I can't believe that no one mentioned this yet. I feel like this forum used to be famous for that suggestion! I probably can't get enough time off at the new job to drive 600+ miles at 45 miles per hour plus breakdowns and at whatever terrible gas mileage this gets.... LOL!
Re: My new R180
Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2019 11:04 amHmm. 600 miles at 45 mph is 13 1/3 hrs. Would it get 6 mpg? One day to get there, 2 days to get back. 100 gallons or so of gas. How are the tires, cooling system and electrical system? Personally, I'd be tempted.

Ha ha ha ha. It's currently registered and insured but without thorough testing who knows how well those parts might hold on a long journey. My nerves and blood pressure couldn't handle it!

Maybe it is time to walk away before you have any more time and possibly money in this Old IHC.

Walk away?! Are you off your rocker? I just bought it.... I'm not losing my money and not getting a truck.

Just be patient; keep searching for transportation. Everything will work out; and, you'll be enjoying your truck, in no time.
I used U-ship for my R-120; and it worked out great.
