New England B.S. Thread

Sounds about right. Still waiting to pull the trigger on the lift so I'll revisit this when that happens.

 

..Crap ..It's only Tuesday ..

 

Morning all. I just emailed my dealer to see about canceling my 2 door JL build . It has been 18 weeks as of yesterday with no real movement. The 2 doors have been just delayed and pushed back for the 4 door production as well as the JK, yup they were still making JK's till 4/26 I think it was. I also have been teaching out to all of the FCA and Jeep representatives I can, most are useless and just give canned answers while others just dont respond. The dealer is supposed to try and get me some "good" info on what I can expect from this point on if I stay with the order. Sorry for the rant.

 

Sounds like a jeep thing

 

Damn, that sucks. I did see a big thing about the last 4 door JK rolling off the assembly and it was around the 4/26 you said. Have they even started production on the 2 door JLs?

 

You wouldn't understand

 

Yes but very limited as of April 9th, supposedly they were doing less than 100 a week. There has also been huge transportation issues with the carriers and rail lines. Just an all around shit roll out by FCA. Complete failure

 

I understand your frustration, but what will cancelling (or threatening to cancel) your order accomplish?

 

I was at about $95 for 100 mb and cable tv through Spectrum for the first year. At that point I would have only saved $5 by dropping them. But, the price jumped to about $120, so I save $30 a month now.

 

Honestly, I dont know but it isn't a threat. I still have my 15 Sahara with less than 58k on it, so I dont need it or the bs that is coming with it. I keep holding on cause "I have waited this long, what if it happens this week". I just need some kind of real time table to make a decision

 

Could always just wait for the diesel option

 

As long as Fiat isn't making the engine...

 

Morning all! Happy Tuesday.
Wrangled the boat out of its winter parking spot this weekend. Ended up having to haul the trailer out on boards, so I had to stop every 6 feet and put a board in front of each wheel

Dismantled, cleaned, and repacked the wheel bearings, flushed the motor out and fired it up. Had to replace the bearing buddies; the PO had used some no-name polymer units that were all full of cracks, so when I popped the hubs apart I found a bunch of gray grease. New ones are stainless steel, so they should be good forever now. Had to fix some wiring that got squirrel- or mouse-chewed on the trailer over the winter, too. Got it registered last night after work, so once I pick up a drop hitch (the hitch on this truck sits a bit taller) she'll be ready to go for the season!

 

What year is that?

What is the hatch in the foredeck for? Never seen a design quite like that.

 

Hey same sh*t man
I had to extend the wire plug for the horse trailer, as the new truck is taller and the plug was a little short .
Good to go !

 

1966! Made right up the road in Madison; Corsons are everywhere in this area, and there's none at all outside of New England, it seems like. But around here, if we pick a random lake on a random day there's probably another Corson on it. I think we only went out twice last year without seeing another one.

I use it for access to the anchor, if I hook it to the bow. That's the only thing I can figure it was designed for. Handy if we've got three people fishing, too, since the floor underneath the hatch is flat.

Oh, I also use it if we beach for lunch, so I can hop ashore without getting my toesies wet.

 

That's cool
