    Are you bring this with you to the meet next weekend? Probably would save your @$$ (literally) when driving down I-95/64 through Hurricane Earl.

    Nah.

    95 between Richmond & F'burg is so rough, that I'd probably dig an edge & endo down the Hwy.

    Last time we made that trip in the RV, it bounced so bad that the microwave oven jumped out of it's retainers.

    Hmmm, you just gave me a new idea for a new bumper....

    Yeah, that's the ticket!.....make a matching one for the front, & the extra wide rock sliders, then it'll be like a hoop exo and you can roll on yer side and not even mess up your OFH or yer sheetmetal....so when we push you, er, um, I mean if you fall off a trail in Moab next year you'll just roll over and over ....just make sure Mr. Scary Hook is behind you so he can hook your exo and save yer butt.
    ok, ok, let me take care of this for you....

    ROFL. Y'all are killin me here.

    Rick - I'm not the fab-meister on the bumper. Welder Guy did that one for me. I shutter to think what it would've looked like if I'd tried welding 2 seven foot tubes together. The only mod I did after he fabricated it was to cut off about 4" of square tube & relocate the receiver pin hole so that it fits closer to the back of the RV.

    KAT - can I borrow your pirate kitty flag at Moab so Mr. Scary Hook can find me after I roll down the hill?
