed limit and ended up with just over 18 mpg. I am 100% fine with this, especially since I had Gupton install 35s before I took delivery and there were 4 33s in the truck bed (yes, I meant to get 5 and mis-communciated... will change out the spare shortly).

So far I'm very happy with it. Pretty sure I'll start with a few small adjustments/upgrades and start the "just one more thing" process. :P Looking forward to the adventures my kids and I will have this year.

Thanks for this info! Nice to hear your perspective on the drive home!

At what point did you work with Gupton about installing 35s and other add-ons? Was that before/after actual delivery? I ordered on 2/6, but I'm still waiting on my build sheet to become available.
