Sounds like a really cool drive and experience
Yeah I was really thinking that a coolant flush would be a great idea.

But how hard is it to change the gear oil? Ive been waiting to change out the diff. gaskets since my diff. covers look "wet."

Tires are ok. POS uniroyals, nothing fancy but still has enough tread left on them, gonna get them rotated in a couple weeks. Plus I have a spare, although the tire on it has a different tread than the uniroyals that are on my truck right now.

But yeah im excited to get out there, definatley gonna take a look and see if theres any orv trails in the national forests that Im gonna be right next to for when Im not gonna be working
