Flying is the safer way to go here.

I’m sure those drivers are better than the ones in Tampa ..

Belt on the Yukon was squealing pretty bad. Belt dressing only worked for about 13 seconds then the squeal was back. $26 buck on rock auto and two days the new belt was here. Opted for aftermarket as the AC Delco belt only lasted 41,000 miles. Seems the outer band fraying is common.

I have heard several people talk about the manifolds cracking. If you look on-line you can see it seems to start around 2011. Sometimes the bolts actually break. I have a 2015 and I think I may have a crack now since I can hear the tell-tell ticking noise.

Sorry, been gone a couple of weeks. Hopefully, it’s the manifold, but you would also get a ticking noise if the lifters are going bad as well. Lifter issues are also a known issue with the Ram‘s. Had mine go bad on my 2012 after 7 years and about 70K miles. Otherwise, this was a great truck.

Hope you are having a great time!

We were there last year at the end of April and it’s terrific weather to visit.

I like everything about it but the price. If it was $100 plus shipping it would be on the way to me now.

Compared to YETI it is a bargain

Agreed, my BIL just bought the YETI ice bucket for $150. Ridiculous. I still agree with @Ronnie too, but I'd be willing to throw $150 at it, as there's no way they're gonna sell it for a hundo until it's a discontinued item

Got me a new (boat?) trailer. It’s an aluminum Sport Haven 6x12 and fits our two 12’ kayaks with about an inch to spare. Was originally going to buy a steel utility trailer with a treated wood floor, but got a great deal on this one (new) for only about $500 more. Sold our Polaris Ace UTV’s and ATV trailer, so I needed another one to haul stuff. Really happy with this purchase!

Some interesting updates from the eagle nest we've been monitoring. Got a distant look at the chick from the water now that we have our boat in, since it's easier to see into the nest from out on the lake. Grainy, because I cropped WAY in. Then a few days ago, the chick was finally sitting up high enough so we could see it from land, for a much closer look. Looks like a baby dinosaur. And then this morning, I saw two squirrels maintaining their nest IN THE EAGLE'S NEST! Bravest squirrels in Memphis. Looks like they have at least one entrance into the side of the nest. Crazy.

I'd bite at $249 if it was easier to lift and/or had wheels - seems like a nice design.

Wow! I hope you make some money off these pictures somewhere else because I see worse photography for sale all the time.
