NACHO Gladiator club

[NachoRuby]

Here's mine! At the dealership today, I saw a JL Wrangler Rubicon in the same color too, and it was a 6mt like mine as well. The new owners were picking up today. I also see a nacho Willys around town every now and then as well.

I offically joined the Nacho club today. I drove a well equiped Rubicon off the lot (well showroom actually) for approximately 8% below invoice.

Hello there how much of a discount when u get 8% below invoice. Seems like they dont want to give any extra discounts around my area. Rockford Illinois. What do i need to tell them to get extra discounts?

I got lucky. This one had sat on their lot for a while, and just hadn't sold. In my area a good 90% or the JLs and JTs have painted fenders & tops, so anything without that is a lame duck. That helped. It also helps it's late in the model year.

In my case it was simply the advertised Internet price. $54K MSRP, listed at $47K out the door. No haggling, I just walked in and out within 2 hours including test driving, sales, and financing (brought my own financing). I did have to drive 1.5 hours to this dealership, so I spent more time traveling there and back than I did at the dealer

Does everyone else with a Nacho Rubicon have grey/silver dash panels instead of red like the other color Rubicons have? I'm Just wondering if I'm missing something. Maybe a parts shortage in red? I don't think I mind the grey, I'm just wondering.

Nope, you’re not alone. I’ve got a Rubicon, with cloth seats, and mine came with a gray dash.

I actually prefer the gray dash. I feel like the red one would clash too much.

Thanks for confirming. I feel the same as you about the dash. Maybe FCA/Jeep/Stellantis felt the same as us haha. That's a good looking jeep you got there. I'm a little biased though.

Joined the Nacho club a few days back. Bare bones Sport, all manual (windows, doors, trans). Only options are matte grille, bedliner, sidesteps, trailer hitch. Glad to be here and excited to get started

Looking good. Manual transmission owners unite!

Yes, glad there is a club to unite with! Am I alone in the all manual everything club?

I was almost with you. I wanted a white Willys Sport with all Manual everything, but my wife didn't want to do manual doors with kids that won't remember to lock them. It's still on the lot, so someone will join you. By the way, our other car is a manual transmission 2018 compass (the newer body style). I think it's the only one I've ever seen.

Yeah, I wanted into a Gladiator after years away from a Jeep. I had a budget and stuck to it despite much temptation. I was afraid once I started adding things it was a slippery slope (I know myself). Love it so far, the doors are a bit of a PITA but a small price to get back into it. Plus, in a better position to do some mods I like over time. I bet the white Willys was a great white/black look too, but Nacho was the way to go!

All manual hear. I love it too

My 2008 JK Unlimited is all manual (windows, door locks, transmission). Complete base model.

I love the 6 speed, and I rarely have the doors on, so the lack of power windows/locks isn’t a big deal.

For my gladiator I wanted something different. Something my wife could drive (she’s too short to fully depress the clutch pedal on our JK), and something that was easier to drive in traffic. So this time around I went with an automatic transmission, and specifically the Rubicon with a few nice features like cold weather group (remote start) and blind spot detection - night and day difference compared to my JK.

I love that Jeep still offers a 6 speed, but it just didn’t make sense for me on this purchase.
