It is, but you have to be extra careful once you leave the interstate. Most of the other highways are only one lane in each direction, and many of them are quite narrow.

Hwy 14 sometimes would not be open yet. But with the mild winter I think it probably is.

Just curious how many people here have a manual transmission diese; truck. I'm thinking of making the clutches for these trucks. A really good performance upgrade at a reasonable cost. Just curious if there is interest, he says he gets a lot of interest from the horse trailer guys so he is already to start.

He already makes a performance upgrade for your truck. They use it a lot in 4x4 stuff.

Sure, why not.
