I really don't have a huge problem going 2-3 hours in it. It's only that I haven't taken the rig out except on short trips. I am somewhat concerned of its ability to function on the highway at such revolutions/minute, cool itself etc.. I'd do it if I had someone w/ me / behind me if I got in a bind. Personally, they just weren't built to go 70mph for 2 hours at a time. Therefore, I'd end up going 55mph or so...that sucks. I'd do the Holly beach thing w/o hesitation.
Having said that, even if I had an 80 or an FJC, I'd still worry about being stranded if I broke something on the trail.
Theriot's rig has proven itself reliable to him.. and I know he'll put his $.02 in but I don't have Theriot's rig.
me!
