7 Days, 2759 Miles, 239 Gallons of Gas
Pix from the trip
Left Tucson last Tuesday in the new 60, and got back into New York City this Tuesday. Mounted a camera to the dash and took a snapshot every couple of miles or so. Crashed @ Eloy, AZ Page, AZ Monticello, UT Denver, CO Kearney, NE Iowa City, IA Sturgis, MI After Sturgis, I just hammered it for 13.5 hours to get home. That was a long day and boy did that beer taste good when I got home. Sights: Sedona Grand Canyon Lake Powell Monument Valley Navajo National Monument Mexican Hat Natural Bridges Moab A cool car show in Keensburg, CO called the Sunflower Nationals All in all a great trip and the truck ran flawlessly. Got about 11.5 mpg. Only thing is I wish my wife had the time off to come along. It sucks going from all this beatiful country back to this hell-hole I call home, well for now anyway... __________________ 1981 FJ60 - Martha’s Vineyard - 210K, OME, BFG ATs, MAF header, hi-flo cat and Magnaflow, Surco Safari Rack, Rod Racks. 2002 UZJ100 - Brooklyn - 44K, OME 865, OME T-Bars, TJM T-15, TJM RB8, Slee Diff-Drop, Slee Tube Sliders, African Outback Roof Rack, Borla & SLP Exhaust, Warn, IPF, PIAA, Toyo Open Country ATs.

Macneil,
Last summer, my two older brothers and i all drove a new 60 home from colorado to VA. It was without a doubt one of the coolest, and funnest trips i've ever had. Coming across the open plains is pretty cool. |
