1600 cc VW. Less travel than a Raptor. Way tougher. I was in the car for the entire 13.5 hours. Roughest 13.5 hours of my life. 3' whoops at 60 mph, literally pounding through them. My body hurts so bad. Nerfing and getting Nerfed at 60 mph hurts too. I am working on a trip report, all in all it was an amazing trip.

Thats definitely rough, nothing like a beam front end lol

 

[BOJANGLES]

Congrats Trey!!

 

[Phyguy]

Would you do it again?

Sounds like a great trip.

 

[treypal]

I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Well once my body puts itself back together.
