Woo hoo happy days, Stu tells me my wheels are here and the spraypainter is working on the bonnet today, just might have it on tomorrow yet, that is if I don't run out of time trying to get a plug wired in for the boat trailer, very not happy jan with the sparky still leaving me in the lurch at the last minute. But it will all be good one way or another.

Good on ya Stu, that info made my whole week just that little bit better, and helped renew my faith in supplies of JSIN

So how's this for service. In desperation to get serviceable trailer lights happening, I call an unnamed Jeep dealership, somewhere near, say Albion for example. I tell them my sorry tale of woe and disappointment, and I get told "Yep , we can help, $500 and a brand new genuine part can be fitted, next week" so I proceed to re-explain the issue, that I only need the wiring loom. To which I get the , by now expected " yeah, we only sell it all together"
Hmmm what to do?
Being a thinker, I thinks to myself, "self, you should give Tom at Cricks a try, can't hurt"
I say " thanks Self , geez your a good bloke"

So I give Tom a call and the sob story, and as expected get the "sorry man, we can only sell them as a unit" , now let me interrupt this sorry saga of Non-Get, to bring especial focus to what happens next.....

Drum roll....


And then Tom "Damn Good Bloke" Phelan, of Crick's Automotive Group says " hold on mate, I'll see what I can work out for you, lemme give you a call back"

And this will blow your mind, if like me you have had a long association with car salesmen, ----- he DOES call back.

Not only does he call back, but he has a solution, and it's not going to cost me an arm or a leg.


But wait,... There's MORE.....


not only do I not get told Bugger off, not only does he engineer a cunning plan for a working solution to my instance of unhappy, and keep in mind the aforementioned happened over the course of Tuesday, but he arranges for the workshop to fit me in FIRST thing Wednesday morning.


I ask you what more could you ask for? First my sparky (who incidentally had been promising the work for FOUR (count them, 4) weeks to get it done), after being told, cough up $500 and wait a week and maybe we can help (anyone care to guess how much I'll spend with them?) , to " not a problem, we'll take care of it"

Now that's service.

Thanks Tom

Martin.

Hey Pete, I really like the bracket, super easy to fit and set up. I got mine second hand off jk forum as hd customs cannot be contacted, I think he may have gone out of business or is restructuring but I don't like your chances of getting hold of one. If you want and are close you are welcome to have a look at mine to copy?

Cheers

Martin

Thats a bit of a shame it looks like an awesome unit with the light and camera mounts as part of it. I found some more photos so might have a bit of a go designing something myself to see if i get something that's close
