Gupton custom order timeline

[Marine2146]

What? Gupton? Whats your build....did you talk to Daniel.....

What’s your build consist of?

Yes from Gupton, it’s been in and out of D1 a time or two. Daniel has answered all my emails within a few minutes any time I ask for an update, I only check up on it with Daniel about every two weeks. I know it’s out of Gupton’s hands so there’s no reason to get worked up and take it out on them. Last I heard from Daniel it’s supposed to ship out on 10/1, I doubt that’s gonna happen if it hasn’t been built yet. It missed the last ship date if 9/1.

Mine was earlier this summer but it arrived on Sunday night, Daniel let me know on Tuesday AM (mine was one of *forty-five* that he received one weekend) and I picked it up that Saturday.

To be courteous and accommodating, I picked a day a full week after it arrived to give them ample time to prep the rig and get my paperwork squared away. I will say when I was 30, that would have been hard for me to wait that week.

Mine should be an extremely easy transaction. I'm paying cash and don't want any extras.

That eliminates all the F&I mumbo-jumbo, credit apps, etc. It should be a 10 min F&I visit.

I honestly think Daniel is feeling a little sorry for me because of the extended delivery time I waited, pretty much without bothering him much at all.

I'm pretty sure both he and Renee are off Wednesdays, or at least they were the day I called. Because of that you might want to avoid requesting a Wednesday pickup. They are a small staff, so there might be a long wait on Wednesdays.

Good luck.

Mines due to be delivered maybe today but def this week. Had this very email conversation with Daniel yesterday. Asked Daniel to shoot me a pic when it gets there. Without me asking he said, if it does come this week, no way he could have it ready to take delivery this week. I know what everyone's thinking. Not much prep but the shear volume that Gupton is pushing is huge. This week they are no doubt getting the ones that arrived last week ready for folks to take them home. I have seen some guys have there's delivered to Gupton and they pick it up the next day. Probably insisting. I've waiting since 5/15. I can wait another week. I'm flying in cheap on Allegiant. They fly on Thursday and Sundays. Next weekends already a 3 day weekend. I'll take next Thursday and Friday off, fly in Thursday evening, in and out with all paperwork done (No I don't want Gap coverage or an extended warranty and no I'm not financing my sales tax). Make a long weekend of it and slow roll back to Arky. Short answer. They're so busy a quick turnaround is tough. Usually the next week but I bet if you really had to have it quicker it could happen.

Ditto, I'm not built yet, but assuming with a 9/20 order it will be sometime late November (hopefully not Thanksgiving). Direct fly from CHS, take my time through the mountains coming back.

Not trying to change the direction of the thread but does anyone know if finished vehicles are shipped to Gupton via truck only or rail and then truck? My order placed on 8/20 is showing build complete and moved to storage and awaiting shipping.

It's very much part of this thread - so you are in the right place. I'm exactly on the same status as you. Ordered 08/17 and the last message i got from the chat was:

Someone else mentioned that it could be upto 30 days from this state to getting to the dealer lot. Not sure about the truck-rail combo.

 

[Jfmoore79]

Ugh…lets hope its not that long! But I learned to expect the worst

I will clarify with Daniel tommorrow, but I think they truck them directly to Gupton.

Ok, just throwing this out there - I ordered 10 days ago........I know it hasn't been built or even scheduled yet, but it has a VIN. What are the chances you can change colors without losing a deposit?

your best bet is emailing the dealer and asking. I wouldnt get my hopes up if I were you though.

There are so many folks that have been in your space, me included, second guessing color. Unless there is some pressing reason for a change (spouse) I would stay the course. Usually ones first choice is ones best….

Believe me, and yes I made a call to the dealer,it is mental gymnastics through the process. But so worth it driving that new Jeep off the lot in the color you fell for when you first saw it.

Beautiful response that's so true. First love wins all day long!
