Cool! I was thinking about your central-eastern Oregon solitude while camping as I was packing up camp on the chetco after midnight- we got invaded by some revelers on Friday night- I was warned, however. Looks fun!

almost 4k miles later, we are in Louisiana.

truck pulled down 14.4 mpg ave.
lowest being low 11s, best at 17+ (mostly downhill )

truck was basically flawless. although the iac was acting a little funny at times.(primarily when it was hot) it's likely shytting the bed. pretty common for these.

i have been doing a few updates to this thing.
noted a blown front bump stop and some damaged spring/shackle bushings after the trip.
so i updated the front spring and shackle bushings. frame bushings front and rear. skys shackles up front for a slight lift.
i have new bumps and landing pads but need to find a welder.
