Couple goodies going to find themselves onboard soon.
To anyone that has may know, if I mount the winch, would I still be able to remove the grille? Or would the winch get in the way? My headlights may need extra hardware so I want to wait for that but itching to mount the Warn winch

Yes, it could certainly be worse. Used to waiting....Do I get to restart the time clock? LMAO..

Gladiator is pretty nice. Does not seem to ride as well as the JLURD In my opinion. Miss the larger interior space but throwing the mountain bike in the back this morning was pretty cool and easy.

Do you notice a major power difference between the gladiator and your JL?

Having just finished mounting 5x Patagonias on beadlocks, I can understand why any shop would charge a pretty penny to do it. Very time consuming to do it right.
I think I would still prefer to do it myself, I have very little faith in most dealers, for most is the mighty dollar that dictates care and service, they will probably just install them in a time saving manner and a but less care on pattern when bolting it on and doing it in steps as most manufactures indicate. I did not opted for beadlocks fro the Jeep, but I did installed 2 sets in the Can Am and they were time consuming, but after a couple beers the wheels on the Can am were installed, it feels great to know time and effort was not spared.
Nothing againts anyone that decides to have a dealer do it, but I cant even trust them to do a damn oil change LOL

I hear you. I’ve got Northridge4x4 doing the install. I’m trusting they’ll do it right. But none of my local shops are going to get within 250’ of my rig once I get it. They’re mostly a bunch of hacks.

Looks great! I didn't realize until now that the order guide for April doesn't show the 3.0 liter diesel!!?? I'm hoping I didn't wait to long. Dealer doesn't have a clue about it either. Great Jeep, hope you enjoy it for a long time.

The April 17, 2020 Order Guide has the diesel engine option on the 4-door. Perhaps you looked at the 2-door Order Guide.

EDIT: I looked closer. In the April Order Guide, the diesel is available on Sport and Sahara models, but the diesel engine is NOT available on the Rubicon!
