Revcon Trailblazer Roadtrip

Day 2: Oregon to Idaho

On our way back to Discount Tire, we stopped by 4 Wheel Parts to get air fittings to resurrect our airbag system.  Riding around without them was.....uncomfortable.  They didn't have parts to sell, but graciously offered us a piece from a display for free.  They saved the day.  Big time. 

Discount Tire had our wheels installed as soon as well arrived, and after a bit more tweaking on the airbags, we grabbed lunch and finally got on the road.


Oregon is beautiful.  It was our first time there and sadly, we just didn't have the time or confidence in the Revcon to adventure off the highway.


Which was a good call because about 250 miles from Portland, we realized the fuel lines on the rear tank gave up the ghost.  At Deadman's Pass, of all places.


Thankfully, the Revcon has two fuel tanks.  Sadly, the larger tank was now unusable.  Which meant stopping for fuel every 100 miles.....on a 1500 mile trip.  Ugh.

We pushed long into the night.  Almost ran out of gas in Idaho and finally called it in Yampa, ID. 

Day 3:  Idaho to Arizona

We woke early, thanks to the freight trains.  Got on the road and were impressed with the snow covered mountains clear into Arizona.

Utah brought us into a snow storm.  Nothing terrible, but we were glad to have the new Cooper's under it.
