i hear you, but its kinda funny the most offroad capable vehicle getting dusty.....
Yeah, but unfortunately rail dust is hard to remove without damaging the paint. It's not typical dirt and dust. I've seen some photos of Jeeps with pretty serious issues after a trip on a freight train.

Shipping SUCKS!! If I could do it over again, I’d order from the dealership closest to the factory in Toledo Ohio. I was told our Gladiator would ride a train to a staging area in Council Bluff, IA where it will be placed on a truck for the 3 hour drive to South Dakota. It all sounded simple enough and that is what’s happening…kind of. Our Gladiator shipped (KZT) from the factory on a train on June 2nd and arrived in Council Bluffs, IA on June 27th…25 days on a train!!! Now it sits in a Council Bluffs parking lot waiting for a 3 hour truck ride north. I’m told it will sit there for the next 14 days or so before being trucked to the dealer. I know they’re shipping the most cost-effective ways possible, but 40 days in transit is kind of ridiculous. Next time I would order from the dealer in Toledo.
I'm 60 miles from the factory. Ordered May 10 and still no window sticker and I keep hearing from the dealer that is still at the vendor. I want my Jeep! Waiting sucks!
