What did you do to your TJ today?

Went to check on my TJ after 45 mph winds and wildfires starting everywhere yesterday. Still haven't driven it in a week because of spine issues. It was filthy and looked like crap. :(
p.s. Now I know how @John Cooper feels about the floor mats that @AndyG left him with (JK). ;) 🇺🇸

OK ordered a new Bestop replace-a top through Amazon on January 7th.... delivery was due January 30th which is usual for me.
Delivery was delayed 2 weeks and finally cleared customs here in New Zealand Feb 14th... 3 days later still no parcel..... Courier says give it a week so I waited.
A week went by and the tracker then said it was delivered, when t clearly wasn't :mad: Phoned the courier people who then said oops sorry your parcel is lost. we will need to fill in Insurance form so I did and waited again.

A week later got email saying that parcel has cleared customs and will be delivered... so I called courier and asked if this was true as they told me it was lost. yes, came the reply its on its way.

More promises went by still no parcel... I was calling the company daily at this stage as now its March and still nothing.
Finally delivered yesterday..... yesssssss.

Came home all excited to see my new Bestop roof....and..... Amazon sent me a f@cking Bestop Seat and not a roof !!!! 🤬.
So 2 and half months of waiting, delays, parcel being lost then found, filling in forms and countless phone calls......for nothing.

Now I have to call Amazon and explain everything to them and get another top ordered....I ordered it in the middle of Summer here so I can fit it on a hot day and now the days are cooling down.

I am pissed off.....Yes the above was the short version haha.
 
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s so funny it makes a tear run down my leg !

Sure that's not from being excessively moist?...

I was going to suggest it was possibly due to an age-related bladder control issue. Then I remembered my birfday's less than three weeks away and thought maybe I should just keep my dirty mouth shut... :D

I have too many horrible experiences with shipping to count, but I can't imagine how much more frustrating it is when you're on the other side of the world from the departure point! Arrrgggghhh!

yep...if I had waited 3 weeks to find out I was sent the wrong thing would have been bad enough... but not 10 weeks.
The local courier delays didn't help....its not like I was asking them to do something out of the ordinary, just deliver a parcel.
Between Amazon and the 4 local courier departments I was speaking with it was more like the Keystone Cops episode haha

If you order the roof now, you'll get the other seat in time for next summer 😆
 
Got home from work, pulled the Jeep in the garage and proceeded to remove the wheel spacers I put on to run the Grizzlies.

Then proceeded to empty and reload my Matco roll cart.

Both our Techs (technically parts changers) have moved on to greener pastures.

Monday I will be turning wrenches again, till we get some more hired in.
