We made it rolled in Friday about 5 staying about 3 miles south of town anybody here early look us up driving a green obs Ford or a red white blue xj c u soon Doug Rose
 
Finally made it about 2:30am Tuesday morning. Only 10 hours llate. Lost the second trailer tire just outside of Cedar City. Limped it back to the tire shop that said they'd stay open to find them locked up tight. Barely made it in time to WalMart, who quickly got us setup with two new tires. Even tightened the lugs with a torque wrench.


45 minute back on the road to come upon a tractor trailer blocking the slow kane. Turns out the tractor threw the driveshaft between the first and second axle. Spit the yoke through the grill of a Toyota pickup. No one hurt, but driver of the pickup pretty shook up. Pickup was driveable.



We're sleeping in tomorrow, since I'm coming off a 26 hour day Sunday. no runs, getting Jeep unloaded, etc.

No, independent shop. We were not impressed when we got there 20 minutes after we talked to them, and they had vanished.
