So I guess I should throw my old HX35 on the truck for this trip as well....just in case.
The signal coming from the so called WTS pin in the harness is +12.... I have an idea to make it work.... Will get to it middle of the week...

yep ur HX standby would be appreciated!

B/W says it is OK to drill through the hitch bracket, just do not weld to it. They also say the hitch must be installed first (I'm good to go there). I have the wheel well liners, don't mind cutting them.

We'll have the trailer - fortunately there's still enough clutch to haul it loaded. It's only 82" inside, Rob - but that's enough to load a truck with OEM backspacing.

WooHoo!
Robert - I want you to try to rip the Lazar Lunette in half!

If something comes up and I can't make it, I will get it to Mike to bring down.

I am really hoping to be there. I know I missed out on a good time last year. I will also have my Firestone airbags by then. If I haven't installed them by then, I might do it down there, with Mike's help
~Rob
Does anyone want a barely used '05 OEM muffler & 4" exhaust to rear bumper? I offered it to Wayne, but don't know if he's able/ready for it... cleaning out the shop.
Got a barely used '98 OEM muffler too.

The instructions say to cut them, but I have a thick piece of foam rubber between the bag and the liner to keep it from rubbing.
We're gonna try to design a bolt-on bracket adapter so this accessory combo can be used on 2nd Gens.

That would work for mine... with 35's on stock wheels. I figure 82" needed to allow an inch or so on each side. But probably too narrow for Brians (and yours now) with after market wheels that stick out more??

IF not a hassle to bring it....would be great piece of mind, just in case.
If your willing to bring it with you, let me know what your drinking.... I'm buying!

I'll bring my stock tires/wheels and floor jack, too... in case needed by anyone! Also for Burn Out contest.... if they have one.
