    Good stuff Bighurt!! I doubt we'll ever see the likes of the Saturn V again....I'd love to see us get out the low earth orbit rut and go somewhere. My old man worked for NASA 58-63, and my godfather 62-75. Both public affairs officers.

    Prepping my M1009 for moving

    Va isnt too bad on MV's. I had one registered as a K5 Blazer, the DMV doesnt need to know or care that its a former MV. For it to pass Va state inspection, you'll have to get a light for your rear plate. What part of Va are you moving to? Good luck, keep us posted [thumbzup]

    Mpg??????

    According to my GPS, at 55 mph on the speedo, gps shows about 60-62. I cruise around 65 (indicated) and GPS said about 70 +/- 2. I'm so confused....Maybe my speedo is way off to begin with.

    Mpg??????

    Are you running stock tires? I had to recalc my MPG after I installed 33's on the truck. I'm getting about 16 or 17. I have no idea what it would have been with stock tires...at the time, I only drove the truck once or twice before I deployed....had the tires changed while overseas.....
