There are some fairly specific rules about how to do this legally, so if you're even remotely considering trying it, read up first! I have a friend in the LA County Sheriff's department who had been briefed on this 'phenomenon' and explained to me what his department told him. The biggest issue ...

One pair (two tires). These do not look to be ever used... I got them as part of a trade and I have never used them. All parts seem to be there. A very quick search puts these in the $90.00 price range for new. How about $40.00 with local pickup? Of course offers welcome. http://traveltoad.smugmug ...

Wish I could make it - love that area. Will be out of town, though...

I see what you mean, but for the young or the fairer sex, the lower recoil and the lesser blast of a .22 makes it a good first step in the learn-to-shoot process compared to most "full sized" calibers. Plus, particularly with today's prices, shooting a .22 is always cheaper than anything else ...

I strongly suspect you'll like the P99 if you liked the way the P22 felt (and I agree - it's a well-designed pistol). The other nice feature of the P22 is ...

With the 400 miles off-pavement I'm sure you were pleased with the expanded fuel capacity you added to your rig. What was your tank reading when you finally got to a gas station at ...

A question arose as I was thinking about this - if I were to install a piece of sheet metal on the roof rack deck and ground that to the truck's chassis, would that be a way of creating the ground plane that a hard top vehicle's roof offers?

thanks, Everyone!

I'll be very interested to see how one goes about cleaning/re-building a winch like that. Steam clean? Brake cleaner? Inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks for sharing the trip report and pictures - good stuff! Saw some of the same kind of bloom in Joshua Tree NP (on foot, of course) a couple of weeks ago. My first thought on seeing the Mustang was, "Four wheels and freedom" - it's shocking at times where people choose to go in their vehicles ...
