[RedRoad]

Wow, being a SAHD and moving a few times since the last post really makes time fly! The burb has been doing daily driver status since the trans went in and got 30K miles on it with no issue except for t case spewing gear oil when over filled on the freeway. The NoSpin sure makes more noise than the Detroit in my 14bolt but damn the traction is a dream with the MTs. New front drive shaft just went in but thats about it mechanically. Super reliable and easy to maintain, sure glad I didnt buy anything new!

Lots of camping and dirt roads, wore out a set of KMTs and got a set of new rims and another set of 255s. With the use of the burb and my 74 C30 3+3 I was able to build a house and move 1200 miles to WA and tow my other treasures a 56 VW convertible and a 15 window bus. The burb towed the bug and was a piece of cake on a 22hr cannon ball. The C30 with bus was a little slower taking 30 hours with a stop due to fog in OR. Was surprised to measure in at 16K GCVW but equipment trailer and all my important tools weighed more than expected. Burb got 9mpg and the C30 managed 6mpg with stock crate 350, SM465, 4.10s going 60 most of the way. One thing for sure when the burb need a brake overhaul Im for sure putting in hydroboost. It sure made controlling the load much easier than regular vacuum booster.

I had to drive the burb this winter season and washed down the chassis every day to wash any salts but will see what damage is done once it stops raining in a few months. Burb is in its element with 20 acres of mud to play in and a 1/2 mile long dirt road to the property.

Maybe be able to make the PNW C10 show tomorrow if I can wash her down, maybe just show up all muddy as seen in the wild.
