Re: Do You Use It Like a Truck ?

This is what I bought the truck for.

Unfortunately, after dragging the 4Runner 100 miles to the park, it didn't want to get off the trailer so I wound up offroading the 71 that weekend. I got some ugly looks for having such a nice truck on trail, but dammit I had my family with me and we were going offroad. I just stayed on the wider trails and did my best not to scratch it up. All in all though it basically drug an extra 7-8k lbs 250 miles for no reason and ran trails for a weekend plus was the camp radio and still had to jumpstart a stuper duty in the morning.

This may not be the most practical truck as far as fuel economy goes, but its my truck so its gotta do scrap runs, and of course move at least a friend a week and all my general hauling needs.
