Well I made it through the first major trips, without to much trouble. (my four day elk hunt, as mentioned on the previous forum) I logged an estimated 175 mi., and the old truck never missed a beat. I got crossed up on one hill, which I thought, I would have to winch out of but it managed to manuever it's way out of the ditch. I did run into a few items, which need to be addressed. One, is the heater not keeping the windows thawed out and the cab from condensating so much moisture, that it rains inside. Second, is the pinion seal that leaks out the oil about as fast as you can pour it in. And third, is insulation in the cab, to drown out some of the noise, so I don't go deaf. But all in all it was a success, as I didn't have to ride back to town on the atv in 20deg. weather in order to get my other pickup and a driver to tow it home. This thing is a blast to drive.
