max power Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 What kind of mileage are you getting pulling that monster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantahertzdonut Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'm getting 10.8 in most conditions. However I have the trailer in for brake and axle service (more about that will be in the blog shortly) and I'm addressing some issues with the truck that will hopefully bump that up a little.

I highly recommend a spare or 2 if you don't have one/both. I learned the hard way that not having them is no good. Now have 2 full size spares at all times. And towing that thing on 1 tire on 1 side is no good, trust me lol. Keep it up man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantahertzdonut Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Max- Yes, it's heavy. Thanks for following! Madcat- That sucks about the blowout. Glad it didn't turn into an incident. I do have a spare for the trailer. I also got a bottle jack to lift the axle. I didn't get that till we got into New Hampshire and I was terrified at the thought of flatting out and not being able to change it. Per your advice I will look into getting a second spare. Just uploaded another update. I have more to type up which I will do my best to get done tonight. I have some work to do to the truck this morning, and that'll be an update in itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantahertzdonut Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Been behind on updates as usual but trying to catch up. There are a few updates to the blog with more ready to go once Angela finishes a entry. Weather in MI sucked so we moved on. Now we're in North Dakota. Heading toward South Dakota tomorrow. Lots of good riding out that way, I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantahertzdonut Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Big update to the blog, although still behind. At least I got all the ones that have been waiting since Michigan thanks to lousy or nonexistent internet.http://jimandangelatravel.wordpress.com/Currently in SD and loving it. Found one of the best driving roads I've ever been on and there's more to check out. Will have more to post in the next day or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wantahertzdonut Posted September 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 More updates and photos in the blog detailing our trials and tribulations as well as enjoyment of Badlands National Park. http://jimandangelatravel.wordpress.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I tried to read it at work today but for some reason it was taking forever to load. I need to catch up but sounds like the UP didn't end being as nice weather wise as you hoped. Now out west and I can't wait to read that, already looking forward to taking the family out there for some trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Also check your negative battery cables. Had the same thing happen to my accord before and it was just a bad negative cable. Like exact same scenario, I had to take it to a shop to get it located cuz I couldnt find it. No lie.

wantahertzdonut Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Let me know if the page still loads slowly. It may have to do with the file size of the photos. Badlands 1 and 2 are picture heavy so that could be doing it too. I think there are display options I can tweak if its loading slowly for everyone. UP was beautiful but cold. Plus we just wanted to go west so it was time to go! I assume you mean check the neg cables on the truck, right?

madcat6183 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yeah check the negative batter cables on truck, grounds. And it was fine when I reloaded it, no idea WTF was going on at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
