Title: We are done......
Post by: Ryan on August 13, 2012, 11:56:23 AM: For a while at least no more racing.

Liz and I discussed it and we have decided that we are going to sell everything and start take a break.

Truck, $14000
Trailer, $26000
Buggy, $19000

It was a hard decision to come to, but we feel this is best for out family.

I will be buying a ZJ or 4-runner or something 4-seat and wheelable. It will be hotels at Rausch, and a streetable rig.

Same discussion and conclusion in my house. Not as much stuff to sell, though. I had to laugh! ;D

Title: Re: We are done......
Post by: wnyjpgy on August 13, 2012, 01:19:16 PM: This same situation has been going around lately, and I've been bit by the bug as well.

I have a low mileage complete drivetrain and harness (tbi 350, 5spd manual and 241) just sitting in my shop. I pretty much rust free TJ tub on the frame jig, and no motivation to work on any of it.

Right now I'd rather be on the boat, or hang out with my 1 month old.

Times change, but I still enjoy getting on here and seeing what you guys are building and what your up to.

I too have contempted selling my new Cummins truck since the boat is in a slip, and I'm not doing as much long hauling as I use to.

I hope everything works out well for you guys with whatever decisions you make.

Title: We are done......
Post by: mr.mindless on August 13, 2012, 01:46:30 PM: Congrats on making a rugrat :), I ha no idea.

I have no motivation to do a damn thing lately :( And I think I'd be having more fun with a boat.

Brett is clearing his shop out too. I asked him about price on his steering setup. That might get me to do something on something. I need to finish plan execution on a dozen other things too. Hrmph.
