Hey @Rex3rd fyi I was just re-reading this thread to see if anyone on this forum has actually taken delivery of a base Sport model with the old fashioned manual windows, mirrors and locks. And I see that still no one has. I see a whole lot of Sport S trucks though. Was really wanting to see pictures of their base Sport rides. In answer to your question about how my order is going it’s still on hold. I wait until I have actually seen a Gobi and a Sting Grey Gladiator before I place my order. I am in zero rush and will need to be happy with my color selection for at least the next 4 to 5 years, or more. I will order a base Sport (not a Sport S) and I got a sneaky feeling that I may end up being the first forum member to post pictures of their base Sport truck on this site.
Will get a stick shift(drove one with a stick about 10 days ago and loved it). Will get the hard top and rubber mats and that’s about it for the factory order.
About a week ago I bought a Mopar hard folding tonneau cover from a dealership that just happened to have one in stock. Am getting a twill Sunrider from Quadratec. I also plan to get a roller mesh sunshade as soon as Bestop has that worked out. I spoke with a guy from Bestop just yesterday and he told me they are working on that and it will be mounted under a Sunrider. Cool item if you ask me. Am also getting a rubber mat to put in the bed of the truck. Need to also figure out how to attach another mat section to the inside of the tailgate. Anyone know how to do that? Love to know. Am also looking around at all step bar companies out there before I decide which set I will get. A couple of the companies have told me they can’t get their hands on a truck so they could then design some step bars. Some said I should see some new ones out at SEMA, another reason for me not to be in a rush to order.
I also have a plan for the teeny tiny base 5 inch stereo system system. Will hit the trash can in less than a weeks time. Plan to put in an aftermarket stereo system with an in dash CD player if there is enough in dash depth for the CD player.
Would also love to put on a set of rear bumper side steps to make it a tad easier climbing into the bed of my truck. If anyone hears of a company coming out with such side steps then please start a thread about that.
And finally about the Jake jokes. Hey it’s all more than fine with me, especially since Jake is just a forum name I created when I signed up for this forum. It’s not my real name, no kidding. Lots of folks here have made up names. It’s a public forum and I try to be a low profile person and to maintain a tad bit on anonymity here. Have come to like it a tad. So everyone can go right on with the Jake from State Farm jokes. Hell to me they are like water rolling off a ducks back. I have seen a lot of State Farm commercials but have to yet seen a Jake from State Farm commercial.
Stay tuned for the pictures of my ride. Give it a few months though and don’t hold your breath waiting to see those pictures. Don’t want anyone getting blue in the face holding their breath that long. My order may take a while. Will let y’all know when I do place it.
Hope everyone here is having fun with their Gladiator rides.
