My wife and I are setting out on a journey along Route 66 with our two dogs, Lela and Charley.
I drug my rig, named Mavis, after my late mother, out of a backyard two years ago, got it running a year later, and have been daily driving it since then. I documented that process in this thread. Builds - 1969 FJ40 named Mavis - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1969-fj40-named-mavis.1278957/
Since we lived in Illinois for several years and have seen all the Illinois Route 66 sites, we are driving from our home in Clarksville, TN through the ghost city of Cairo Illinois and joining Route 66 at Ted Drewes Custard shop in St. Louis.
With luck, and God Willing the creek don't rise, we will try to get all the way to Santa Monica in a couple weeks, and will update our progress here.
