Is that Lithia? or did you drive to Carson?

Maybe they just should have just swapped in the entire new rear complete axle and called it a day

This.
I understand not robbing parts from it. However if they sent a complete axel by mistake then install the fucker and get the customer out of your hair.

I had the same thought. Jeep wouldn’t let them. The dealer would have come out of pocket on it. I also asked if I could pay the difference for a 60.

Lithia. I won’t go to the Carson dealer ever again…to buy or to service.

Good to know

Well, Jeep literally sent a complete rear axle housing with all internals, then refused to allow the dealer just to swap it across. So, I’m back to my old blinking status until Jeep sends a “partial” axle setup that only has the diff and stuff.

That is just so fuckin stupid.

If you get a check engine light, maybe they’ll send you a 392…

Ha! I’d welcome the light in that case.

Sorry to hear about the issues, hopefully they will get you fixed up soon. Do you have an ETA on when the new one will arrive?

Probably a few weeks. Not too bad. The JT is still drivable.

Should have my quote within a couple of days for a custom aluminum, rectangular tube, 3/4 height rack for the JT. Very excited to finally move part of this project forward.

That’s cool, is a local fab shop doing it?

Yes, in Boise. They sell RTT’s and other stuff and have a shop that makes custom racks for tents. We spent some time talking about the pros and cons of steel v aluminum, rectangle v round, different heights, etc. The fab guy seemed to know what he was talking about.

Should be doing a test fit on the rough rack on Thursday afternoon. My iKamper 3.0 Mini arrived too. Get excited to see it all come together.

 

[Sharkey]

Got my custom aluminum rack back from powder coat and got the RTT mounted. I’m very happy with how it turned out. I can fit the fridge under it but the entire tent is not above the roof line.

I’m just starting to figure out where I want a bunch of various lights mounted. I hope to get them wired and do a solo trip this weekend.
