around town, yep! get about 1-2mpg better then the excursion in town. on the highway thought it jumps way up. but 98 percent of my driving is stop/go city driving with a heavy foot.

i just got my expedition back from some family using it for 3 weeks and putting 2k miles on it. so glad to have her back!
went out to the state fair in Palmer,AK yesterday. on the way home we stopped at kink river to mess around alittle bit. the water was pretty high so i didnt get out as far as i wanted. but i did get to cross some water..i'm guessing it was about 12" or so with a decent current. went up a few tight trails and didnt get alot of pics but wanted to share anyhow.
almost 86k miles!

i do about 1k a month on both trucks..give or take alittle. thats mostly commuting and random drives on the weekends.
i've put over 20k miles on this thing so far and the only real repair has been brake pads and a alternator..not bad i dont think.
i knew they had planned road trips all over the state before they borrowed it so nothing i did not know.

after my family had the expy for 3 weeks and put 2k on it she was FILTHY! inside and out also considering the last full deep cleaning she had was 4/11 it really needed it!!
so i washed her, did the whole interior. get a coat of wax on there within the week. she sure shines up nice for being almost 15 years old
also rolled 86k the other day

I used to tell my customers at my m/c shop thet they are better off loaning out their wives or girlfriends than their bikes, at least they will know how they were treated.

lol its all okay guys. the truck was dirty when i gave it to them. i found no reason to clean it before they would be carting around two small kids. i changed the oil before they took it and i go about 7k between changes so i'm still good there. they gave it back with a full tank and thats all i asked
