If you want to call it that lol, and any and every one is welcome to join and coem along if you all think that you can hang. lol. I will have a first that I know of so I wont mind showing it off a little and seeing what it can do. So if there is anyone out there alone the trip feel free to hit me up and send me a address and I can see what I can do about swinging by, and hitting up some trails.

Well you're coming Eastbound and down and I'm heading Westbound and down. From Virginia Beach to the Grand Canyon to as far north as Glacier National and back again!

LOL hey you never know it could happen. And the truck does need to be "broken in". And then the Ram Mount might get in the way. But ti would make the trip more fun, and make it easier lol

I should have a thread on here or on the other site about the adapter they sent me. If you get the adapter it will make life much easier for anyone in the passenger seat.

It is a bit un comfortable and in the way on long drives.

So as it sits right now I will work on the dates of where I should be and when later tonight, but I should be starting leave on the 15th of April. So taking into account of the drive I will try to work out how long where and how long of a drive.

JD would you still be interested in planning a early TECORE?

Also is every one who wants to meet up still kool with this time frame? If you need more info please let me know, as I will up date and post things as soon as I know.

Ok so after looking at the map and trying to upload the new one (stupid slow afghan internet) but this is what I came up with.


2 days drive to IN
3 days working and wheeling
1 day in IL wheeling
1 day drive to VT
3 days with family
2 days in MA wheeling
3 days in NJ/VA wheeling
2 days to FL
2 days in fl wheeling
1 day to GA
3 days in GA family
7 days back to AZ

staying a night in New Orleans poss for a break. If any one wants to meet up on the way please let me know and I can make the right ajusments. I have 30 days with a passanger so driving might be cut down a litte.

And I am looking to cram in as much wheeling with friends as I can. Please let me know anything that you can. I might want to know if I need to bring camping gear and such. Thank you for everyones time. Sorry I don't and cant tell you all more. The army is always waiting till the last min on things that a lot need to know way in advance.
