Here is my route to fall fling whats yours?

[jonn]

Well i am leaving today from kimberley b.c. canada, its about 1100 miles so not to bad of a distance. However, when you have a loaded down jeep with 35s and you are pulling a tent trailer you can't go to fast. we are heading to missoula mt then down to sun valley idaho, salt lake city then moab. Combining fall fling with a vacation so we are taking our time getting there, (also leaving this early so we have time to fix any unforeseen mechanical problems the way, xjs don't break down do they?)

See you on the Road

6 speed auto or stick? If its the Auto...can you take me for a ride? Still trying to decide if I want to upgrade to a Mega soon.

6 Speed Auto. Look me up when you get to town - Trust me you cannot miss the Orange Beast. I will be staying behind Dennys at my father-in-laws place.

That is the only thing that I wish I would have got - MEGA CAB - But the 6 Speed Auto and the Exhaust brake are awesome.

Those cummings are so much lowder and less power than my Duramax, don't know why uou guys drive them except the cheep price.

I guess not everyone is independently wealthy like yourself.

BTW, it's Cummins, louder, and cheap

:wave1:

Solid front axle for starters...

The fact that its an American made motor and not a Jap POS for seconders...

[Vince]

Yes, Rachel is looking forward to getting back in her TJ. My 13-yr old son Robert is also coming this trip. His school gave him permission to take the week off as his grades have improved. I can't wait to go, but I'm not looking forward to all of the separate legs in my journey.

[Handlebars]

You haven't been around a 6.7 have you????? Louder????? I wish mine was louder...

Reason number 1 for not buying a Duramax: If you read the owners manual for Snow Chaining - DO NOT PUT CHAINS ON THE FRONT TIRES.

Solid Axels Rule.

Every time you guys pull into the station and leave those Cummins running I look for ear plugs, my Duramax is so much nicer, and I have the 4" exhaust, better mileage, yours tows 0 to 60 a touch faster but mine passes at 60 faster towing. Who zoomes to 60 while towing with these diesel prices? I agree, solid axels Rule, offroad, mine's for a smooth ride and puller on road. If i've chained the rear and I still have a problem, takes less time to pull out the winch cable than chain up the front anyway.

[JohnX]

If its too loud, you're too old.

Sure, the Dmax is quiet...but is it worth having an IFS? Maybe thats okay if you never take it off road, or in the snow. My old 12 Valve is loud as hell....til I close the door :D

[DrMoab]

Anyone who knows anything about diesel engines know that V8 configurations suck for diesel engines anyway.

Check the big rig scene. 99.9% inline sixes.
