Are you staying in a cabin, tent or RV?
Also, a must stop and check it out: Islamorada World Wide Sportsman:

and by the way, the restaurant next to them, Islamorada Fish Co. is excellent!
Let me know if I can help/get you anything? I'm only a few miles from the turnpike and I can meet you at a stop.

I was at that Bass Pro shop last February, Nice place!!

this is a transom saver a buddy of mine modified for float on trailers. i thought it was pretty smart idea & works great http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...8_06120006.jpg

Looks good there Phatdaddy. I considered when the time comes to change my hubs to the same bolt pattern as my truck that way I have two tires with me that fit both the vehicle and the trailer. Drive safe and have fun. Get some good shots of the V!

:beer:

I'm close to the Snapper Creek Service Plaza, however I've got a wedding to attend Saturday afternoon. My son is the best man and I think it's at 2:30pm. I will PM you my number and have a safe trip! Nice rig :clap:

Bradford, thanks, i have 14" tires and the hubs are 5 on 4.5, most are moving up to 15" tires. i have been told that toyota & small ford rims fit?

Thanks builder, sat wedding means fri nite bachelor party(especially for the best man) and i know your son will need some fatherly advice on that. have a good time, i'll buzz ya if i need ya.

You got it! :sand:

Toyota 2WD , ford ranger, and Ferm's rims off the pink jeep!

I'd probably wait untill both my tires and rims were shot and do a total replacement. Now that I live 2 miles from the ramp I'll probably never have the opprotunity.

Bahia Honda is a neat place. I'd rather camp there than stay in a hotel in Key Weird.

We're back, left Bahia Honda Parking lot @ 6:38am, pulled in the driveway 758 miles later at 7: 25pm, minus $300 gas & $40 in tolls. will post later gonna hit my own bed tonight

nice, a safe long distance tow, your own bed and toilet. life is good again.
