Hey, if you are driving up I-95 with the new ride, let me know. Maybe can meet up for a quick lunch. I'm only 30 minutes off I-95.

You're in NC, right? Pretty sure I won't be hitting 95 until somewhere around Fredericksburg, VA. My buddy who's coming with me and I have always wanted to check out the blue ridge parkway so we'll be on 81 most of the way.

Yeah, you will miss me. The BRP is really nice. 81 isn't a bad drive.

I'm 15 minutes the other direction! To bad Dan won't be swinging our way. I would have canceled my riding trip Saturday!

The truck isn't perfect, but it seems like it should make it back to NJ! Rust free, and it drives well enough so I'm happy.

You done swapping everything over yet? :D2


Haha I'm in Rochester, NY for work, 350 miles away from the truck. I've covered pretty much the entire east coast in the last 3 days.

How did it drive back to NJ from GA? Did you get to see the BRP?

It drove pretty good. Engine runs great and the trans shifts well, which is good because it'll be my main transportation for the next couple months. The rear brakes are warped pretty bad, but I'm planning to upgrade to the SUV rear brakes pretty soon so I'll just cut them on my buddy's brake lathe when I get the chance. The Service 4wd light comes on about 80% of the time, gotta figure out whether that's the switch or the solenoid in the transfer case, either way, not a big deal. Also a clunk coming from the left front, if it's a ball joint I'll just steal the one off the green truck, could just be a sway bar end link though. We'll see. I have Friday off, so I'll go through the truck and see what's up.

I did get to drive the BRP for about 2.5 hours, it was incredible. We managed to fight through our hangovers and get there for sunrise.
