    Do any PIAA's come with covers?

    My PIAA 520s only came with the rock guards. I went to Pep Boys and purchased a pair of soft KC Light covers that fit perfectly. You can see them by clicking on the link in my sig below.

    Apalachian trail

    A buddy of mine on my SAR team did it back in 2005 at 60 yo. Here's a link to his Trail Journal: http://trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?trailname=2625 He has a listing of gear and whatnot for review. He's doing the AT again in 2009 from the opposite direction.

    Good expedition platform for a rookie?

    . . . and you may want to look for 3rd Gens up to 2000 (I believe that was the last year it was offered) which had the rear E-Locker as an option too. I wish my '01 had one.
