Finally got it home after dark last night. About an hours drive away in Roanoke Va.
It makes my shop look bad now.
I'm gonna have to clean it up.

What an awesome color combo you got there! You sure that’s not red? Looks red in the pictures……

Curious, do you think these will sell off the lots quick, or sit around like many other gladiators? I would like to see one or the other, nothing in the middle. If they fly out the door, it means another pumpkin run is likely. If they sit and go no where I might be able to get a good deal on a 23 Pumpkin next spring.

Uh, pure speculation here, but if I was pressed to predict the future, I’d say that this Punk’n run will be a short run due to the strike and those that got loose or are waiting to be finished will be fewer in comparison to what they could have been. As for the public’s favor, we’ll I’m seeing a lot of orange paint on other brands and even noticed an orange VW or Audi the other day. So, it seems pretty hip for the moment. Thus, I suspect whatever makes it into the wild will get scarfed up and quick. In terms of bringing it back, we’ll maybe, but I just think there are too many other popular limited release colors sitting on the bench waiting to come into the game (I.e. Nacho, Chief, Bikini, Inca Gold, Mojito, etc.). Of coarse, none of us can predict Jeep’s paint supply or order commitments, so maybe they force it into ‘24 if they are obligated or can’t unload it through inner-company transactions.

However, what I can say is that I remember reading about a year ago about Punk’n’s availability opening up around this August in Mopar Insider and thinking then about what a crushing wait that was and how far out they had that planned. So, I ask you, why wouldn’t they already have new limited colors already planned for ’24? Last I knew, nothing limited had been announced, but it just makes sense to me that they likely already have a plan in spite of the strike. Just my $.02’s.

I am looking forward to going back to the 33 Falkens on my ordered Punk'n especially after seeing this. The 35MTs on my Sarge Mojave don't look as good as this, (to me, I know), and less power, mpg, on road drivability, etc too. I think the 33s make it look more lifted than 35s without a lift too. Thanks for the pic Pedal Medal.

Mine went from a 10/11 delivery to "TBD" status yesterday.

For my Ram and our Gladiator, when it went from a date to TBD, it meant it was at the dealer. You may want to check with them if its been a few days and its still showing TBD. Mine is sitting at Gupton right now and the tracker says KZM - Shipped status with a TBD delivery.

Its for sure one of those colors that seems to change with the light. It almost looks red in the dark or low light. However, its unmistakably orange in bright light and sun. Yours looks almost identical to my spec except that we have the painted fenders.

Man, I am getting itchy to get ours! Its at the dealer, but we have an 8hr drive from OH to TN to pick it up. We have a Jeep Jamboree in the JK down that way in two weeks and are going to snag the Mojave on the way down.

Tell us more about how it’s configured! Looks very nice And would like more pics! built my exterior the same way with the black fenders and black roof, I like the contrast to break up the orange a bit. I wanted to avoid issues down the road so i know taking off the roof over time will cause issues with paint. Fenders are even more likely (for my use) to get beat up on trees and rocks while trailing based off my previous Rigs. Not to mention parking lot damage with all the blue hairs down here that fling open their doors with no regard to whats next to them! This pic really makes me excited to hopefully get mine soon!

Technically, I don't have it in my hands yet, but got some pics of the JT from Gupton today. We head down from OH to TN to pick it up on Tues 10/17. I can't say enough good things about the dealer experience with Gupton so far. So glad I found out about them on this forum!

Great looking. The black fenders and blacktop really set it off. Am my opinion, painted hardtop and painted fenders. Looks terrible on pretty much any color. Needs the contrast.
