Ok, its finally happening (it must be happening since I've went and bought the tickets), Flying out to Raleigh NC on Monday, then somehow get from the airport there to Halifax NC where the truck is located at. Then after going over it driving it to just north of Phoenix AZ. I've got two general routes I could take. The "higher" road along Interstate 40 most of the way, or the "lower" road along Interstate 95, then I 20, then I 10. I've been looking at the maps online (going to buy a hard copy before I go) and it looks like the lower route is less hilly and somewhat new to me since I've driven most of I 40 several times in the past. The advantage of I 40 is I might be able to time it just right to spend Thanksgiving in OKC depending on the truck and our timing. I say our because I'm taking a friend along to help spell me while driving and also for the company ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Since were flying and not driving out to the pick up site, I can't bring a ton of tools along, but I just thought I'd ask what some people would recommend we bring. Now this truck is "road ready" as far as Chris could make it in the time he had it and hopefully it gets us all the way home with out any major (or any?) problems. (were flying out on Monday the 22nd)
Also wanted to see who lived along the lower or higher route that would be willing to offer their assistance should we need it. If your willing, please send me a PM along wtih whether your upper or lower and a way to contact you offline
(phone preferred), also where abouts your located along the route please.
Now depending on the route, I may make changes such as - perhaps on the lower route, leaving I 20 around Augusta, then proceeding thru Macon, Columbus, Montgomery, and back to I 20 around Meridian. This would give me a chance to meet Papabear who I used to chat with a lot when I was first on here
(provided he'd want me lol)
So while not in a hurry, I'd like to get back around Friday or Saturday, but I've got until Sunday or even Monday afternoon 2ish my time at the latest.
Let me hear your feedback![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
