Ahem, 40lbs of propane.

Is that 9 BBQ bottles or all in one big tank?

Beastly.

Dig the Dickinson Newport fireplace. How's that working out? Just enough heat? Too much?

Forget those lifted trucks with stacks rolling coal on 22s with the 5th wheel behind. I would rock this machine anywhere or any time. Except tight parking lots and parking garages of course. Or drive throughs. Worth it though.

I think that machine may have redefined my retirement rig...

Very well done. Did you do the work yourself?

How does it handle the 9-ft wide Baja highway lane and curva peligrosas?

What transfer case?

Pulling up to some of those hard to get to spots in Baja with that beast!
Great job!
