    The first day was pretty miserable. It was raining the entire drive. Today is sunny and beautiful, zero humidity, and we're out of the Alabama hills and on flat ground which is saving us a ton of gas.

    There is nothing here. Cows. Fields. Windmills. And it's flat.

    Thought I was having tire balance issues along the trip, swapped in my spare early this morning, no difference. Stuck my GoPro under the truck and it is drive shaft vibration. Going to destroy my carrier bearing. Took 1 washer out and it got less violent. Drove 2 hours and decided to pull the second washer out. Even less vibration, but I only expect it to keep getting worse.

    After installing the one piece driveshaft, I didn't have any vibrations, but with it loaded for all the Moab gear, I have a small vibration.

    We're about to the west side of Texas. @justinalldredge19 wants to run through through Colorado on the way so we're taking a slightly different path. We should be in Moab around the same time the others arrive though.
