    Getting water out

    Thanks Martyn and bb - I am following Martyn's second idea but using a oak dowel because I liked the idea of a hard wood.

    Realistic Amount of Miles You Can Expect From an Unlimited

    Research and stay away from the generation that had the bad oil pump failures. I have read many of those failing and taking the motor with it.... I would save up for a 2012 or newer.... plus you might get a lot for your 2004 than you think. http://greensboro.craigslist.org/cto/5426552749.html

    Best way to carry dog food?

    I use old Mayo jars. In fact I keep a full one in the truck all the time in case we stay out past feeding time on a day trip. On a trip if I am not refilling, I can recycle as I go.
