Hehe get used to waiting with AEV. I'm surprised they didn't kill me with the number of times I called... haha. Worth the wait though - their work is impeccable.
I can hardly wait for their snorkel and lift!

It is tax return season, plus off roading starts taking off in the spring. Plus most industries are running pretty low inventories. This even applies to raw materials. Every one is counting on a recession. In some ways it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
For non-essential items impulse buying is a major factor. Having items on hand or at least ready to deliver fills the instant gratification part of the equation. Sales will be at least slightly lower if it takes too much time to get the stuff.
Plus Chrysler has finally gotten the wait time down on new JKs. Which means in the last 8 months there are about 60,000 new ones out there. A guy at work just got one in 2.5 weeks.

wish i could say the same... but i'm in the wait crowd too.
I kinda just dont let it bother me anymore, when it shows up, it shows up... sometimes its even faster than i expected.
its like waiting for the plumber, when you really need to "go".... the longer you wait, the longer it is... he gets there and your the last job for his day.
BUT...
if you get the mind set, to say "screw it" and "go about your business"... i bet you money that sucker shows up as soon as you get started.
and it works for anything... no matter what... waiting for a phone call, waiting for the pizza chick....
just DO.... go about your life... why waste time on something you cant do anything about....?
if your mother in law catches you and the ol' lady "playing with the duct tape" (or whatever you were putting off..) then WHOOPIEDOOOO...
Live life.... love you jeep... have fun while we are still able.
life is short, eat dessert first.
