You should stop in and visit Jay at ABS!

Looks like a fun road trip for sure.

Sounds awesome! I hope to do something like this in my lifetime. Best of luck.

Holey crap!! Cool truck. Looks like you are gonna add 10% to the trucks total mileage...just on the way home.

Sounds like quite the adventure, be sure to post updates as you are along the way.

Im in CT 06488. If you get hung up on something i have welder, tools, jack ect if needed. If not safe travels. Oh and going through NYC avoid 684, 95, and the Jersey turnpike in the great NYC area not only is traffic aweful you will get hit with heavy tolls.

What an awesome road trip.

Just tell Rob to sing solo. So low you can't hear him.

P.S. We want stories! So post along the way.

That should be a lot of fun, filled with a ton of stories. Good luck!

Okay --- this sounds like we need to put in some votes -- which would be way more interesting than what Charley is going to get for The Mule!



#1 - How many miles before the first breakdown

1A) - How many miles from civilization and no cell service will they be


#2 - Actual MPG for total trip


#3 - Miles per quarts of oil


#4 - Cost of kidney replacement


#5 - If they go to Austin - will they or will they not finally eat at The Salt Lick

A couple you left out:

• Avg MPH
• Max speed obtained
• Lbs. of fuel
• $ in repair parts
• $ in repair labor
• # of texts
• # of Starbuck stops
• Geographical point at which they bag it and put it on a transport and fly home.

1638 miles ... which puts them in Ozark, Arkansas.

1A) - How many miles from civilization and no cell service will they be
About 25 miles from Fort Smith.

#2 - Actual MPG for total trip
6.3 ... if it is tuned up.

#3 - Miles per quarts of oil


#4 - Cost of kidney replacement
Sine it won't be covered under their Obamacare ... a lot!

#5 - If they go to Austin - will they or will they not finally eat at The Salt Lick

I don't think that's a detour they'll take after that many days on the road.
