Yeah from the maps I found online there are quite a few good trails out there. I was just gonna do the easy one Espinosa Trail. Bronco Flats looks fun, but I'd want to go out with people who know what they're doing.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 12:05 pmI've wheeled and camped there.

Dang. I didn't know that was happening out in Joshua Tree. Sucks.
Looked the area up, and it's the Cleveland National Forest (wut) so yeah, that's why it was closed off. Bummer. But we should get more rain in a few weeks and hopefully the shutdown is over by then.

Yea, definitely go out with someone else that knows their way around. It's REALLY easy to get lost out there.

mine did that so often. its SUPER weird. I dont think it was 100% of the time either, more like 75%. I legit wondered if the PO just NEVER used it before or it was a poor design.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 11:01 am Anyways, dropped the off for diller things today.
#1) Freedom top leak @ B-pillar on both sides.
#2) Radiator leak, driver side of radiator.
#3) Driver side axle seal leak.
#4) Stiff turn signal, hard to disengage once engaged.
Let's see how this goes.

I noticed it when I drove the 2015 we have here on the lot, back to back with mine.
Stupid complaint but valid.

So all they got to was the "water leaks" today? Estimated repair time for the other items or diagnosis ?[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 4:50 pmI didn’t request one - first loaner was an additional 2 weeks out.
I work at a dealer and have my own tag, it’s nbd.

They'll start looking at the other items in two weeks when the seals they had to order for the water leaks show up.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 4:51 pmSo all they got to was the "water leaks" today?

Zil's Jeep is now sitting at the back of the lot collecting dust behind the taillights for a few weeks.

Yea this is meaningless to me since GM provides better service in Detroit apparently than Audi+BMW+MB here combined. So "brand" is irrelevant from an upper echelon perspective. Interestingly enough Lexus out here seems to be REALLY good, of course no one in my friends/family circle has one.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 5:10 pmThis dealer also does Lotus.max225 wrote:So far you went +2 over my BMW service experience.

Would probably need hole covers in the JK like the JL has to be comfortable.
