Trips all went well - I've put around 5000 miles on the Burb since early September and its been doing great. Survived a pretty rough beating after a week offroad in OBX after nearly getting rear ended in the snow, in Connecticut, by a Tractor trailer. I did lose a window regulator while we were in OBX - it was greased well but clearly the cables had hit the end of their life span. Got that swapped in less than an hour for under $50 once we got home.
And here's a couple of videos of beating on the old girl going over the dune. Unfilmed were several times jumping it (not all 4 wheels, but the fronts came up) and a time missing a turn and heading straight into some 2ft whoops and "sandblasting" my skid plates clean.
