        Glad to hear from you, especially that you are doing well and relatively trouble-free.
        Great pix! S'pose they would let you drive one of those around the block?
        (Might have to buy 50 gal of diesel fuel to cover their cost!)

    Cool! That's what I call a big brother. Some might say Mutha but I won't go there.
    Looks like you're trying to carry a load too. Moving your roof box forward to the max would help both the weight distribution and possibly the aerodynamics. That's a big box!

      Problem with that box is that it's hinged at the front, so.. further forward means more difficult access. So it's a matter of filling it... heavy stuff goes low and up front. It's bigger than I'd wanted, but... with two people and two average sized dogs, it's the only way... and it's gotten us by fine for about 14,000 miles since May.

      And it'll likely be 16-17k by this time next week...

      it's a fine box :)
