So stoked to get this thing back on the road! It was running so well (minus crank relearn) before this happened. Looks like the internal harness shorted out. Also had a bunch of TC and clutch material in the pan.

So THAT's why you moved! Congratulations to you both and may your quiver be full!

One of the reason haha. Thank you! When’s the next meetup gonna be? I still want to meet everyone and run the shit outta this thing

Not sure Nathan especially with the China Virus mess. Just down the road from you is Dawn and her husband Tim, they're into cars and restoring Dawn's 2-Door. I thought you guys knew each other but she says no.

With your truck and Dawn's, Tim's and her kid's trucks you all can have your own meetup over there till this thing blows over!

Oh yeah we could have quite the meetup. Well we'd have to push the kid's truck because it still doesn't run but yeah it could be fun. We're in the Tyrone area of St. Pete. Which means we have to be stealthy in the teardown and repair of vehicles due to dreaded code enforcement.

On a happy note, 3 years ago today I brought home that thing in the driveway that makes me want to light it on fire and also makes me so happy all at the same time. I wonder if that's how Tim feels about me sometimes??

Hey that’s very true! Yeah I definitely do not know them, but glad to know there are some fellow TYFs over here!

Nathan- Nice to meet you. Do y'all have TP up in Largo? There is none here in St. Pete. I did score a 6 pack of Angel Soft over the weekend but I had to punch a baby to get it. LOL This is definitely a pain but it does give Tim a chance to work on the truck for me, I get to do minor things due to a recent back surgery.

Nice to meet you! Haha yeah we do, but only at our house. Seems like everyone around us keeps stocking up every chance they get. I think people forgot that if you get sick from this thing, it doesn’t make you poop more... damn, that poor baby! Desperate times call for desperate measures though lmao. Sorry to hear about your surgery, and hopefully you recover soon!
