Greetings All,
just wanted to vent my frustration here on the ordering process for my Jeep Wrangler here in Sydney. I ordered my 2 door Wrangler back in March this year, and provided the dealership with a list of additions that I wanted to have added, which included: tow bar, slush mats, air reflectors, sill guards, vehicle cover and dash cam.
I understand that we have to wait several months for orders to Australia, due to the logistics involved. And recent lock downs and stay at home orders have not helped at all.
I just received a call from the dealership advising that they are unable to supply a genuine Mopar tow bar, and will have to install a Hayman Reese tow bar which will involve some cutting to the vehicle to install! I am moving to the country in a few weeks, so I have no choice but to have the non-genuine tow bar installed.
A question for @JeepCares: Why are no backup stocks of accessories kept in Australia? I would have thought that a tow bar would be a basic requirement when ordering a new Jeep - especially here in Australia! I called the company that fits these Hayman Reese tow bars in Sydney and they tell me that they have fitted 5 of these tow bars to new Wranglers - in just the past couple of weeks! Not including my JL! Does the fitting of a non-Mopar tow bar affect warranty, or anything else that I am not aware of?
Thanks!
