I'm just a couple of hours south and would love to meet up. When will this be happening?

Sadly I don't think I'll see you on the trail. I had to submit to paying a shop to do the work I needed on my Jeep and they're not starting until tomorrow. After that I've got another few weeks worth of prep work before I can leave. So I'm probably looking at late September before I hit the...

I've actually have a sister in IN just west of Louisville, though we haven't spoken in nine years and I'd be more inclined to take you up on the offer than stay with her...lol Thank you Motoboss for the amazing and generous offer!

Wow! Generous offer Mike! I really appreciate that.

It's been challenging to find someplace to work on my Jeep GC. I thought a friend was going to let me work on it in his driveway but he backed out. Until I find someplace I'm not going anywhere. Unfortunately I've run out of friends within 400 miles...lol I'll keep you guys posted.

Once I know when I'm leaving I'll post it. I may be facing a delay but I'll make that another post.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Timing wise this could work out well as it would give me maybe a week or two to explore Windrock and other parks between the Carolina's and TX before meeting up.

As the title says, I'm just one guy, hitting the road for as long as I can sustain it. Now that my kids are on their own I've decided to sell everything, outfit my jeep and hit the road until I either get bored or find someplace new to settle for a while. The "plan" is to hit the road (leaving...

As I re-read my last post, I'm realizing I didn't really need to say anything. Simply saying "Thank you" is all that was needed. I guess I'm still a little bitter...ha As parents, we do the best we can with the tools at our disposal. Sometimes that's enough and sometimes it isn't. In the end...

I know this may be a politically incorrect response.... BUT... (lol), the ex was more interested in her dirt bag boyfriends, white powder and needles than our kids. So I sure as hell won't give an ounce of credit to that nut job of a woman...lol ;) Thank you!

I couldn't agree with you more! I'm fortunate that my kids are in college because they want to be there, and they've paying their own way. My daughter is starting her masters in linguistics in August and my Son got a full ride (plus a salary) to a Canadian university to study for his PHD in...

My son took auto tech in HS. The rocket scientists at his school thought it was too dangerous to let students actually work on cars so they converted the shop to a break room for the teachers and moved the class to a classroom and called it auto repair theory. They closed the wood, metal and...

Thanks for all of the suggestions! We used to have a U-Fix it here but they went out of business in their second year. Just not enough people willing to do their own work. The nearest DIY auto shop is a few hours south of me, and that's not an option. As for working out of a storage unit. I...

All the work that needs to be done - I've done many times in the past. I've never paid someone to work on any of my vehicles for the past 35 years. That's what makes this so frustrating: not having someplace to do it where I can work at my own pace. Needless to say, the past seven years have...

That would work! I didn't really expect to get an answer so quickly or so close. Tallahassee is only about four hours from me. I'll reach out again for contact info as we get closer to August 1st. Thank you! The jeep is bone stock so I'm doing suspension, armor, re-gear, wheels and tires...

Thank you! I'm so sorry she has to deal with it. EDS is one place where misery doesn't love company...lol It's nice to hear when others understand but it's horrible to hear when others have to go through it. And at the same time, there are thousands of people with EDS who will go their entire...

Hey there OBers. I'm in need of getting some work done on my bone stock Jeep WJ but the labor costs are making it unobtainable. This post is definitely on the longs side so feel free to skip to the third from last sentence to get the summary. Otherwise here's the background on why this is a...
