Logging some miles today...finally a break from the heat and humidity..sunset in South Dakota. Oh and she pulls hills like nobody's business now, havent hit any elevation though yet. I love the exhaust nite,the turbo whistle is better than any radio.

No damage to the rig from the deer? Try to avoid the elk here in NM; take more than 33" tires to drive away from that.

 

[roma042987]

No damage. Can't say the same for the car in front of me which hit it first.

Start of a true adventure picking flesh off the under carriage. Hope it's the last time this trip

Dang, that was one long boring drive I bet. Beautiful but rugged country that.

 

[roma042987]

Yeah that first leg was very boring and hot.

So air Con next then?

How's the turbo? Fuel economy what you'd hoped for?

Glad you guys found the cabin. I will try to just have some gps coordinates for it next time. ENJOY!

On the way up to Glacier picked up some cherries people grow them in their yard and sell them on the side of the road. Doesn't get any better than that they were picked that morning.
