Thanks. The calipers cost a few thousand. But heck, it's 13 years old and I've never had to put a dime into it. At 134,000 miles and a lot of original parts, why not. Between the brakes and a plethora of new parts, it's fun to drive again.

I built a lightweight, platform for the dogs a few weeks before we left. We have three Ridgebacks and this made the trip comfortable for all of them.

Just got back from a two week trip to Banff and Jasper. Saw everything from 85 and sunny, to 35 and snowing during that time. Maybe I'll throw some pics up in the trip report section.

Here in West Tn,North ms, its $2.81 to $3.00 per gallon. And so far pulling more weight then our 5th wheel. Still getting 8+ MPG. That should allow us to run 3600 miles or so.
600 miles to OKC, then to the Red woods back to OKC may have to buy some fuel in NM. Then fill back up in OKC for the trip back home. Around 5000 miles round trip.
