I am more or less encouraging the boss to get an L320 now that Jordan is becoming a real expert. The only downside of her last one was that one damn electrical issue we had. With Jordan’s continued expertise now in them with all he’s done, I think another would be pretty cool. I just hope she can take the step backward in tech now that she’s had that BMW for a year or so over there…

I started shopping for aluminum trailers a while back when I was still shopping for a 911 when over the pond. They aren’t too horrible and once we finish recovering from all the adventures, I may get serious about buying a trailer again…

 

He's already looking haha. I'm much more partial to the L322 visually and space wise but very impressed with that 5.0 they have a silly tune for the blown 5.0s that almost makes a 5.0 worth the headaches. We are moving back to VA this summer and I'll be looking for a 5th wheel 2 car min hauler once there for trips back out west...

 

Wait a minute. VA? Did I miss a meeting? Jeez, how will you survive? Kidding aside, VA is gorgeous and probably good opportunities there.

 

boss has a family farm overlooking skyline drive that we'll be heading to in the immediate future and possibly build there. I'm full remote fortunately but boss' job is pulling more hybrid or in person and commuting from denver is a lot of wasted time vs VA when it's all NJ or ohio travel, let's be honest not moving to either of those places lol

 

Dude, the absolute best of wishes for you and the family. I hope we can get together before you launch. The line of work we do certainly has challenges these days, but I’m certain it will work out for the best for you and your family.

I was back in OH dealing with family stuff, and I have to say I have zero interest of even visiting that place again. My boss keeps looking at places in Tuscany and swears we are going there some day.

And now I’ll be a vulture: Let me know before you roll of any parts you wanna off….

 

well indeed made it to VA and the big dumb and ugly classic has come in and saved the day numerous times in the past year. Discos getting new motors and other various absurd issues that put them both down at the same time. Had a slight rad leak that some good old fashioned dirt tabs cleared right up. Getting settled and ready to get this some attention later this summer as we have some nice exploring near our new place, nothing crazy but this is by far the most comfortable of our 3 rovers for anything off pavement. Some floorboard rust has developed but pillars are all still good so I need to pull carpet and see about patching that up as first order of business. Have rear door shells to cut and paint to match the rear side panel cuts already (one is cut already but need to come to conclusion on how I want to seal it up...). Waiting to cut front fenders as I need to get the front long arm kit installed first so I can get everything lined up nicely.

Saying by before we left for VA
