It's been a great truck and has certainly gotten plenty of use. I loved the interior size for camping. A full size bed, fridge, and still plenty of room to move around. After I did the damage to the passenger side of the truck, I pretty much stopped driving it and gave up. I don't like driving damaged vehicles and the doors are pretty beat up. I could find new doors but at this point, I want something less extreme. The truck is too big. It's tackled every decent class 6 road in New Hampshire, even the hard ones, and some private land stuff as well. It just goes through everything. I generally don't do a lot of hard trips though and a mildly modified vehicle on 32-33" tires and better gas mileage will be a better fit for my needs.

The last couple of trips I used this:





















I'm not yet sure what next year will bring as the Porsche was never intended to be a long term vehicle for me.

I am sooooo tempted. I am sure I could get new doors and I already have the seats to it....Replace the carpet in my truck and use the old carpet for this one...oh the possibilities.

I like the Porsche. The Transyllvania is epic. How does it do off-road?
