  4. wow! Congrats Trent! Looks like it was a great time! Tom
  5. Appreciate the kind words Mark! I totally agree. Tom
  6. Yes! It was very scary driving through those conditions, I definitely learned something driving through this trip. Trust me i wanted to find the closet hotel and get off that road. But when you're in the northern frontier of Michigan each exit is maybe 20-30 miles apart and some don't have hotels! Definitely one trip i won't forget, but glad i made it through with our lives and truck still intact! Thats another thing, my truck did awesome through this trip, we had temp changes from 60 degrees in ohio, to 14* in northern MI. I drove through every single weather condition, Rain, Snow, Fog, Sun, Wind and the truck never complained once! Logged in over 2650 miles i think round trip. The truck did Awesome!! Tom
  7. Well thats it for the photos, got dark shortly after the last one. We stopped for some food at a rest stop, i ordered my food at Taco Bell, got my food and sat down at the table. I begin eating and start looking at my truck "i always park close so i can see my truck while I'm inside" and i see something leaking on the ground by the truck. Then i see feet and a STREAM of piss coming from behind MY truck! I tore ass out side leaving my food out and walk over to the scum bag. " the rest area we where at had a water main break and had to rest rooms available" there was plenty of woods around for him to piss in but he chose my truck instead. I tore that guy a new a$$ hole its not even funny, he claimed he didn't piss on my truck just near it. my tire was wet, my fuel tank was wet, my mud flap was wet! It wasn't raining the roads where dry as can be. I made the guy go in buy water bottles and clean his piss of my truck. He was scared shitless. We are talking about a 40 year old guy, and he was scared shitless of me a little 19 year old kid. haha!! But man was i pist! But we made it home safely!! Hope you enjoyed the pics and the stories!! Have a good night guys. Tom

  13. Trailer time!!! Brakes locked up, Airbags won't inflate... Ugh! 14* and I'm frozen solid!! OH and ben that loader had a Detroit in it. My goofy ass
  14. Vast Nothingness... GolfCart anyone? Ah! Finally Made it Long story short, Guess my pictures didn't make it. When i typed in Calumet, MI to the GPS it was going to take me through canada. Well i didn't realize that until about 2 1/2 hours into my trip. Once i realized i had to go down and around the lower part of canada back through pa and ohio. Wasn't that bad though only added 2 hours to the trip. It got dark soon there after. Once we got to Michigan it started Snowing, then changed to freezing rain. Single axle trucks or any truck for that matter don't like slippery roads. Those last 3 hours had me on the edge of my seat. (thats why no pics) i saw a jacked knifed truck, car flipped over, etc. I don't think i went over 15 mph the whole way to the hotel. The roads where complete shit... The next day i got up around 530 and the roads where still slick, just as slick as a slip n' slide in the winter. It was about 6 hours to the trailer from where i stopped for the night. Once the sun came out the roads got better.
  15. Mack Attack!! Still heading North! Saw a cabover though!!!

I didn't know that until 2 hours into our trip. Upstate NY Still heading North. Not realizing I'm heading towards Canada. Water in NY
