So many build threads fizzle out and the project vehicle is never completed or once it is completed there is no more to the story. Great thread. Thanks for sharing your trips with us as well.

great story, super pictures and a hell of a truck, great work! |
That would be a great trip. I would love to see the pics from that.
My most recent trip was taken January 2nd because I needed a truck and this is really the only one I have. The roads were pretty clean and it was fairly warm (for us). These pics are in my Jimmy build thread too, but since this thread has been revived I may as well remind people its still a truck and should be used as one. Fully loaded and resting on the rear bump stops.
Probably about 1200 lbs in there...
I put on about 320 miles that day and had no issues. Didn't expect any but was a little concerned about my tires with that load on them.
I am already registered for the 2015 Hot Rod Power Tour and put in for enough vacation days to do the whole trip if I choose to do the long haul. That would be about 3000 miles for me round trip.
