Saw Justin a couple weeks ago with doors and top off looking all chilled out as he was heading west on 72. Finally got a return Jeep Wave from someone.

Also saw Jason's old Yellow JKU (90+ % certain) at the Cadillac dealership - don't know how long it was there, but the next day when I drove by to take a closer look, it was gone. Bumper, lift, tires, wheels all looked the same.
Jewelry store??? Me??? I must have an evil twin. Hmmmmm.

Default Jeep still at Landers

I know it has been awhile since I frequented the thread but Im still alive.
Rubicon has been at landers for 4 weeks now. YES, 4 weeks.
Started out with the TIPM needing replaced, that alone took 2 weeks. Then went to pick it up and it was still throwing engine codes before even pulling off the lot. Would think they would check this before saying it's done. NOPE. Then it has taken another two weeks to figure out why. Turns out something in the guage cluster has been continuously drawing power. So now I have to wait while they give Chrylser the VIN and odometer readings and for a new cluster to be sent.
Supposed to get it out of the shop on Thursday. Will see.
Overall has been a horrific experience with the dealership. How it takes 4 weeks to sort through an issue is beyond me.
Oh, and they offered me a rental for two days since that is all my extended warranty company will pay for.

Hey there our neighbors to the north...

Any of you guys happen to have a spare rubi RH rear axle shaft laying around?

I sheared my splines off mine this weekend @ Choccolocco on Boat Ramp

He still slips out - just doesn't always publicize his activities.

More trails in his future soon. Give me a buzz when you guys have something planned.

Probably. Anyone know what an AEV hood ships for - that's why I threw in an extra couple hundred or so?

Sorry to hear this Steve - hopefully all will be resolved soon.

This one doesn't look bad - Denny's right about adding some black for contrast.

That's what friends do. BTW, thanks for noticing my good dental hygiene.
