Great question, I have no idea :unsure:

Well, to be honest I was starting to think this was not going to happen. I wired money on 10/28/21 for the truck and today 4/6/22, it arrived in Jacksonville FL. It still needs to clear customs. I have no idea how long that will take. I've decided that I will fly down and drive it back the...
