I'm going back and forth, its 1,700 miles/ 27 hour drive for me..


I like the saftey of knowing I have a ride home if I break. On the other hand I think it would be cool to drive there and wheel and drive home..


My trucks way more comfortable on long hauls..

I broke mine last month--broke it bad, 15 miles from a road and we had to go get a trailer to get er out.
driving it and then breaking it and figuring out how to get home is half the fun sometimes....

after you break then you can rent truck and trailer to get it home...

Its like a harley, why trailer it to go ride it up and down a small stretch of streets and call yourself a rider..... I just dont get it. use it, drive - ride em and use them... thats why we have them for the experience on and off road..... but hey have fun looking at it in the rear view mirror and calling yourself a jeeper.

please dont take this wrong or harsh... I just believe in using the things.....
