    Years ago I was on the roof of my parents house when either a microburst or a really strong dust devil ripped the 2-car carport off the house across the street and folded it back over the house. If it would have been just a few yards to the other side, I would have been in for one hell of a ride.

    if you drop down on the 54 to the 10 thru Alamogordo/Las Cruces- then please stop at THE THING when you get into AZ. LOL its a tourist trap, but my kids (9 and 11) thought it was fun! Gas wasn't the best price there.

    maybe he likes it dirty?

    Solo driving is really nice, esp on long trips. Listen to what you want, stop when you want, no one kicking the back of your seat...

    They only time the truck gets driven is for off-road shenanigans, no sense in wasting energy to keep it clean...


    at this point though, I feel like I'm getting slut shamed and might actually clean it.

    that is a long ass drive, lol. Iowa, kansas, Texas, and New Mexico, were totally boring.

    New Mexico at least what you drive through is no where as nice as AZ.

    anyways, did some distance Monday, then 870 yesterday, than 550 today.

    tundra did great and was super comfy, you can pass people easy with the boost.

    Im not seeing that much anywhere else, it warms up for a few days and comes back down a bit

    either way , way better than dew points 70-80+ right now where I came from, 105 isn't shit compared to 90+ 75+ dew points

    Oh I'm sure. I couldn't handle crazy humidity. And at this point in my life I can't really stand the crazy hot days much anymore. That's why I'm looking at higher elevation areas (around Tucson) right now.
