No!!!
 













Yes. It's an expensive and time consuming hobby. Too much for me and my current life. So it's kind of similar to when a friend is moving away and you just want them to be happy and do what's best for them.

So I still have the B2 that I can continue to build a few hundred dollars at a time and still do 90% of the trails I did with the Navajo (just slower in the whoops and lifting more tires in the flexy spots)

So even with losing the Navajo, I'm still in a better off roading position then a few years ago when I would never go out.
 






Makes sense, especially with the need for a new motor. Just a little sad because this thing is a big reason why my truck turned into what it is.

Oh wow. Thanks. I think yours is turning out better than mine was. at least you still have yours. Now we just need to meet up out on the trails!
 






I miss this thing 😔
 






You can come visit her, anytime.;)

She just has a little more pep in her step now, and better visibility.

I was actually going to see if you wanted to come over and swap out the rear carrier. Not sure about doing the gear pattern.

I've done gears, don't like doing gears. It's not that hard just time consuming.

Do you want a Detroit locker? Could swap it with the b2 since I'm gonna sell it.

Don't have any cash for that right now, but if you want swap and we can do something later, I'm good with that. I have a spare carrier right now too.
