Even if a really nice M35 cost more out West, would be far cheaper to buy a western rig.
...can you image the fuel bill to drive this monster at WOT/55mph for 72 hours?
For me, it would be about the adventure, more than anything...and I am sure it was for these two fellows.

Re: Iron Butt Award
Great video! I almost bought an M35a2 instead of my current J10. Kind of glad I didn't as it would be the most impractical vehicle I've ever owned and there would have been a bit of a road trip to get it home. I think one day I will end up with one, just gotta come up with a use for it.
