Two great gifts for two lucky drivers! Each one will recieve one of these lovely Hummer-sized "Red Cross First Aid Kits"!!

I think the first one should go to whomever can show off the biggest scar - whether it's a war wound or a C-section scar! And the second? Well - whoever bleeds first on the trail.

Maybe not.

K. First off, you're disgusting. Secondly, the contest was for the first person to bleed "on the trail." Okay. Go ahead.

Sean
ps - I'll stop this discussion now if you will.

You mean you want actual blood to drip on to the trail??? Well, um, gross but ok!!!!!

Just kidding!!! I guess I'll have to lose that competition!!

These are the correct issues. Two of their vehicles were Hummmers. One H1 and one SUT.

Outstanding! Do you have the swing out spare tire carrier? If not, you could add a HiLift Jack mount on the back bumper. It's a great way to stow the jack, and makes a good first step up to the ladder!

Sean

Izzit time to go yet?

I want an oompaloompa and I want it NOW!

Patience is NOT a virtue. I'm gonna go over to the Stitzmeister's and tinker with Toot's rig. Well. That didn't sound right, did it?!

You're gonna go where and do what to whom? You're right, that didn't sound right.

Quoting lines from Willy Wonka?

Can't wait to see your new brushguard, Sean. I need new ideas ... my truck seems maxed out on things to weld/screw/rivet/bolt to the outside.

I've been thinking about an SUT bed rack rumble seat for the kids. Little leather helmets and goggles, no worries 'bout puke.

Spare is on the Gobi. I think if I ever got a highlift I would put it up top also.

Yo Racer-X ...

Just got done reading the two articles. Good stuff! Want me to scan?

yes please. I bet many other would love to read it too. Need my email address?

I may still have those issues. I was looking at covers for the Mojave trip. It helps to know what the covers actually look like. I'm going to look now but I bet it's safe to scan them for others.

OK, I found part two (sept 05). Thinking back I do believe I gave my brother part one to read and never got it back. It would be great if you could scan it and email.

mornin pad!!!!!!

That works - but it's a PITA to put up there and take down. And I worry about balance and my poor old aching back! Aside from the spare, I try to keep only big, bulky, LIGHTER items up there - duffle bags full of sleeping bags, tents, etc., and the heavier stuff lower to the ground so my roof rack doesn't become a skid plate!

Sean

BTW - I'm having a Jerry can holder (twin) made to mount on Toot's spare tire this week. Any body else want one? I don't think the existing ones posted earlier in the thread are available for our bolt pattern.

Sean

Oh, and coughpadcough, Morning ever'body!

no, the donner party was farther north, out of Reno, the other city in the state of Nevada. we have a run there the same weekend as yours.

i'm following the larger people around, as i have a big appetite.

Jese, good 'ol Bundage is started to make it sound like I'm sitting on the couch munchin on Bon Bon's while he's doing all the work!!

You all will be happy to know that I actually took part in watching the CB installation!!!

And, IIIIII alone ordered and picked up the top lights that are way too small!!

Seriously, I did find a fab dual brush guard for $100 bucks, cash! It's on already!!

Morning all!

Pic of the J-can holder, please.

I'll see if I can figure out the scanner today. If not, somebody will be here tomorrow that knows. Scanning is easy but converting it to something other than humongo JPGs is the challenge. Maybe a PDF?

Toots -- What lights did you get that are way too small? Congrats on the b-guard score!

Tanx for the grats!!! Things turned out okay, huh???

They were the Warn lights but I'm embarrassed to say what size/type. It was that bad! I'm such a girly girl!! Anyway, I'm picking up PIAA's today to replace them........ two 520 drivers and two 580 pins. That should solve the problem!! NEVER TRY TO GO CHEAP!! NEVER!!!

Not sure we'll have a welcome bag because some of the stuff is in CA, some in NV. There are a few goodies for everyone and a number of prizes.

Whatcha have?
