I ran my wires down the door weatherstipping into the engine compartment.

Will you or someone else have a fridge/freezer? How about sticking them with a wood popsicle stick, dip in warm chocolate and freeze. The cake portion should get too hard and hopefully end up like a small cake on a stick. Depending on whether or not you guys enjoy a "night cap" before...

Just remember, don't put the sticky side on the wound, use the other side. We were doing some first aid/trauma training and one of our "victims" had a head wound. A teammate dug out one of his feminine hygene pads and stuck it to the head wound. Satisfied with his quick handy work, he moved...

For what it's worth, keep your 80.

Aaron, I'd be interested in hearing more about your Aisin manual hub swap. Are you putting something together similar to the ORS kit? Thanks. Ian

A couple of years ago, before starting the fly 747s again, my cousin spent about 3 months hiking the PCT solo from the Mexican/US border heading north. He enjoyed it, but it was harder then he expected. Edit Some useful links: PCT Planning Program PCT Association PCT Hiking Journals on...

Thanks. I've got two skid plates from BudBuilt, the front one even has an oil drain hole. The Fumoto drain sounds like a great little mod to add.
