12arotary is on a distinguished road
I've finally worked out all the kinks in this project and wanted to see what it could handle so I took it on a 900mile camping trip with a friend of mine out to eastern Oregon and northern Nevada. It made it without incident over the snow covered cascades and reached a max elevation of 6800ft!
I'm running studded snow tires so it handled the snow packed mountain roads with ease.

Averaged 38mpg
