I take out the seats AND take a tent. I like the outdoors element, but I am sometimes lazy. As for DV, is the north entrance from 168 open? Not much damage can be from flooding until you reach the floor at Crankshaft Crossing. Then just take a left to keep to the high ground.
You can check out the gallery for the lights. Current setup works great, except I need more on top (roof rack?) Originally I was thinking of this for the Warn to keep the stock look and the lights: http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-s...iddenkit.shtml
Then I changed my mind to this: http://www.roadarmor.com/ra3/ford_trucks.html
Now I might even think about this: http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-s...y_bumper.shtml

The best pictures my wife realized never were saved in the camera. We have a bit to learn about digital pictures...learning.

Nice pics! We got into the same and worse, but also didn't get pictures. It is pretty tiresome to stop and take a lot, and we are always scouting with time against us...
Last Saturday, more hunting and four-wheeling. Notice the articulation. What you can't see is that I stopped just short of a giant hole that woulda rolled me, couldn't back so had to blast around it. Took the picture since I got out to assess the situation anyway. Interestingly the seatbelts WOULD NOT extend to be re-buckled from this angle, and we were in very real danger of rolling. Kinda sucky.

Great pics of your ex's, I do the same with mine but it seems the front end can't take the abuse my 3/4 ton suburban could. just put it in the shop today, its getting new wheel bearings,seals, ball joints, new front hubs, front drive shaft sway bar end links and bushings, the list goes on and on. I dont think its the way i drive off roads (slow and steady wins the race in my book). Thank god for the extended warranty

Berryessa-Knoxville it was. I figured it would be empty on T-Day and I was right. Only saw two people the entire day. They were on 2-wheelers.
As for the lift, most of the stuff is listed in my gallery. I first had it installed by 4 Wheel Parts. Didn't like it. Switched out some parts myself and had other shops do some mods. And I still want to make more changes. Fine tuning I guess you can call it. If only I could stay home all day tweaking things. I haven't figured out how to get out of this work thing and still have them deposit money in our accounts

CRJ-
I just checked out your gallery, wow! Nice ride. I have yet to decide on a lift, and am looking for a push/brush guard for 2005. I've already scratched the crap outa the front and sides, etc. I need to get up to speed like your rig :-)
Very nice.
As to pictures, I put in the HTML code: IMG SRC="URL.jpg" To make it be read as HTML you need to put a < before it and a > after it, no spaces, with the quotes. You also need to have a picture loaded to a URL first. As you have most likely seen I maintain several websites so I have places to put pictures, but moment of fame and others let you do it free.

Thank you for the complement. I did check out your website. You look very busy. An incredible amount of activities. It helps to have a good family though, doesn't it?
I have no use for a personal website at the moment, so I guess I'll stick to posting from FTE

Quietman,
I just got finished browsing your webpages, including the incredible soaring logs complete with pictures. When I was 15 I remember reading an article in the LA times about a guy that took off from Elsinor and flew to Catalina.
Very impressive!

Thanks D-X!
I have flown out over the pacific several times, and landed twice in Aliso Viejo- see the pic with the houses on the slope behind me. I have some other pictures of the 4 sheriff cars that showed up once as well...
The Catalina flight has been done twice that I know of, and is a pretty gutsy one, allthough both times they arrived at the Island with 10k to spare. $200 tow back....
It's all good, and one of the reasons I bought the X is to tow my plane out of fields...
