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.

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.

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

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.

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.
