The worse thing thats happened is the alternator went out half way there 2 summers ago.
Drove there with no alt, called around and picked up a replacement the next day.
Installed it with a crescent wrench and pliers in my moms garage.
What could go horribly wrong on the trail? I get stuck?
You need to have faith man!!
As for the price of gas, its cheaper up north than back home.
190 miles each way and it takes a half a tank to get there, we drive around on the other half, fill it back up and then go home.

i have faith in her for long trips. right after I did HG's i went down to Charlotte and thru Shenandoah but its wheeling it hard i get worried about and then having to drive 3 hours home. If im going thru easy trails im not bothered but if there are massive rocks and i know i have to work the next day my palms get sweaty. i would love a p38 to cruise around with and turn my disco into more of a trail rig. but i think my old lady would kill me.
