    Post up your drawer/storage system

    Hmmm. Can you provide a little more detail on this image? I get the lower section recessed to accommodate the slide, but the upper-end is my question. I'm assuming the leading edge is dadoed to accommodate the drawer face and not the length of the box, yes? Thanks

    Looking at a '99 Cruiser, any thoughts?

    One thing to check and consider is if the timing belt has been changed. I believe the factory recommends to change at about 100k. Enjoy, we love our rig.

    Winch question - steel vs synthetic rope

    Another observation in the derivative "Hawse vs. Roller" debate: assuming your roller is of the overlapping variety and the rollers are smooth - they provide a bit of protection to the synthetic line from those folks that park by braille. I have a new setup and the line is tuck down the corner...
