    Driving Cross Country. Have you done it?

    You have just described what wildland firefighters do with these trucks every day. Not to say things don't get torn up though. You will not be able to drive these trucks like a Baja race truck, your body won't be able to take it.

    M38A1 external power connector

    Oh, there are a few of us. Welcome Apex, hope you enjoy your truck. Lots of technical assistance here. Nobody in Houston to recommend to fix your truck. My suggestion is learn to fix it yourself. It is simple.
