Project Junkyard made it to Moab. Engine was flawless. You've got to love Utah with 80 mph speed limits. There was a very long stretch (maybe 25 miles) of flat open highway at one point. I set the cruise control at 80. The engine stayed at 2300 rpm. I'm currenty geared at 5:13 with 39 tires. Really great performance. So much for highway driving. Tomorrow we run Pritchett Canyon and I'm anxious to test the torque.

Thanks all! Vince and I are having a great time on this trip - our first time at Moab. A great thing about renting a condo here is that you get a garage for repairs.
