Went for a week long holiday in the Carryall, nothing exploded or needs replacing.
I rooted the tires and placed the out of balance one on the rear - the truck will do 65 at just a shade under 2000 RPM and was pretty much shake free. Except for the motor which shakes quite a lot:)
Got into some nice back country and single track which had me laughing because the roads are on maps but there is grass growing down the middle and in places the brush touches both sides, no place to turn around either - which begs the question - how many poor folks with trailers got on the road and had to travel all the way to the other end? 50 miles of nasty at 4 or 5 miles an hour. It took me about 5 hrs to get through and never above 3rd gear.
Saw lots of bears , one baby grizzly a few marmots and a couple of owls.
Still collecting parts for the compound turbos.

and another windshield frame fell in my lap - top perfect - bottom not so much.

take care
Bruce
