1500 MILES • 27 HOURS • 5 DAYS
The Conclusion of the Rugged PTT
Half the crew drove back!
This trip was nothing short of amazing for the RUGGED PTT CREW!
Through closed roads, construction, heavy rains, canyon adventures, and a few mechanical mishaps, the Rugged Power Taco Tour survived with evry vehicle in tact! It was a long trip with friends, family, and lots of TACOS!
