The other 10%
Sorry maybe I wasn't clear but the other 10% I was referring to couldn't be done by most LC's either.
Still it's a nice bumper if you travel at night where there is open range cattle.
Thanks,

I like this bumper - Animal strike protection certainly has its place.

I was just saying I'd rather be over prepared that not. Every mod on any of my trucks is the direct result of being in a situation where I needed that particular piece of equipment and didn't have it. Like having to back track 50 miles because I didn't have a winch or lockers to get over a 10' section of trail.

or anything with a GVWR of under 30k lbs . . . . unfortunately, diesel pick-ups aren't the only offenders
*note the flapper on top of the right hand pipe*
Thats just wrong. The stacks need to be bigger, at least to roofrack level.:sombrero:

Hey Scott. I hope you'll be popping back on the Portal here soon, I've got a dilemma and need some advice. After reading your thread here I immediately ran out to my Jeep and ripped out the CB. I than made a bracket and installed a brazier over the passenger's seat. Then I got some good coals out of the wood stove and an old army blanket out of storage and gave those smoke signals a go. Practice makes perfect and all that. Should I have used a native American trade blanket instead? Should I have soaked the blanket first? Have you done any articles on overland fire suppression systems?
The reason I ask is that that old army blanket caught fire and with the panicky flogging of it trying to put it out my Jeep caught fire. It's burning pretty good right now and any advice in a very timely manner would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
You know, I probably should have pulled the Jeep out of the garage before coming in to post this....:elkgrin:

I think the CB vs Ham argument is sort of silly.
If you travel alone then odds are a Ham is going to be better.
If you're traveling with 6 other vehicles that have CB's, you'll be probably be hard pressed to convince the other 5 that you are so great to have along that they should all go buy ham radios and get their licenses so you're willing to go with them.
If you're traveling with 6 vehicles that have ham, you'll be hard pressed to convince them to all buy CB's so you can talk to them.
If you're in a mixed group then ideally the leader and the tail end charlie should have both Ham and CB, but definitely the person at the end of the convoy should have both.

No, no, no! The stacks have to kept low and accessible. I can't heat up my can of Pork-n-Beans if I can't reach the top of the stack!
