Still in the shop for ESS, PCM, Cat, Injector. It's been there since Dec 13th and the eta on an injector is now mid March. There are apparently 198 JTD waiting on injectors.

I think it's just time for jeep to find me another JTRD
Yeah, Jeep is extremely slow in getting parts out to repair stuff. I am still waiting on my new hard top (old one still has water in it even after re-sealing the rear window). Was promised end of January but now am told late March sometime. The dealership has one that's been sitting for over a month with only 300 miles on it because a mouse chewed through some wiring harness and it won't run. They cannot get the wiring harness in short order...back ordered still...

Do some searching on the Ford, GM, Chevy and other forums - it's not Jeep. There are others with other makes who have been waiting weeks and longer. It's not Jeep (and yet when one owns a Jeep and is waiting for parts, that's how it feels)
I can't get wiring harnesses I need for my business - I was told by two vendors who sell these that the factory will be shipping out more.................. in JULY. So that means once I've used up the supply I have, customers will be waiting for 5 months for windshield wipers. Ford people are waiting for engine parts, GM owners complaining about various common maintenance parts.

Shopping - loaded up on cat food, cat litter, wild bird food, bottled water - all on sale. It rode better with all that weight in the back. Then we went out to eat lunch at HuHot for my birthday.

It was 68 degrees yesterday, so I drove a section of the SCAR. I had the top down and windows open for the trail sections. Mostly paved with some gravel/dirt stretches, but I did find some mud :like:

I had to chuckle a bit as your posted reminded me of what I used to tell my sons when they were young - "if there's mud, you two will find it" (or make it)

Went on another desert cleanup with some of my Jeep group friends. Had a good time and filled up the JT with trash. An organization sets up a cleanup quarterly in different locations and provides cleaning supplies, dumpsters and lunch.

This is a great idea. This is what tree huggers need to see to show that we're not destroying the lands we wheel on. The next time we go wheeling, I'm definitely doing this. Luckily, the trails and offroad park where we ride usually don't have near this much debris. Nice job. :like:
