I survived Turkey Bay. It was allsome. Check the show off forum for a TON of pics. I'll just highlight my truck here.
Pulled an all nighter Thursday night goin into Friday. Installed new 760's in the axles, repacked wheel bearings, new spindle bearings, lubed brakes, checked fluids, cleaned interior, etc.
This was ~2a Friday morn.
Got everything loaded up and hit the road around 11:30a Friday
Rocked the tube doors for the entire trip. I would've been scorching with the full doors and no AC. Quick pic on the road.
Made it to camp ~7:30p. Kayaked/canoed, swam, ate, drank, slept. Hit the trails on Sat and Sun.
I loved all the notches and washouts! As you can see, I picked up a nice dent on my passenger bedside as well. I'll pop it out as best I can when I get around to it.
I left TB around 2p on Sunday, and made it home by 10p. Construction sucks ass. Stopped for dinner too.
Pics from the ride home
Back at home, safe and sound. The trip is official, the tailgate has been tagged.
And back at work Monday morn at 8a.
The truck performed very well both on and off road. 750miles round trip. Set the cruise at 70mph and just rolled out. Even with the tube doors on and the bed loaded down I averaged 20mpg. The two times I filled up on the way down I got 19.91 and 20.12. I didn't pay attention on the way home haha.
U.A. 2012? I'm seriously considering submitting an application.
Thanks to all the TB 'locals' for taking me under their wing and showing me around.
