I had one for a month and I rarely used it just decided I didn't want one. I carry one with me in case of emergency I can call collect but other then that I don't use it. Plus I don't know how to take pics with it. LOL. Hence why I always use my digital camera (14.1 mega pixels comes out better then 2 mega pixels anyways) LOL. To me if I can't take a decent picture (not one that is really grainy) it isn't worth taking.

Once I get the ironhead up and going I plan on making a custom mount that I can set my camera on and take pictures with and videos. But when I do that I have to upgrade my damn memory card (currently 4 gb but my dad says one day he will get me a 8-16 gb one.)

Maybe my dad and mom's Droid like phones but my old Motorola phone is broken and such and sucks. I don't care either way I carry my camera with me everytime I can plus it stops me from killing the battery in my phone. I hate using it (the cell phone) anyways.

I use a camera also. I'm too stupid to use the one on my cellphone. But my cellphone is like the one that guy has in that TV commercial where he says a cellphone needs number buttons so if you need a 4 you can push it. I have no idea what they are advertising but I like his accounting.

Howdy az gang.

Craig that's exactly how me and my dad fell about phones. My mom on the other hand is the opposite. It drives me nuts going down the road hearing a ring tone every 15 seconds. LOL

Good Morning Everyone.

Bill,
Where did you find that stat? Good question? We had what 5+ pages 250-300+ members before you & I cleaned house & where were all those people?
If you look what has always been the most active members come from outside the Metro Phoenix area. When we revived this Chapter Garbz & Mark were the only members from the Phoenix metro area. We have had times that the Phoenix Metro area brought us several active members.
How many of those live in the Metro Area?
I guess those of us that live in the sticks have nothing else to do.

This is ILLINOIS' problem as well... we have TONS of member who say they are from IL, but on 3 of us ever post on the IL board, all the rest are visitors. But yet I see them posting in the Excursion forum (IL has a ton of Excursions apparently), and on other boards, just never go to the Chapter board

Hey Clint, Yea I think it is everywhere. I just refuse to chase anyone around. If you don't post in the chapter section then why be a member. So Arizona Chapter will either go on, or die. It is out of my control. It clear to me that chasing them didn't do a great deal. I have no power over anything. If I run into someone on a board I'll certainly invite them but other than that I'm just a hick in the sticks.

I finally did something I never do. I bought a set of stock Dodge wheels to go on my Dodge truck. I always thought the steel chrome wheels on the 94-99 Dodge 4x4 2500 looked cheap. After checking around in 2000 the changed the wheels from 6.5" width to 8" aluminum wheels. Then I read the 8" 16" wheels on the 94-99 may have clearance issues etc. So I found a place in Oklahoma that offers a factory 6.5 steel wheel that is power coated black they look much better than the chrome I think. The were $60 ea + $20 shipping. So for $400 I got 5 wheels delivered.
They are suppose to be here on Friday. So I'm taking our Dodge to Pahrump to get our Crown Vic on Saturday & I will have Big O in Pahrump mount the wheels & I need a coupe of new tires on the Crown Vic so I will have them do that. So I'll post a picture after they are on.
I know the owner of Big O in Pahrump & they have always treated me right. Here in Bullhead I use to have good luck with Ron's Tire in Fort Mohave but the Service Manager I had an in with is no longer there. Superior Tire has pissed me off a few too many times. Big O here is awful. So I'll just give my money to a place that appreciates my money & treats me right to show me they appreciate it.

What the big deal is to me is I never spend money on wheels. But I wanted the stock off-set & back spacing. Because of the excessive stress put on front bearing with non stock wheels. You can see how much these stick out I think. I want to keep the narrower tires so the 6.5" will work great & if I want to go up to 265x75x16 I can. 8" would of spread the tire on the truck too much. They are Toyo 10 ply with a lot of life left.
