If you had seen my face when I saw the site up and running for the first time, it would have reminded you of a scene from Quest for Fire. I still think of cell phones as “new-fangled,” and Tivo is obviously magical. I’ll pass your praise on to the Art Department.

It’s easy to do, and I think you’d like it. Great pics, BTW!

I think “enjoying” is stretching it a bit, especially when one is lying under the truck working overhead. About like enjoying a stroke. If I had an air conditioned shop with a lift, I would be unstoppable. Well, a lift and a refrigerator. One must store the “cold wrench.”

Yes, that would be the one. The trouble is that I am such a great companion for a day on the water my friends all insist on taking me saltwater fishing every weekend I have free. I buy fuel, I bring beer and bait, and I can fillet fish like a house afire. I can’t get a day free to fish by myself, and that’s a good problem to have. As Jim Overman says, “You don’t need a boat; you need a friend with a boat.”

I’ve not been on your site for a while…makes me long to hear one of your stories while taking a break at work. Site is looking great and looks like you are enjoying this wonderful summer heat we are having!

The approach angle looks to be improved, and the annoying vibration of the factory unit is gone. Granted, I haven’t taken the truck off-road and really used the bull bar yet. I’m looking forward to strapping my canoe on the roof bars and using the bull bar as a forward tie-off point.

I don’t want to skip ahead, but I can’t wait to post the photos of the end result.

Know you are too.
