Power Tour
I think every person who builds a truck, SUV, car should consider a run on the power tour. I took my old 53 IH Travelall to the end site two years ago and the starting point last year when it came to Louisiana. Hopefully, she'll be ready in a few years to make the long haul gang. Enjoy Doug.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Marc, I appreciate the holding off...
 Yes guys we had a great time on Powertour. It was a quest we've wanted to complete a number of years now and this was the year we were able to Long Haul. Praise Him! Nearly 2k miles, long hot days and wife powered right on through! Ran into Blue Jeep at the conclusion of the event last night. He had been at every stop too and we missed each other the entire week. Ok, I gotta be back on the Burb cause we are in a race for second place. Been slacking off way too long! |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Lower, we had hotel reservations about an hour outside each city the stop was in. That worked well for us, typically rates were more reasonable and we avoided the heaviest traffic next morning. I saw on FB some hardy folks were tent camping each nite.
Joedoh, it was fun...the Burb was very comfortable. Gator with the rebuilt engine is leaking quantities of coolant and engine oil...so will need to look at that Saturday. Always something. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Hey Doug, it's been a couple of months, I hope all is well. I know life frequently gets in the way of our projects. I haven't worked on mine for a couple of weeks now due to everything else I own suddenly needing attention.
Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next! -Richard

Sorry to hear about your wife's cancer coming back, my mom has had an ongoing battle for almost 6 years. Your wife and your family will definitely be in our prayers.
