Thanks for checking! I'm surprised you can't find them, but I really appreciate you trying.

Matt and I are still good to go. Planning on leaving a bit early Thursday night, so we're there in plenty of time to have breakfast and such before meeting up.

I should get someone's number just incase.

We're leaving here Thursday about 2:20pm and blowing thru. It's only a 14hr drive give or take, we'll see how she does out on the open road with the new tires. This will be her first adventure since the additional lift.

Kind of excited to be back in my home state for the first time in 2 yrs. :safari:
