Another 1300 trouble free miles

Hate to see you get rid of it. Pretty sure I saw it headed north on 75 a couple days ago. Pulling a trailer with 2 atvs on it.

1300 trouble-free miles for a long weekend in the desert.

I drove up in one long day. 19.5 hours. Spent 6 days out in the woods. On the way back I split it into 2 days. I was just too tired to make the long haul again.

2400 mile round trip to Minnesota so I could spend the week paddling and camping in the Boundary Waters.

I wish I could make it. Can’t spare the vacation time this year. I do plan to go again sometime though. It really is an awesome event. I’ll be following the trip report thread. Everyone get plenty of pics.

I was able to order what I think is all the parts for my conversion. Used a combination of Partsouq, McGeorge Toyota and Lexus Parts Now. Hopefully, I won't receive any emails in the next few days about some parts no longer available. Partsouq is on holiday until the 14th, so may be a bit...

I use ratchet straps to haul mine. If I'm going very far on the highway, I'll use cam straps for the bow/stern safety lines. I've hauled 2 kayaks with ratchet straps a few times, but would probably get some type of cradle if I was doing it very often.

Best Western works for me. We should definitely meet up in Amarillo, if not before. Maybe Wichita Falls?

Sweet! I'm really looking forward to HIH8 and running trails with everyone. I've been off-road many times on motorcycle and atv, but this will be the first time on serious trails in a full size vehicle, so super excited. I'm also ready to get out of this heat for a bit. Can't wait for the...

I'm in for a Moriarty meet up. Are you planning to get a hotel room or camping somewhere there?

No no no. Not sure why anyone puts white letters out. I see white letters out on a lot of bro jeeps. For the sake of all that's decent, just don't do it.
