LOL, just the ventile ones...... Anyone still have a 60/40 parka?

Cabelas had some anoraks this past winter, both insulated and uninsulated. I don't care for them myself (I'd rather have more ventilation options) but my wife likes them.

Thanks... I don't think we'll be doing much technical trail travel, considering I'll be pulling a 5th wheel toy hauler.. but I'm sad/glad Alaska is getting more accommodating to travel, I guess.

Thanks, thats good to know. In looking at the geometry of my brush guard I'd have to install some sort of riser to get the attachment high enough that the cables wouldn't rub on the hood. So, no risers, I guess.

Tasha (my last sibe) was an escape artist... I finally had to find her a new home when she learned that she could break out through closed windows (5 windows and 4 visits to Animal Control that week.....) Angel (my current sibe) likes nothing in the world more than chasing squirrels... I won't...

The last time I drove the Alcan (1974), the conventional wisdom was to put some screen up in front of the windshield on some 2x4's bolted to the front bumper....mainly because most of the highway was gravel. Didn't seem to need it then, but I saw a lot of vehicles with them. These days the...

It all depends on the dog. We currently have a Sibe, Angel....she's quite different in personality than the last Sibe we had....Angel is quite calm (for a Sibe), and very, very good around kids. My last sibe was quite a bit more hyper.. But, all Sibes need a LOT of exercise - a good hour's...

Here's another report, with even better mileage: http://www.pricedigests.com/price-digests/2010/3/7/test-drive-ford-2011-f-series-super-duty.html Best line in it:

I'd be very happy with 15 and ecstatic with anything over 18...

Have you checked with tool rental places? Or, a cheap unit from HF...and when it breaks, return it.

Practical Sailor (kind of like consumer reports, for boaters) did a survey...the West Marine brand scored quite highly. I have a pair of 7x50 in my truck, and they're as good as my Steiner 7x50s, but lighter (and a lot less expensive). Or, Swarovski, Kahles, Leopold, are good brands.

Kind of how I feel about it.... for that much money, I would hope the Mr. Coffee comes standard. Or a cappuccino machine.

Anybody seen (in person) the Pelican 0450 toolchest? Comments?

What about putting a PL-259/SO-238 connector on the coax and breaking it there?

Some people want the short version, some want the long. Kind of a Mounds/Almond Joy situation. The FRS radios are about $20 each. Buy a couple (they're REALLY handy for all sorts of things, imho) and try them. If they work, then worry about the things that make them better - rechargeable...

Excessive complications for the purpose of the test determining the suitability of FRS radios for the communications requirements specified. If FRS radios are found to be suitable, phase IIa is recommended to include acquisition of rechargeable power cells, belt cases, and other accoutrement'...

Well, I don't know how many you run with... But it WILL take MORE than OnE!:elkgrin:

Go to Costco, Bestbuy, Target, Sears or any other emporium of your choice. Purchase a sufficient number of Motorola FRS radios to test (probably at least two). Don't forget some AA batteries. Test. Let us know how they work for you. If needed, we will be glad to tell you what to do next :)

My 2002 Excursion with the 7.3 gets 18 MPG, up hill, down hill, stop and go, freeway, pulling a 8K trailer or not.... My 2009 6.4 F350 gets between 14 and 17 MPG, depending... Towing the 14K 5th-wheel toy hauler it gets around 14-15. Unfortunately, I've had the cab off twice for maintenance...

Nice. Are those LED's? Where'd you find them?
