    Lol to clarify, it’s not all flowers and sunshine. We are staying at my girlfriends parents place in Saint Petersburg, and I did have to go get a job yesterday since my trip pretty much drained my wallet dry. But it is nice down here so I’m looking forward to spending some time enjoying not shoveling snow :)

    Last I heard you were headed to Michigan in a Subaru.

    Where's the truck?
    Did y'all make it to Michigan?
    Back to Tennessee before Florida?
    No pics of the journey?

    Nutshell version, we went to Michigan in the Subaru, decided not to buy a house yet, went back to Tennessee for thanksgiving, now I’m Florida, headed to NY next week to see some friends, then back to Tennessee for Christmas, and then moving our stuff to Florida. Truck is still without a rear axle... I bought one from a stand up dude from Denver, trying to work out shipping on that. Hopefully I can get it back together before the new year so I can use my truck to move. It’s been pretty hectic so I don’t have too many fun pictures but here’s one from Harry Potter world yesterday lol

Spent the day pulling the old axle out and welding some new @ARCHIVE shock mounts to the new one. Hopefully by tomorrow I will have it all back together! Even got my dad out here working lol.

    My baby is back up and running!!! New axle is in and works great! It looks way nicer than the rest of my truck :D. Should have no problem getting me and all my crap to Florida next week. By the way... is there even anywhere decent to wheel in Florida or am I going to be bored out of my mind for the next year?

    When the waitress asks twice and the chef peeks over and also asks, you should have known what you were getting into. :rofl:
