A lot of Gladiator orders, including mine, have been on hold apparently because of a shortage of "winch-ready steel front bumpers." I was about ready to modify my order and buy an aftermarket bumper. But the bumpers must have come in because I now know of at least 8, including mine, that were...

It's great that the Postal is taking you on such scenic routes. The backroads are always more fun. I'm enjoying the photos and looking forward to lots of pix from the SOA National. Another Moab traffic update: I just heard dispatch tell the city officers that they are getting numerous...

I may have been wrong on the red dash thing. I just went to the Build & Price tool and the only thing that made the dash change to grey was switching to Dark Saddle leather. I could have sworn Gobi or Gator changed the dash color a few days ago. There are already instructions online about how...

Front and rear doors are identical to the JL. I'm not concerned about back seat comfort. In the past 20 years, there may have been 2 times when someone was in the back seat of one of my vehicles. That area is usually full of camera and/or rescue gear. I removed the back seats of my last 2...

The Overland does not have the red dash. It has a fancy padded grey dash. I drove a Rubicon and Overland at the Safari. The only ways I know of to prevent the dash from being red are to order Dark Saddle leather, an Overland, or one of the "late-availability" colors. I believe Gator and Gobi...

Ordered Billet Silver. I had a '13 Billet JKUR. I have no plans to mod it at this point. Will drive it stock and see what it needs, if anything. I do plan to add some type of shell, perhaps the softshell that Bestop is coming out with. I had originally planned to order a body-colored top...

Ordering opened yesterday for the Gladiator. I ordered a Rubicon this morning from a nearby dealer. Several dealers with whom I spoke were sticking to MSRP and some were even selling for 10% over MSRP. I got Affiliate pricing (below invoice) so color me happy.

Welcome to the new normal. I think a lot of people have been advised to avoid the crowds during Jeep Safari so they crowd into town before or afterwards.

You escaped from Moab just in time. Dispatch just said they received a call from the Sand Flats booth saying traffic was backed up all the way down the hill and they were getting complaints about traffic jams on Hell's Revenge. Welcome to the new Moab.

Saw this really nice Postal across the street from where I was doing traffic control for the Safari this morning. The driver was probably at the Moab Diner.

Hope you win something at the raffle. I wish they were raffling off a new Gladiator like they've done with JK's a couple of times. The Scrambler and I will be working the Walker Drug parking lot exits during the mass departation in the morning (same parking lot where the Jeep display has...

Hey...I recognize that Scrambler. But I thought Moabite's name was Frank...not Fred. Was great talking with you too, Erin.

Nena is renting Gladiators already? Do you know if she is just doing it for this week or are they now part of her rental fleet? The photo of the silver one at the shop (which is exactly like the one I plan to order) looks like it might have Michigan plates. I still have not actually seen a...

My idea of lunch during Jeep Safari is grabbing a California Club or Righteous Italian from the south Maverick. Otherwise, I'd probably starve while waiting in line somewhere. I drove by Milt's at lunchtime the other day and it was absurdly crowded. Sounds like we may be out at the vendor...

Beautiful day today but still a bunch of snow at anything over about 6000 feet. Forecast is for sun and high 60s-low 70s next week...with the exception of Tuesday. I'm still hoping to meet with some folks from this forum. The Scrambler and I will be in town Thursday most of the day when I...

Five inches of heavy snow at my place today and still coming down. There was snow about half way down the Moab Rim when I was in town earlier. It was 83 degrees in town Monday. Current image from my weather cam:

Well color me extremely surprised. After the considerable amount of effort FCA put forth to distance the Gladiator from the Scrambler, they dress up a slightly modified Gladiator as a "Scrambler." I'm looking forward to seeing the convoy of concepts roll into town in a few days. But just when...

I'd be extremely surprised if that is one of the concepts since FCA has been trying to distance the Gladiator from the Scrambler. And it's certainly not very "conceptual."

I got an email from Jeep this morning inviting me to order the Launch Edition on April 3, a day before what is supposed to be the only day on which they will accept orders for that edition of 4190 vehicles. At $62,310, I'll pass...though you also get a chance to win $100,000. Pricing for...

I just saw that article from Motor Trend that shows an estimate of $44K for a base Rubicon and $56K as tested. If that is true, it's great news and I'm in. Now I need to find out how much of a delay there will be if I want one of the colors listed as "late availability." And here's probably...
