I hope you are aware that Sweden is pretty big, and Lule? is rather far
north... It's about 900km from Stockholm... It will take a very long day to just
drive one way with a pick up... You'd need a minimum of two days for a trip
there and back from Stockholm. If you live further south in Sweden, you
might want to add another day to it.
(I'd probably use three days just from Stockholm, if I were to estimate
things...)
