    Thanks man. Yea If i was gonna be here like 5 years I would look at purchasing, then if I had to move I'd just sell or look at renting it to my company for the workers we have come in.

    Going to look at a bunch tomorrow. First is a nice house with a 2 car garage lol so its a good start.

    Well i have driven it a total of 14.4 miles. Drives straight seems harder to initially get it to turn from straight. Shocks are set on softest setting. Seems smooth. And yet coils are stiffer on cornering. I really need to update the rear from the stock pack plus aal.

    Anyone here from Rock Springs?

    Going to try and drive from LA to Aberdeen, SD and that's my middle points if I want to make it two legs/days.

    Any good places to stay there for cheap (preferably with a shower :D)?

    You only have to lift it a few feet. Seems like more work to move a ladder around and then moving the box on it. Is engineering short for "work harder".

    Its more so just awkward than heavy. I want 4 smaller boxes that could fit under a plywood platform. Mainly to save space but also to better organize and split up the weight.
