Hey, the paint matches...when the CARC has water on it:

Had a break in the rain, and mounted the generator. It will be nice to have electricity on this trip...

Had another break in the rain, so we changed the gear oil in all six planetary hubs. No signs of any hub problems.

And our second road test went well...

Couldn't get a long enough extension cord? Looks good.

Took it on a 450-mile road test today. Spending the night in Boise Idaho, on our way to Waco Texas.

It's in the 20s here, and we are predicted for snow...

What no pics! Didnt happen if we can see it ?

What kind of fuel consumption did you get? I'm betting 50 gallons used for 450 miles.

No chalk block or drip pan...do push ups!

Lol, it's chocked, and it doesn't need a drip pan.

Lol, more like 100 gallons. The MTVR is rated at 4.5 mpg...

Wish I had known you were moving and I would have helped with some money for fuel. I've had my eye on a James Baroud RTT in Medford but don't want to pay $500 to ship it but would have paid $400 to help get another MV to TX (by the way, I'm a member of Lone Star MVPA if you'd like to hang with other big, green, trucks).

Ouch, even at US prices that's a lot of bucks for the bang.
