Long driving

Are those retreads I smell?

 

Nope. Original general ameritrac or whatever they're called. 30,000 miles on them with about half tread left.

 

Ouch...

 

OK, I'm back after the trip. It was a blast, the Tac rolled smooth as silk the whole trip. Only stopped for gas, snacks and rest room of course. 16 hour trip one way, I heard some guys even made it down to 12 hours, really don't know how they did that. Tiresome but enjoyed it a lot, specially the scenic sights. On the way back, I was hit with 112° while driving thru Las Vegas, I turned on the air, the engine just shrugged it off and kept on running like nothing happened!.

 

Woooooo!!! I did the same thing, almost a year ago. (July 28th to be exact)
Its a tacoma.... so nothing to worry about. The biggest thing would be to take breaks and stay awake when you go through that boring state of Utah.

Edit: awww fuuuu okay well glad to know you made it here

 

Indeed Utah is mostly bland. But the trip around Provo is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. The canyon that follows the Provo River. Driven to and fro from Rapid City recently and headed back in 2 weeks.

 

Didn't make it that far north on the I15 to Provo, had to jump on the I70 East prior to that.

 

Tomorrow night, I'm dropping the hammer from the bay area to have lunch in McCall ID, then Moscow, then Florence OR, first leg is all night blast through Nevada at night.

 

Bring pee bottles, coffee and slim jims

 

nah, water, monster, redline, trail mix, beef jerky and fresh coffee if i can find it.

 

Bay Area to McCall is a good haul. Have fun.

 

will do!
