my local Advance Auto had them in stock.

Yep. Kind of a pain in the ***.

Well the problem is that I live in the middle of nowhere. NAPA is the only car parts store within 45 minutes

They do, but it's cheaper and faster for me to get it from NAPA (usually) I took the part back to them and turns out it was packaged wrong, the correct part should be in tomorrow. They want $15 for the grommet that goes around the elbow though, so I said F that but no one else sells it so looks like I'm gunna go get ripped off on that as well. My jeep has also recently having idling issues, stalling and has been running like crap overall and my CEL came on last week, I crawled under and the wires on my o2 sensor are completely exposed and look burnt. So I hope a new o2 sensor fixes that.
