Thanks.

I'm still working on a way to put that video together with a true feeling of the horns going off.

Some people have been asking how I mounted the cases on my rack. Here's a shot of how I have secured them. There is one clamp at each of the four corners of each box. Then I got my hands on some very high quality padlocks to secure the boxes with. On the inside of the box I used fender washers with an O-Ring under each washer to maintain the water-tight seal.

Ha ha, will be tuff to break into that thing

I have been hearing some noises in, what I thought was, my suspension over the last month or so. I was all set to go the TDS Safari with my family last Saturday but the sound turned into something more severe and I cancelled the trip. Turns out that my rear driveshaft forward U-Joint is shelled out. Thankfully I cancelled the trip and I didn't have it break on me with my wife along. I thought it was going to be a rear diff. I took it to M.I.T. in El Cajon and they found it. While they're dropping the driveshaft I'm having drop both the forward and the rear driveshaft and change all 4 U-Joints along with balancing them both. Hopefully I'll pick it up tomorrow and all will be well. It sucks being without my rig for even one day.

That sucks man, but like you said, good thing you caught it before the trip.

Here's a link to the video I got of my air horns in the snow. We were trying to shake the snow off the trees. It didn't work though. Turn up the volume on your computer.

Nice! So I took a little tour of your FB page. Some really nice shots, I don't know if I'd have the balls to do that picture of you and your rig on the edge of that cliff. But more importantly than anything...Twilight... really?

FJ-OLLIE

That cliff is "Top of the World" in Moab, UT. It was one of my most memorable trips. On our way back from the FJ Summit each year we do a couple of days in Moab. Makes for a great week.

Yes... TWILIGHT.
