About 3 to 4 weeks ago. I had a thread on here when I initially broke down - got stranded in NV, and went back to pick up & trailer it home a couple weeks ago. Now sitting in the driveway and the clock is ticking. I'll need a reliable-driveable rig within a few months and am weighing my options; cost and time to rebuild vs. sell at a loss and find one that's currently roadworthy.
