[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1395578, member: 329"] It wasn’t a FJR, it was a 1989 Venture Royale and I was pulling a trailer...which helped some of the time because the drag kept the rear end from sliding out. It did not help the last 120 miles when we had 6-8 inches of newly dumped shale and had to ride in 16-20 inch tracks the big trucks made through the shale. The whole section was one long washboard that overwhelmed the suspension. Fortunately, it was dry but horribly dusty. I could see big trucks coming a mile away and they looked like a tornado was chasing them. I would stop in the road and turn my head away until after they passed and the dust settled. [/QUOTE]
