Its nice to see you on the board Drew, and no you are definetly not aloan in that boat. I just started ordering parts in preperation for my next step. Its kinda tough takeing a driving truck out of service again, for work that some guys wouldnt think is even needed, but I do.

I don't really know what has changed with FTE but the site seems to be working a lot better for me lately so I'll probably be around a little more often.

I definitely think the level of enjoyment is raised if you can keep your truck running between things that you do to it. I constantly see projects that have been torn all the way down and lay around in garages for years before the owners finally give up and sell. It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you have some many things to attend to before you can even think about driving again.
