The more of you guys who cave in to your “immediate gratification impulse” and change color... the fewer Granite LE’s there’ll be in the LE queue... I’ll get mine sooner!
Hell yeah! Please convince all the other GCM LE guys to switch colors too! ❤;{

I started to make a pretty clever, “inspirational”, emotional, video about my Cowboy grandad’s Gladiator... and his own personal “Gladiator” ethos... then, as I was scrambling to make time to write, shoot, and edit, by submission date... it occurred to me, they don’t want a clever video from a crusty old Cowboy about his crustier ol’ Cowboy Grampa... they want an “inspirational” video by a millennial “overlander” so they can use it to appeal to the overlanding market, and sell more Gladiators! Duh! ;{

The world wants to phase us out, so, just have as much fun as you can, and don’t worry about it.:rock::like:

I’m sure the GCM LE will be a low number. So, early congrats to you guys!

Ya know, I was ponderin’ why the big delay on LE’s... waiting for the paint didn’t make sense to me... (except for their stupid “Late Availability” marketing ploys) then it occurred to me, the leather wrapped, Rubi stitched, dash is included in the LE package... now that might be a labor intensive, time consuming, project! One they normally only do for Saharas, (Overlanders), and then, I think it’s still an option... so the percentage of leather dashes produced, in normal production, might be fairly low? Cranking out 4190 might be a task worthy of doing a specific LE run, once the 41 hundred leather dashes were ready!
(Combined of course, with their ridiculous “late release colors” marketing manipulations!) ;{

I figure it will go to someone in the military for sure. Can’t compete with that. So I just explained how for the past 20 plus years I have owned 7 Jeeps.. get a Jeep, love it, pimp it out, 2 -3 years later, need a truck. Sell Jeep, buy truck, 2-3 years later, missing the Jeep so sell truck and buy another Jeep. Wash rinse repeat.. no joke. So the Gladiator is the fuc&$ng solution to my life equation!!

Deposit given and pre-order unit customized on April 27th. VIN provided today, although I think they had it earlier this week. Serial 114111. Now to watch and wait the build process. Being a 'pre-order' dealer unit it should be on the lot well before the custom orders since our window does not open for almost another week in Ontario. Fingers crossed.
