So I've been home pretty much all day (Jeep was in the shop) and I checked my UPS tracking # and it said that my new skimmer should be delivered to my house today :mrgreen:

So all day I've been waiting and waiting, I got real excited once when the dogs started barking like crazy but it turned out to be Steve's uncle dropping off some stuff for him.

So just before 5pm the dealership calls and says my jeep's ready, yay I get my jeep back. So as I'm about to leave to go pick it up I start to think "How much do ya want to bet UPS will show up in the 20min.'s I'm going to be gone for" Murphy's Law right?

WRONG (for once in my life anyway) basically as I'm getting closer to my house I see a large truck in front of it "S*it, I bet that's them" so I quickly pull in front of the truck (blocking them so they can't leave) and woohoo I got my new skimmer :mrgreen: Pic.'s to follow shortly. (I will post pic.'s in the pic. section)

:lol: Nice try, although (sadly enough), the skimmer was only a $100 less then the jeep repairs!

OK, well now you have a jeep that runs like a cadillac and a cadillac of skimmers.
