Gary! Congrats buddy! Remarried? As long as she let you keep the car, she’s alright with me . Wife and I just celebrated our 15 year. In fact, that’s why I had another delay in posting responses. We were in the Pacific Northwest for over a week!

whats up Reap. Yeah I’ve been dead for a while. This has been a LONG brutal winter. Serious. I am getting my halos updated, then tires mounted, then she is getting activated from storage insurance. The snow has to leave this ground.

Lol you two ... it was bound to happen, she's an awesome woman!
We've been together over 4 years now ... come end of June it'll be a year married, end of Oct will be 5 years together.
We drive each other crazy sometimes, but in the end I wouldn't want anybody else by my side, she's the one.

She's OUT AND ABOUT!!!

Crappy work parking lot pic of a dirty car, but at least she's out:







Minor mod/update: Installed my new Switchback halos - then had my shop wire it. Works as amber with turn signal activated, otherwise as regular halos.

Love em.

Thanks man! It's been a long time coming. I'm about 2 months overdue, because of this crappy winter. This is seriously one of the worst ones I can remember. Horrible.

It felt really good to drive her again. I missed her.

I haven't installed the tires yet - part of me wants to keep using these bald Nitto's and use em up!

Meant to update this thread.

New MT tires are on. They’re about a 1/2” wider than the Nittos, but they fit perfectly.

The ride is great, and the grip is tremendous. Those Nittos were never really that good and I put up with it for a few years. I can still get these MTs to slide in 2nd if I really romp on them, but for most part that grip so much better than the old ones. They really look good too though.
