We made it back... definitely a long haul @1600+ miles

The truck runs great and has a super clean interior... it does need a small amount of roof repair, but all in all a great truck

I will post some pics up later  :steeringwheel:

what did it average for fuel on the way back?

Richard and myself debated on the type of hydration ya'll had for the drive back since it was so long  :evil6:

we averaged between 10-14 mpg....overall maybe 12... not bad considering the terrain and road speed of 60-70+ mph... also  80+ ounces of coffee and 4 beers...still tired LOL  :sleepy:

Scotty was attacked by Klingons !!!
The exterior was barely klinging-on!
The panel klinged-on for dear life!
If only the duct tape will Klingon for a little longer!


Or maybe just rotted wood
