Default Took the jk across the country

Well drove my JK across the country from Pensacola, FL out to Oak Harbor, WA as I relocated for the military. It was a pretty nice trip did it in 4 and a half days I wish I had more time to explore especially driving through Utah and being so close to Moab! Anyways the jeep did great and wind noise from my soft top didn't bother me so much. I averaged around 16 mpg, the jeep was loaded down with a bunch of stuff too. Saw some beautiful country side especially through the Rockies. She did take a little battle damage though got a rock in my windshield somewhere in Idaho and left a quarter size crack.

It's good to see the dura's served you well getting across the country. It's a trip I'd like to make one day.

Did you graduate from AW A school and now going into P-3/P-8's at Whidbey? I graduated from the old RAG at Moffett and PCS'ed cross country to Maine. Wish I could've done it in my Jeep. But the Jeep was still a few years in the future back then.

Awesome. Had a blast in P-cola! Never made it to Whidbey, as Moffett and Barbers were the only VP places back then. But, I had lots of buddies who eventually got up there. Beautiful place for a jeep. Good luck! 👍
