yes i do have paperwork, i'll bring it on the trip and you can read it. Pretty interesting in fact. Ive also spoken on the phone about it too, i was told that chevron, although usually pretty good fuel, sometimes does have poor fuel (often depending on time of year, location, etc).

I thought i'd chime in on the gas topic. I only use cheap gas stations and always use 87. Never, ever had a problem with it. My combined mileage with 36's is 13mi/gal.

mSal: ya, please bring it. That would be interesting to check out.

Big: Would be interesting to see what your mileage would be with some "better" station and supreme.

Anyone: Alright, been checkin on some of these rules for Frank, and it says (among many) NO NIGHT WHEELING ??? WTF ? Anyone know how well they enforce this ?

flashlights, laterns (if ya have em), (buns are over rated !!! don't worry, goin to the Costco today to grab plenty !), TP, PALLATS, guns, ammo, rags/towels to wipe off any mud/grime/grease/dirt. I'll bring those hand cleaners again. Bring your own music, we will have cd players this time, so bring your own and we will probably listen to it (no rap or that "hip hop" stuff please).

Thats all i can think of now, i'm sure more will pop into my head

Alright, got busy on the roll bar. A buddy over at the Cat House (no, not that, Cat as in Catalytic converters )

Anyway, here it is:








I intentionally made the hoop that much taller, since I dont have a full cage, figured I would give myself as much extra protection as I can, once we start on the front, it will be taking down a bit and made shorter.

you going to tie it into the front a little more or just leave it like that? it looks like if you went under an underpass youd rip it right off j/p thats nice work and should more than protect you for this trip
