The Time Has Come to Say Good-bye!

After our grand adventure this weekend to the mountains of Current Creek and the constant little problems we have had with our truck, it is time to say good-bye to it. Well, at least to most of it. There will be a few parts here and a few parts there that will find a new home on another of our Explorer's. Kyle and Dustyn searched high and low to find a new one that could run right off and didn't need major mechanical work and that was a manual transmission. Kyle said after doing 3 automatic transmissions, the next automatic transmission he did wasn't going to be his. So we opted for a manual transmission. Here is the problem, they are extremely limited and hard to find for a decent price. We have looked at a few, we test drove a few, we called on some more and nothing seemed just right for what we needed or what we were willing to pay. After a 3 day frantic search, (Remember that we don't have a running vehicle at this point) they found one that was in our price range and a manual transmission and ran. So off Kyle and Dusty went and when they returned home at 10:30 tonight, we have a new truck. Hooray! It's not very pretty, and it needs some cosmetic work, but it runs and the transmission is a manual. Travis says, now it's time to find a pretty one to put the pretty transmission in. A big huge thanks to our Samuelson friends and all their help this last week. We never could have done this without you!
