    @Matic So what are your thoughts on your Wrangler? My mom is thinking of getting into one after I graduate.

    Are they playing American football?
    I thought that was rare in French school, being primarily at ones with US military families.

    Dobinson’s coils and shocks. SOS sliders, ditch light brackets, and front skid. Rigid ditch lights. BFG KO(dos) More minor stuff.
    So a quick poll of opinions

    Sought out a supplier of aftermarket parts for their recommendations for my setup. Received a quote and asked a couple follow up questions to affirm I was getting the parts I needed.
    Ordered parts through an authorized supplier for a price break. Just supplied part numbers and ordered.
    Parts were installed myself but after install they were found not to achieve desired results.
    Contacted supplier and supplied original quote. At this point, it was confirmed I was given the wrong info. Lots of back and forth but in the end the result is they are swapping for correct part and preassembling the parts before shipping to me.
    I still have to install again costing me several hours of work.
    Question. Does this sound like an appropriate response by this supplier?

    I'm good with it. I mean the soft top isn't as noisy as most people make it.
    It doesn't wander, no death wobble, 20mpg mixed. The fan is loud as hell but there's a fix for it, just havnt had it in for service.

    Probably driving it home to Ohio tomorrow or Thursday. Got 20mpg hwy last trip.

    Seats are really nice. They are bolstered and as nice as my Scat pack seats.
    Sound system is tits.

    Yes, American Football. Each of their schools is affiliated with a “club/competitive” team. They have favorite NFL teams and players, watch espn, etc. They dont have an ounce of body fat between them, either.

    They are absolute athletes. Its funny since they keep my 14 year old Wrestler in check! :thumbsup:

    As long as you don’t have to pay more or twice than you originally did it seems right to me.

    So yes and no.. one depends on parts .. I have fire departments call me to order parts sometimes.. I offer my services but will decline.. they give me part numbers I order them and it becomes a same situation that wasn't right parts.. I then have to investigate it and order the correct parts after looking at situation. I have also ordered parts and it works out. Depending on the supplier and parts or even their knowledge on the parts you are ordering has a lot to.do with it. Typically though if you give part numbers least on my end I order what part numbers I'm given and don't ask questions because as a company money is money.. if you don't know what you are doing it's not my fault .. however if you have a conversation and ask many questions and give them information and they order wrong parts then that's them being incompetent
