500 miles to NY, then nearly 3000 miles to Cali, then nearly 3000 home...you got this!!!. How many participants are there so far?

Good luck, and looking forward to videos.

For some reason, keep thinking you're in VA.

That's a **** ton of driving in that short amount of time. Is this event something new, never heard of it before?

It’s never been done as far as I know pretty sure there will be some laughs and some breakdowns. I’m totally looking forward to the time with my daughter

No matter what happens...it beats the snot out of sitting at home watching the boobtube...like 80% of the population.

You've been on enough overland trips to know how to think on your feet, and you have a good knowledge of the vehicle. The unknown is what makes the adventure interesting, solving issues and working through a problem with what you have on hand. If it was easy...what's the fun in that.

100% doing everything I can to get it long road trip ready

Gone through all the basic maintenance making a list of all the spares and tools so we should be well prepped for the road trip


So nice working on a true southern truck no rust everything just comes apart so easily
