The quote I got from the dealer expressly states that it is not an invoice but an estimate, subject to changes at the factory.

At 5% under invoice though, I’d estimate closer to $300 than $450, but still. Jeep didn’t have to up these prices, especially those who were waiting on color options
As Green Monster informed you they are price protected on sold orders and the price increase happened on the 1st so any sold orders before that are protected...
The this is not an invoice is a CYA for the dealership as no invoice can be made until the product is produced with an MSO...

Ok this might be a dumb question. How does the upgraded radio sound? I have a 15 jk with the upgraded radio and it sounds great. Is this comparable?
IMO, the Alpine stereo on the Gladiator sounds better than the Alpine stereo that was in my JKU.

Chris, nice build, it has a nice stance and I like the black and red wheels. With 4” of lift, any issues with the driveshaft angle? How about lag or loss of power from tire swap? I’m dumping money into my JL for a show and go toy, hoping that a small lift(3-3.5”), 37’s and a set of 4:88’s will do for the Gladiator. Mine is supposed to be in Harrisburg waiting for truck delivery to dealer and I’m trying to get my shopping list done prior to delivery.

Hey guys, hopefully I'm close to getting mine. Ordered 10/5 and got word that yesterday it went through paint. How long are you guys seeing it take from here?

For reference, I ordered a rubi with black hardtop and fenders. (I plan to paint match linex them when I pick it up)

It is anyone's guess. Some people have gotten them in about 4 weeks from their order date. Some are still waiting. I'm at 4 weeks and a day in JB status without any idea of what the hold up is.

Look at the daytime pic above your post. It REALLY depends on the light its in. Part of what I LOVE about the color.

One is a picture, the other is an illustration. The differences (here) are not due to lighting. A much better color than the build tool, though!

Day 2 in I status. Now I am starting to freak out that I will be stuck in it for 30 plus days too.

Areti (10/23/2019, 4:01:45 PM): Your Gladiator has been built and is pending inspections, Bryan. The status code is I.
Me (10/23/2019, 4:03:06 PM): ok thanks.It went into that yesterday, and I was hoping it moved on. Seems sometimes it goes quick, and sometimes forever.
Areti (10/23/2019, 4:03:18 PM): It is not unusual to be in this stage for 30 days. We generally advise 8-12 weeks from order to delivery.
Me (10/23/2019, 4:03:20 PM): no estimate ship date yet either then?
Areti (10/23/2019, 4:03:30 PM): We aren't provided with estimates at any time.


It is strange that some of the Jeep Chat people give more information than others...this one was definitely on the skimpy side.

They told me "it could be up to 30 days in "whatever" status. Then the next day I'd check and it would be a status or 2 farther. Don't let them get ya down. :)
