I'm good for about two days in that saddle then my butt starts complaining.Just wrapped up a 1800+ mile trip to get kid #2 from summer long wilderness camp to his first year of college. The truck is perfectly sized for the task but after the 4th 8 hour day on roads in the north east I kinda wish I was in another vehicle. Curious what others have done to make long distance driving more comfortable. We did make the best of it with some gravel road excursions in the Green Mountains plus some doorless drives with family by the Susquehanna. It still was a lot of seat time.

A few days ago I went out to local campground for a few days. Campground was empty.... slightly to hot for most I figured. Got setup, started grilling some food, enjoying birds and wildlife sounds. Someone drives in with older RV bus with hitch rack on it running a generator to power the A.C. driver and group park, get out walk away a hour or so later walk back. I'm packing up to leave, empty damn camping area where do you think they parked. ?
Luckily, I had only paid for first night so far. But at least it wasn't a long drive home and I did at least have everything in place working.

A nice but short drive through the Ocala National Forest on a reptile rescue.
This little patch was interesting.

Finally got them two rotten plugs out of that SGW and installed the extension . The engineer behind locating the SGW in my 22 needs 50 lashes . All said and done my alfaOBD came through again and speedometer reads correct again .

I guess it depends on why it's uncomfortable, but a lot of people seem to like the Seat Jackers or Seat Slammers for comfort on the legs. Or a dead pedal to rest their foot. I have no experience with any of those yet though.

Drove it home from the dealership. I babied it the whole way lol. First 60 miles I made sure to take backroads so I could stay under 55 and vary rpms. After that it was highway driving but in the Virginia hills so RPM's were constantly bouncing around. A few WOT thrown in there, lots of stopping for drinks etc. Tried to keep it under or around 2k as much as possible otherwise.

Nah, you needs some full pulls with wide open throttle under engine load. Get this rings properly set early.Drove it home from the dealership. I babied it the whole way lol.
