Have a safe trip!!!

Snow is coming, you might shoot down south from Flagstaff on I-17 to I-10 to Tucson, then head east on I-10 to avoid weather.
Good luck!

HELLO everyone. Sorry it has taken so long to get back here. I did get the truck and drove 2150 miles without the first issue. We stoped at the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, and rode mostly back roads the whole way home. A very good trip. I think I may have averaged 6.25 MPG without he tarp on and 70PSI in the tires. My kids love it and they even get to ride to school in it now and then. The truck was in excellent condition and full of tools, jack, chains, hoses, etc. The winch even works flawlessly has been used to extract a Kubota excavator NO PROBLEM!! ALL I need now is new seat cover or cushions for the driver seat kinda rotted. If there is any help I can provide anyone please let me know. Thank you all for the help. A very special thanks to Mr Warren (silverstate55) for previewing the truck for me and helping me out with several questions THANK YOU MR. WARREN. CSM Davis for enduring my many phone calls on the trip just to ask questions about small concerns I had THANK YOUR CSM Davis. Thanks for all the offers of help and information that allowed the recovery to be a complete sucess.

Nice truck. You deserved a trouble free recovery, glad to hear it. My Barstow to Northern Utah recovery is still in progress and the first 170 miles to Vegas was entertaining and forced me to learn a lot about the truck. ABS brakes locking up and various leaks. You completed twice the mileage I will, I really take my hat off to you. My toolbox is chained shut and I haven't cut the lock yet. It looked brand new including the cover but you can't let a perfect looking truck lull you into complacency on your pre-flight checks. You are a brave one. I am heading to Vegas tomorrow to get mine closer to home. Thanks again for this post showing how it can be done.
