Sounds like a blast to me. Unfortunately, I can't get mine to make it to Moab and back lately without something stupid breaking so I probably wouldn't even make it to the border.

Are you dropping a diesel into yours? That was the only thing I heard from a bunch that did something like that a few years ago. Unleaded was hard to come by south of Mexico.

oh yeah definatly, for three reasons 1 being that my montero has 160,000 thousand miles on it and that long of a trip would destroy the engine...and the other is for the gas mileage that the little diesels are capable of getting cause that much fuel isnt going to be cheap, and the third being that the little diesels are pretty tough...and there just plane ol cool im also going to get either a new transmission or have a complete rebuild on the one i have in there now.
