The production line is rolling along now, got another update from my dealership! It's now at Schedule JB in the process. It's pretty neat to hear updates on the production progress!
"Good morning! Yesterday, the Gladiator was at “trim” meaning engine, trans, fuel tank, wheels and tires etc. Today it’s being shipped to the body vendor meaning body panels. It’s coming along!! "

Phew, sounds like all the mechanical components weren't installed on a Friday. Your body panelling is going to suck big though.

That was my thought.... "Must have been built on a Friday". I'll take that tradeoff, would much rather have a quality drivetrain assembly!
***edit***
It's just being shipped today, so hopefully the body install will start on Monday and it'll skip any work being done on Friday!

Another day, another update from the dealer! It has now shipped out, has to get loaded on a train in Toledo, Ohio and hauled out to Denver on July 8th. From there, they will unload off the train and onto a car carrier and truck it to Grand Junction, which is supposed to take another 4-7 days. As of now, it should be in Grand Junction at the dealer by July 17th!
Honestly, once they got the parts together and started on the build it went super quick!

I was at Chevron in Kaysville and watched a new one pull up to get gas and I went and talked to him. He owns Fat Bob's I think he said and already has a silver one on 40s. This new one is a loaded up white Rubicon. I liked it.

Saw a car hauler today on I-15 with two red ones. A sport and a Rubicon and then passed a black Rubicon in Bountiful today as well.

I saw a wrecked car transporter in Cheyenne this morning. Had a few Gladiators and the rest were JLU's on it...

Yeah, they're massive in person! I've test driven one and it does feel long. I did watch a video of one wheeling (in Big Bear, CA?) on some pretty rough terrain and even with a little lift and 35's, it looked long and low. It's going to be a whole new experience wheeling a Gladiator, IMO 3" lift and 37's are a good start for the rougher trails. Breakover and Overhang will make it interesting.

You’ve probably seen this, but Fred drove one up Hell’s Revenge with a sofa in the back.

Very few vehicles have the spread these gladiators do between how bad they look stock and how amazing they look lifted with proper tires.
