Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
It has already gone (cape lookout trip) from about $175 to $400+ for us. That's at today's prices. If it goes over $6, we may have to cancel. It's not just the fuel, but EVERYTHING is going crazy expensive. I fully expect the ferry price to double from $85 when we get there.

Got the engine back in. Will finish the headers, electrical, AC and cooling system and mount the winch & bumper this weekend.
Gotta bail on Charlotte Rigs & coffee - kinda bummed about that. But I'll make April, with a more complete vehicle :)
Gonna need a co-signer pretty soon. Just hit 4.39 here in WNC. Was 3.99 when I went home last night.
At 12 - 14 mpg this will be putting a damper on some of the longer trips we had planned.
I just changed all of mine a couple weeks ago. Made a huge difference in the ride. At 370k+ miles, it was an all-day job that I would not do again. You should probably think about it sooner than later, as I think it only gets harder as the fittings rust. Just my $.02.

My last 2 dogs were black labs. I got to hold George as he passed, like losing family after 15 yes. Hard to replace him. He helped raise my kids ( we were single parents).

I think I have the same CAD program.
It seems I have to use it for everything I want to upgrade because there is no aftermarket for the 2nd generation Explorer. Which is exactly why I chose the platform.
Nothing against Jeeps and Taco's, their popular because they are very capable machines. I...
Haha! I have one of those overland wives too! Never even knew it. :)
I was wondering about a new dog - lost my buddy after 15 yrs. I was debating on the breed, another Lab, or something else. Now I know! An overland!
Just poking fun. Great list - totally agree. :)

Hi Kenneth, Welcome to OB!
Glad to see another NC family on here. We're up in the mountains near TN border (Yancey County).
If you haven't seen the Charlotte Coffee & Rigs meetup yet, It's the 2nd Saturday each month. You should check it out. Get to meet likeminded people in our area.
