I must be nuts!!!!
After all of the trouble I went through while building my truck to repair all of the rust issues, I spent last week sitting on the beach at Crystal Beach TX. I spent several hours today cleaning as much of the salt and sand from it as I could, but it is everywhere 
Oh well, I built it to drive

You can either drive it or look at it. And if I recall correctly, you drive yours and I applaud you for it. Aren't you the guy who drove the Tail of the Dragon down in TN with your truck? Drive the wheels off it!

Yep, drove the Dragon last year and yep, pulled the teardrop almost 1100 miles this trip.
We had a blast on the beach, there were 15 teardrop trailers in all. Also turned down 4 offers on my truck, guess south TX folks want effies pretty bad

I know what you mean. That sand and salt will get into places you didn't even know you had places. You will be finding it and cleaning it out for a year at least. Glad to see that you got to enjoy your truck and have some fun.

Drive it like you stole it. Its far better to enjoy the truck than to get all wound up and run for cover efverytime there's a hint of rain, sleet, snow, etc.
Sounds like an awesome trip, good for you
