To answer the questions Peter.... both! Yer gettin' old, and its wide(r). My fj60 is set up with an 1" of tire outside the fenders, and it sits wider. I find the view is a little obstructed with the substantial A and B pillars, and the low window line. Placement seems to require more looking around. The greehouse isnt as greehousey but on the upside, I'd much rather roll in this than a 60.

I beat up the fuel tank skidplate more than a fair amount. Maybe there's also the hard habit of having the diffs on the passenger side - going up on Mineral Creek it would definitely help.

That fuel tank .... sucks. I don't think its "you". Since the 25g aux tank is coming out, I've considered scrapping my plans for a rear winch in the muffler location, mounting the spare kit and plumbing it as the main, to ditch the current tank. It's a result of the Steyr Gwagon really steep departure angle philosophy that isn't my favorite. I can't recall the last time I couldn't avoid using the jerry on a truck in the east, let alone needing 50 gallons. Not having the tumor hanging down in the middle of the breakover would be sweet though. I won't be doing any serious stuff with this until spring to find out how it affects my placement.

And more on topic, I'm envious of the trip. perfect timing.

@pmatusov you have to let me know when you up in Durango, I will take you out for Beer or drink. It area I love since I was kid I remember coming up in the early 70's as kid, I was Southern Cal Kid, went San Dieguito High School in Encinitas, so Roberto and Juanita run would be fun as well as comming down to see Agile. Love road tripping in the truck.
