Yes that would be the thread... and while everyone said it was fun, everyone agreed the carnage wasn’t worth it... 4 miles traveled in one day... and this year is going to be even worse due to the late blizzards
No it’s going to be a few weeks. Waiting on some money to come in next month, then I need to order the parts... I want to get Kallie a bumper and winch for her 4Runner, but I can’t let her know I’m getting it. It’s going to be her B-Day present
