Juan

Post by bpj911 »

I have not driven as much as Juan but have driven about 35k miles in the last five years... Looks like no one here really drives that much except for Juan. I drive mine ALOT but Juan takes it to a whole new level. I am glad you found a computer down there Juan! Take care and hope you can stand Rob. Thanks for all the help

I have had my truck for about four years but it took me at least a year to get it on the road and have driven it around three thousand miles. I think Juan and Cabell will be the two high mileage folks and they have the diesel engines I think. Fun to drive.

I bought mine in August of this year and probably put 700 miles on it.
This would include a round trip ride to Gilbert PA...160 miles round trip.
Every drive is blast and can't wait for more trips.

Hey Bryan, brought my own notebook here, good thing the hotel has a good WiFi connection.
Rob is Ok, he is a workaholic and you really have to keep up his pace but the only real problem with him is he snores. He sounds like a Rhino in mating season. :lol:

Take Care.

How far

Post by captain kirk »

I have owned mine for a little over 9 years and have driven it about 2500 miles, mostly back and forth to parades. The farthest i have driven was about 30 miles one way in a convoy with other military vehicles to a show at American Legion post this past summer. Had a great time and hope to do more of that in the next few years.

I've had mine for a little over three years and I've put just over 3,000 miles on her. She's my daily driver.

Bought the M37B1 that is now my shop runner in 1985, Cummins powered 5-speed OD. It has roughly 200,000 miles on it now. Mileage was 17,000 when I got it. Most of the miles were put on it when it was a service truck in my grading business. Still ready at a moments notice.

I got my truck in October of 2005. Backed it off the trailer. Drove it once around the backyard about 500 feet. Then I parked it and began tearing it down. I wish I would have played more before disassembly, but this spring she will back out of the garage under her own power and be drivable again :D

I didn't have my truck very long, less than a year I think, but I drove it a couple hundred miles. I'd have driven it a lot more except the original engine was very sick (40 PSI cranking pressure) and I couldn't afford to rebuild it.
I think PoW has the record for the most miles, over 250,000 about 10 years ago when I first talked to him.
Speaking of PoW - and not to hijack this thread - has anybody seen or heard from him lately?
