Oh, yeah, Marine--it's good to see you over here. I've been folllowing your posts for about a year now on the other site. It's good to have someone around with common sense and the realization that DOING it is more rewarding than BUYING it. Hmmm, that didn't come out quite right... You know what I mean.
By the way, thanks for spending your youth in the Marines, for our protection. Most of us don't realize how lucky we are as a country to have folks like you. Who knows where we would be without the strength of our Armed Services.

Yea I know what you mean and thanks, There where already some good guys here and I am always looking to learn, the other place well it is the other place.
As far as the Marine Corps, man that was my pleasure, I would do it again, but thanks. The guys (and girls) in the military excpecially those with rounds incoming have it tough. But they know why they are there and what they have to do.
If you get a chance Friday night the 4th come out we are going to have a BBQ for those that can make it. Bajaherbie is doing his juggling act but I think he is leaving the donkey that is usually in the act back home.

Guys I am stoked started packing already, hooked the trailer up, got the barbacue in the trailer for Friday night, A/C for everyday, just hope the rail hangs in there, everytime it burps or I hear something I am digging into it, either way going to have a good time, if it breaks down hopefully somebody will let me ride with them, (wanted to say something else but keeping it clean) working on it.
So if you see this with frankenstien parked near by stop in for a beer or glass of Ice tea.

Would like to do that but fuel is killing me as it is. As I have told the Viking one of these days I am going to make it up there. But in the mean time come on down and show us how you guys do sand. Herbie says he will be also ( pulling my leg I'm sure) but I will probably be spending my time with a E-tool in my hand.

Yeah....I thought you were going to drive your rail there with an old canvas tent bungee corded to the roll bar. Haven't you heard? Anytime your car is pulled on a trailer, you're a sissy rich boy with a trailer queen.
I actually have a suspicion that this just might come from guys who don't have trailers with pull rigs...but I could be wrong.
Nice set up.

C54fun, otis or any others been to L/S do they require spark arrestors on the exhaust? Have them just not on at the moment.

Well with my rail around at least we will have an anchor
Took off the muffler and found a internal baffle, ended up cutting that out, I tell ya sawzalls are the answer to everything, well almost. Well back to my story, left the muffler out. CHEEEEESSSSEEE AND RRRRRRRRIIIICCCEEEE that thing was loud, forgot how loud it was. So will be putting the muffler back on, maybe
Thanks c54fun for the info, I will probably bring it just in case.
