I think we might have to go out for a ride around town in your truck though, Jim. Seeing as how it's got a DP and all... plus I know where a Chebby moron hangs out and where some Cummins guys always are.
You got it bud!! We'll just have to chew up a chebby!!!

Good deal. I actually chat with folks regularly all over the globe in radio forums, and in some cases like yourself, here. It's hard to remember that other countries have different rules, and all that sometimes. The internet has REALLY shrunk the planet.

So how do you like it? I'm planning on replacing my water heater with one of those tankless jobs when it's time.

LOL, that reminds me I need to make mine a secure connection sometime soon. That means I would need to figure out how to do that though. haha.

Have you tried a directional antenna? A buddy of mine built one that worked very well. I use a patch antenna (square flat one) here and it works well through several walls and down one story...

Sweet! Almost as sweet at stolen internet!

It's a white DRW Chebby. I dunno if its a gasser or a D-max, but it's too bad you're getting/already have stacks because the kid really needs a good soot job on his truck. Especially since it's a white truck.

That was my plan today but that got changed for me.... Chase got wet while he was going his community service this afternoon so Troy had to go get him instead of working on the truck with me.

What kind of router do you have? I actually leave mine unsecured, but I have MAC filtering turned on. Basically, you can't connect unless I add your wireless serial number (MAC) to the list of allowed devices. Super easy to do -- I have a Linksys.

Where would I get one? I have no router here and the neighbors house is at least 250-300' away.
