In an attempt to increase global warming, I ould guess the loaner tank is about 40lbs of CO2? My tank is 20lbs, and this tank is almost twice as big. How big of a CO2 foot print is that?

I guess that would depend on how dang big a tire ya put it in....

Aaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahah

None since it just goes back to the atmosphere whence it came. That is different than burning fossil fuels that have been buried for millions of years and adding to the CO2 content of the atmosphere.

If you were crossing the Poplar Street Bridge into St. Louis at 1:09 PM CT today, I was 2 cars behind you. My eyes lit right up. It was raining hard and I couldn't make out the plates, but it was a Proton on trailer being hauled by a larger dark SUV. And the roof rack was absolutely jammed.

Did it look like this?

If anyone cares or is taking notes, I changed my reservations to the Moab Valley Inn, 711 South Main in Moab.

If that's not what I saw, it was a freakishly similiar rig. I wanted to get up alongside for a better look but traffic gets a little nutty in that spot. They zoomed off onto 70, while I puttered along in the 44 West lane.

Jim came over after lunch today & we tag teamed our whips into shape for Moab...

Hooked up my clevis & tow strap.

Put my stock VX rims & terra graps on his ride.

Got all of my fluids topped off.

Greased the driveline.

Rotated my tires.

Re-installed all the belly armor on the VX.

Fillum' up with gas, & away we go in the morning...

Everyone travel safely, & well see y'all in Moab, maybe even meet up wit'chall in Glenwood springs and/or Grand Junction...

That was me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Were you driving a VX? I have had my eyes peeled, since there isn't really anything else to do. I am from the KC, MO area, but man, St Louis drivers are a-holes. Thats awesome that someone spotted me!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw a yota behind me today with blacked out headlights and a funky grill insert, thought it was a VX for a second... I am getting super paranooid/hyped.

You guys won't believe it, but I had another blow out on the trailer tonight!!!! That will make 2 blowouts, and 4 new tires. The trailer owner is payin me back, I told him I would buy one of them for wear and tear cost. I am in Laramie, Wyoming right now. I had to change that last tire while it was snowing in flip flops, shorts and a tshirt...booooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! See ya'll in a few days. Someone tell Wyoming that its almost summer...

Good to hear you’re almost here. I spent the day prepping for the trip. Sorry to hear you’re having trailer tire problems, but the VX is 2 tons it’s no lightweight. See you on Monday!

GVW is 4500, I figure with extras and whatnot, somewhere a bit over 5k. So yes, definitely heavy, and the Expy is 7500lbs, so I figure with the trailer and gear, I am rolling between 13000 to 15000 lbs. Yikes, no wonder I was getting 8mpg until I got further north where they don't dilute gas with ethanol. Now I am getting around 11-12 mpg, means ethanol is actually making the environment worse...

Blasting off in just under 5 hours...think I'll try to get a little sleep now!
Think I'll need a few Monsters for the drive tomorrow. Meeting up with Kat around 9-10 at the petrified forrest and then it's a mini Az convoy to the big MOAB!!!!!:bgwp:
