Feel for you. Divorce sucks but the freedom of it can last forever. Stay strong.
OP
I’ve been through a divorce myself, it sucks but it will get better! Take care of yourself and if you need to talk or chat just send me a message.
I'm pretty alright with it. so far. Worst part is my 3yo son. But we are at least civil enough to be cordial about things when it comes to him. thanks everybody 
I’d be interested in a east coast wheeling meetup if it comes to fruition. Not sure how realistic it would be to ever get my TJ to Moab. Has anyone looked into vehicle shipping prices to Moab? Just wondering what a ballpark figure is.
I have not for that specifically, but I bought a 96 F350 crewcab long bed and it was $1600 from Oregon to Virginia...... and $3,000 worth of body damage from the tool bag drivers........
Yikes. I had a buddy that transported his car from Hawaii after he moved and the car above his, on the boat or trailer that transported the vehicles, had leaked oil all over his car.
I picked up a friends car in Orlando that had been transported from Hawaii. We did not have to service it at all and I would be surprised if someone else did.
Interesting, may depend on destination. I watched Cleetus (YouTube) ship his car to Australia for summer nats and they had to drain it to put it in a container.
I also had someone try to charge me $25,000 once for oil contamination in a container in Singapore, problem was we only shipped a large weldment that had no liquids in it. Pretty much told them to pound sand.
The Hawaii to Orlando was a military move so perhaps someone along the line did it.
It would seem very time consuming to drain fluids from all those cars and then have to refill before they can drive them off the ship.

I'm just seeing this as a new member and am really excited about the possibility of goin. Moab and Arches is a gorgeous area!! IF I can swing it, I will trailer my 04 just because I haven't had it long and have never driven it over 100 miles at one time. I would be willing to pull several units if we can find a large trailer. My GMC 3500 has pulled a 20K lb 43ft toy hauler over I-70 pass through Denver so I'm not concerned with the weight of several units. Anyway, just a thought if someone needed a pull. Not sure if I can make it yet but should be able to get a better idea in a few weeks. Definitely, would be in for TJ Fest East. Zip 30720. N W GA. We would need to strive for 600 mi / day to make it in 3 days. That is a 12 hr day, aver 50MPH including 3 pit stops, for fuel and food. each stop would have to be 30 min or less and run as close to 70 as possible to maintain the average with traffic etc. especially east of KC. JMHO.

I’m definitely going, I can meet you all in St. Louis. I’ll be coming from PA.
Going to be towing my TJR with my converted Ambulance. I’m good with whatever might never go back to PA.

Hey taylor I couldnt help but notice we are practically neighbors. I'm just over in Huber. Are you a member of mojo by chance as well?
Well anyway I just had to say hi once I noticed. Things like that just make this big world feel a little smaller.
Hey. Yeah we're real close. I am not a member of MOJO. I've never really been a member of a Jeep club. I did sign up for Muddy Buddys and went to a few meetings, but that is about it. Are you in MOJO? How do you like it? I usually go wheel with other TJ Forum members from other states.
