16,583mi; Estimated 3100hrs
Through the past 12 months, I’ve gone through the Tucker top to bottom to make it more reliable for backcountry excursions for the family. With the repower to the 440, she has a TON of power and torque for hill climbs and deep powder days. She can easily carry 8+ with the benches on the back and two in the cab. Everything works (Heat, defrost, wipers, gauges, etc) with the exception of the fuel gauge and rotation of the cab light (light works).
Some of the repairs & upgrades include:
-Significant number of (25+) New Rollers on Tracks, sourced from Tucker. Comes with several new spares.
