    On the edge or back of the smoke tarp I use a strap and I have eye holes on the edges with rope on it on.

    To be fair I was surprised at how well lone mountain compared to the dealer. Taking into acct that LM has to be able to make $ I expected them to have a huge markup. But the difference is about the cost of an APU and the ability to customize a bit (longer WB for flat, in-cab air dump for trailer, OD lights and the like)

    I have but gliders don't make a lot of sense to me. Rebuilt motor, minimal warranty and the like. To do what? Save 20k if your lucky? To me new is better.

    I'm betting in another year or two, we are all gonna be California compliant. from what I'm reading, Europe is moving away from that def crap. Won't be long before we follow suit.
