Good!!

 

[vanros1]

Just spray it on and let it soak? Or did you rinse it out after a while. Fading return to black? Pic?

 

[wngrog]

Just spray let it soak. Wipe off anything left that does not soak in.
If you don’t like it just wash it off.

We are about 225 miles into this adventure and all is well in the world

Nothing like some fresh artillery to get you going!

You guys are driving back to FL together? That’s awesome!

How did the plane get back?

Tell me more!

Aight. I’ll let John tell his side of the story so I’ll keep it pithy.

John has a pilot for his plane so it got flown back to Florida with a killer tail wind after we took off

First stop was Lou’s where we talked like 12 year old girls through lunch. It was great but we spent the time talking Cruisers.

We gutted out pavement for about 100 miles then we hit the muddy roads in DeSoto National Forest.

The north part of the forest is in Camp Shelby which is an Army training base.

 

[wngrog]

We smashed our way through DeSoto to the Pascagoula river at Merrell MS. This road was blocked but we rode around the barriers and made it to the best bridge in Mississippi. These Army training areas are so cool

From the bridge we hit the road to Pascagoula where we went to the best seafood spot in the state....Bozo’s

Okay @wngrog is a much better story teller than me...and photographer as well. Today was the first day I have seen Mustard since right before New Years. I was honestly overwhelmed. The truck is just that great. So great in fact that I drove about an hour and a half tonight on I-10....through Mobile....at night....with howling wind and some rain. This thing is daily driver quality no doubt and it did not disappoint.

More to come. Need some rest and to get back home tomorrow. There are rumors I may have bought another land cruiser.

Their crab po boy sent me to the hospital from a sodium OD. Completely worth it.

Great work Nolen and John.

State Senator Clay Davis approves.

 

[jomelo]

Made it home safe and sound. Covered about 250 miles today for a grand total of somewhere around 500 miles. Not a bad little shakedown trip. The truck performed flawlessly the whole way.

 

[wngrog]

Still making my way home in Patina. Had a stop off in Hattiesburg to get a Sniper wired and fired on a 1972

Man. These Bluetooth Bose make the world a better place on a 500 mile trip in an FJ40

 

[tlaporte]

Are you making house calls now?!?

 

[wngrog]

Are you making house calls now?!?

I do anything for my man @USMC22

 

[jomelo]

I made it home around lunch today. The Bose headphones were clutch.

All is well on the farm.
