I did the same thing when deciding to buy the Gobi stealth instead of the full size rack. Stealth uses the small, rectangular PIAA 1500s. They work but you sure as heck won't confuse night for day.

No prob Rod. Don't worry about it if it's too much trouble.

HB - The issue that has Mojave Rd part two has the H3 review. Did you ever see/read it? If not I'll bring it for you. 4 wheeler gave it rave reviews.

That's because we're basking in the glow of a post-frenzy O. It's perfectly natural. As launch day gets closer the dry humping of keyboards will resume.

I tried to buy metal Jerry cans yesterday. Seems you can't even buy those here anymore either. I think I'll try putting something on the H2 classifieds here for the sceptor cans. Maybe someone has some they aren't using and want to sell.

Nope, not too much trouble. These okay? Or do want something different? How many?

Since the traditional is not included in that question, I'll assume it's serious. I'm happy to order some for you and bring them on the 11th. You can carry your owned danged cans, though, bucko.

Sunset and Pecos? They have the can holder (the metal ones with the strap) we were looking at a few days ago?

Edspad 02-01-2006 11:28 PM

There were none there when i made my purchase last sunday, all i seen was the Blitz can itself?

I ended buying the CON-FERR BLITZ JERRY CAN CARRIER and CON-FERR BLITZ JERRY CAN CARRIER ADAPTOR fromOffRoadRecovery.com

I like the style of your jerry better though

</div></BLOCKQUOTE>Looks vaguely familiar. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yeah, I really like that one, but it wasn't quite what I wanted and the price was so high you'd think it was made by Gobi! I wanted a slightly more square and angled look - and a little more "beef." When some friends who do metal work for the studios offered to custom build one, I couldn't pass it up!

Your rig looks outstanding! But why is it the wrong color???

Sean

Racer-X 02-02-2006 01:53 AM

PM coming.

As for the gas cans - I think I would prfer the sceptors, especially with time being so short I don't want to try and fab holders or lay rubber on the rack before we go. I still hope to finish the permanent install on my CB before our trip.

I had an idea - if you feel comfortable with it you could give me your address in PM, I could order, pay for and have them shipped to you, That way less hassle for you. I found a good price on them ($30 ea) at a place right here near me. The owner sounded frustrated that he couldn't sell them to me.

Either method is fine with me. I could order or I could give you his website and phone number. I think at this point it would be better to order via phone to be sure any color I order is in stock and ready to ship.

Bondage 02-02-2006 01:57 AM

Gotta run too, but I'm going to be posting some important info regarding the run in about an hour and a half or so! Stay tuned.....!

ps - nothing exciting - rules and regs from the NPS, etc.

Sorry! Got side-tracked....okay, here's what I have:

The permit has been approved - for "UP TO TWELVE vehicles"!!!! But not to worry - I talked with the NPS and have it amended and approved for 15. But we lucked out with our arbitrary cap! Anything over 15 requires "extending the environmental review." What's that mean? More money and much more time. So all is well - we are permitted with permission for up to 15 vehicles. Whew! Not that it really much matters - I've spent days out there and have NEVER seen a Ranger.

Also, there are two pages of crap, er information and rules, etc., which every participant is supposed to be made aware of and agree to. No way I'm typing two pages of this stuff on here. I'm gonna try posting it as an attached jpeg and see if y'all can read it.

If you take nothing else from this info, know this: DER TORTOISES ARE STRICTLY VERBOTEN!!! Don't touch 'em. Don't play with 'em. Don't run 'em over. Try not to look at them and for God's sake, don't eat 'em, k? Now the Mohave indians had a cool way of placing the tortoise upside down in the campfire and making turtle soup right in the shell. Don't do that.

God am I proud to be American and embarrased by my government all at the same time.

My personal favorite is #18. Fires may be built only in areas where fires have previously been built. But no evidence of a campfire may remain. SO HOW DO YOU KNOW WHERE A CAMPFIRE WAS PREVIOUSLY BUILT??

Basically, any and all good campsites along the road have some evidence of pre-existing fire rings - so it's not a problem - I just find the juxtaposition of the ideas funny. And besides, once one has a campfire roaring away, how would they establish that there had not been one there previously???

Also, you should know that this is for the portion (a large portion) of the ride that takes place under the purview of the NPS. Rasor OHV is NOT such a portion and is a "free play" area. Yipee!

They waived all fees except the $50 flat application fee since we are not a political group or protest group, or for profit group, etc. I suppose if they find out we are really communist subversives they could come back and charge us money to monitor our suspicious activities.....

Hah, thanks Sean...Tomorrow night we'll get it all finished up and good to go. I ask my father about your switch, he said it should be just fine, but on the remote chance after a few hours it quits its just a 10 second fuse...
