Coming along nicely I see. Looks good! Hot Springs is a good time, been there several times in the past. Need to get back down that way again.

Uhhh, your top turned black???Bought Joyride from Gupton late last summer. Actually picked up at the same time as @IAJeepguy, which was pretty cool - got to compare builds and let our wives chit-chat for a bit.
This is when I picked her up - the build thread is in the signature.
As she sits today (this was on Fun Run at Hot Springs OHV. The camera was held level...)
This weekend the top comes off and I have Alien Sunshades, Diver Down seat covers, and a MOPAR steel front bumper with Rockhard4x4 bull bar to put on.
Let me know about the install of the Subshades and your Diver Down's. Installing both soon.

It did - I actually wanted black, but the Sahara Altitude package included the body color. Found someone locally to swap tops with me.
We straight up pulled into a Bass Pro Shops parking lot and just traded tops - I'm sure someone saw it and couldn't figure out how we just swapped like that.
The black looks SOOOOO much better on the Hydro, IMO.

And one more truck showed up today. I feel bad for the next person going to pick up and being asked by The Forum to get pictures of one out of 300 or so Jeeps...

Yep, well according to JC mine was on today's truckload but no word from Renee yet - I can imagine how busy they are - and with 300+ Jeeps on the lot, "Ain't nobody got time for that!"
By the way, JeepChat can see a heck of a lot more info than they give us. Each time I communicate with them I'm always pleasant and I ask them for "one more thing", like the date it was built, or the date it rolled out of the Mopar Accessories Shop, stuff like that. Today JC said that "Your granite Rubicon was definitely on the truck that arrived *today* at your dealership, Gupton in Springfield, TN". I didn't tell them what model or color or dealer, they can see that stuff...

That's great yours showed.
I spoke in length with Renee when I picked mine up about all the orders. She is a sweetheart under a mountain of ongoing, seemingly never-ending work & stress.
Remember, not only the 300+ on the lot for delivery, they have many, many hundreds of others on order.
The day I was there I think they delivered 7 or 8. So take that figure into 300.
300 ÷ (8x5) and it says it should take over 7 solid weeks going full bore just to the clear what's on the lot now.
And a new customer would take a lot longer than I did. Explain stuff, setting things up, financing, fine tooth combing it, etc.
What I can tell you is she typically won't get the report of what came in until they are all checked in which is usually the next day. Also remember her and Daniel are both off on Wednesdays.
If yours made it today, I'm guessing you will get the call tommorrow. If you can avoid a Saturday pickup, that will save you a lot of waiting. For me I did Thursday and Tuesday. No waiting at all.
I do know one of the hardest parts of her job is telling people it will be a bit before they can pick it up. We are all impatient beings.

On the quote from Gupton's, it is stated they must collect local county business tax regardless of your state of residency. Is this local tax significant... or an incidental amount?

This is incorrect, as in for all states. Both times I've left their place with one single sheet of paper, the signed buyers order. Once they process the COO paperwork on their end, they FedEx it to you with a postage paid envelope. After you go to your local license office and get your plates and pay your taxes, you send a copy of the paperwork back to them so they can file it with the State of TN, showing taxes were paid.
Your particular state may be one that requires they collect, there are a few I've heard, but trust me, they won't unless they have too.
Just check in with Daniel via email. He will clarify.
There were 4 numbers on both my orders paperwork. Sales price, less deposit, plus $499 DOC + $7.50 driveaway tag.
