Default Change Of Plans

The plan was for my wife to fly down to Naples buy Genes Crossfire and spend a week at our home in Port Charlotte then drive back to Nebraska.My job will be slow for the next few weeks so, Last night we purchased another ticket . So not only do I get to drive ( when she lets me) the crossfire across the country but I also get to fish for a week If I'm not fishing I will be out in the Jeep. WOO HOO.
Two years ago we bought a vacation home in Port Charlotte Florida last year we bought a boat in Alabama and had some friends pick it up and haul it to Port Charlotte. I then shipped my 83 CJ8 Scrambler to florida from Nebraske because I needed something to pull my boat. Now we are buying a car in Florida to drive back to Nebraska.

That picture was crossing the Platte river in Nebraska.
The Jeep axles never even get close to the water when I'm putting the boat in.This Scrambler was a rust bucket when I got it.

Enjoy the drive in your "new" Crossfire!

I like your youtube link. An old college friend of mine is Doug Sewell. Perhaps you are familiar with his amps?

It pulls it great. I have had it on the interstate a few times but prefer to keep it under 60
