Successfully made our first big roadtrip from Vancouver BC to Terrace BC and back again. Thanks again for all who helped with my leaking head gasket problem. Coolant level dropped < 1/4" so loss was minimal.

I bought a spare radio suppression relay, used AMM to turbo hose and lower pressure rad cap (100kPa or ~15psi). Even had a spare timing belt just in case.

Total distance of trip 2,946km (1,831 miles) and managed 30.25mpg (25mpg USG) or 9.35L/100KM. Considering we were loaded with gear + 5 people and using A/C 1/3 of the time, that's not too shabby!

I'll post a few pics when they are developed.
