Sounds way more exciting than it really is.
August, 2015. Wife and I go to dealership, scoop up a brand new '15 JKU. Dealer guy exclaims how much it sucks that there's no tool kit that comes with the hardtop Jeeps. Whatever.
Get home. take a closer look at the window sticker. General section has it listed as the very first thing to come with the Jeep. Eh?
Find this nifty forum on the innerwebs about Jeep Wranglers
Discover that the tool kit is now coming with most Jeeps. Awesome!
Call up dealership, receive various reactions of confusion and, "well, we don't have them, but we will see what we can do."
Just in case, call Jeep directly. Very nice lady since that has been consistently getting a hold of me to check up on the progress of receiving the tool kit. She keeps hounding the dealership service and parts department to get this whole thing settled.
Last week, I'm notified that the tool kit is on it's way. Hooray!
I get it yesterday. Eagerly opening the Mopar stamped box, I first discover a pair of gloves. Winching gloves. Hey, these are neat, didn't know they came with the freakin Torx wrenches. Then I get the shackles. And finally, the tow rope. Mild flashbacks of being in Korea and self recovering my truck begin.
Waiting for Jeep to call back, and trying to figure out what to say. While it's neat to have this recovery kit, should I just keep it, and go buy a stupid set of sockets from Autozone? Or do I keep pressing forward on principle that the damned tool kit was supposed to be there to begin with, and I should have it?
