. Yes, the visa process was abit daunting, needed quite abit of extra paperwork since I was taking my car across the border, but once I had everything, it was approved in ~24 hours. You have to use a visa service in Dubai (~$65 total) which made things alot easier. May be a good option if the Saudi embassy in the US isn't too helpful.

Matthew. I had originally given up trying to visit the Kingdom, but the intrepid FTer's like yourself gave me hope

Thank you,
König. 2-3 cars/trucks a minute, so not too bad, enough to hitch a ride if I needed anyway
