Checked local inventory’s in my neighborhood. They currently have 1 MT on the lot and 8 others in transit. They are overlands which I don’t want. I haven’t seen any rubicon MTs yet

So wait why would the bumpers be the problem? Is it the steel tariffs? It better not be...

they switched suppliers so there is a shortage of steel bumpers, i could not even order a front steel bumper when i ordered

 

[Jtny213]

I thought those were an option the steel bumpers? I ordered a rubicon but I didn’t ask for steel bumpers

So the back is steel but the front ain't unless you pick it.

Hey @Jtny213 this was more than interesting to read. For the one manual transmission Gladiator that they have on the lot is this a truck that was ordered and shipped for a customer or is that a truck that is for sale to any customer wanting to buy one? Same thing for the other 8 that are in transit? Love to know the dealerships name so I can call them. Thanks

4/22 order date, White Rubi with only a few options, did not order steel front bumper (after market bumper is already waiting in my living room)...dealer told me yesterday still in D (45 days now confirmed by chat today). Chat also gave me an estimated build date of 8/5 WTF...as far as I can see, I'm the earliest MT ordered on this thread. I escalated, but do not see any rhyme or reason to who gets built and who doesn't. My dealership's general manager is a former Jeep employee and even told me he pulled strings and "hot ticketed" my build, but apparently that was BS or he didn't have the pull he thought since there are other MT's being built and delivered ahead of mine. I'm beyond annoyed now...

it almost seams as if they built sports, then overlands and are then gonna do the rubi's to me

Yeah your dealer just placated you it seems. I would ask for some accessories or a discount in return for not rioting.
