No I didn't go through Calgary, but thanks for the offer though. I should be getting the MTs soon, which I can switch between trucks.

Yeah likewise, I have a stack of 37's in my shop you could have used since you drove past here both ways.

How'd the sleeping platform work out? Have any pics of that? I've slept in my truck lots but it either means sleeping on top of my gear, or unloading everything and removing the drivers seat.

Yeah I didn't really think of it, Charla offered her radial swampers, but I figured might as well run what I got.

The bed worked awsome, set up in minutes, and I slept very well on it, I just had to chuck my back pack on my steering wheel, put the camping chair in the drivers foot well, and throw out my sleeping mat, bag and pillow. Don't have pics at the moment, since truck is buried under a foot of snow right now, but if the snow stops falling this weekend, I will take a few pics of it.

You did get one good nights sleep in a bed.

Yeah, thanks for that, I also crashed in a hotel one night on the oregon coast, because it was getting late in the trip, I wanted to push into the night, and it was pissing rain. Also crashed the last night at my parents place in Whonnock before my last big push to make it home.
