    Nah, Chevy's are cool. You might get in s### if that sign said "Dodge Ave" though!

    Just wait until your obsession gets high end. I have bikes that cost me upwards of $14k. I crashed in vernal and had to get airlifted out one year. Cracked my helmet and totaled a bike. I broke the carbon frame in more than a few spots. Which is apparently hard to do according to the manufacturer. So that was a 6 figure screw up on my part. I was still in my 20s then. That's when disk brakes were first coming on the scene in earnest. I got too overconfident in them and smoked them about 3/4 the way down the hill. I had a record breaking time, right up until I lost the brakes all together and smacked a tree. Kinda went downhill from there pretty quickly. It's all part of the fun.

    I just weight the ends....worked good so far. They also make rubber mounting hardware. Never trusted that enough to try it though.

    Dang, I don't envy you one bit right now. :angry7:
    We have a ton of rock here too, but it has all been taken care of over the years....for the most part. You need to make a hitch for that thing so you can pull 2 or 3 behind everything you own. .....at all times. Just hook it up behind your tillage equipment....2 birds with one stone....lol.
    Seriously though.....you are a better man than I! It makes me think about what the old timers had to endure to clear this land. Alot of kids all by hand I imagine.

    I'll hopefully get a video cut together in the next week or 2. Need some more footage than just helmet cam lol. Next weekend is KW time. Fab shop was working on my firewall Friday so I'll be putting that in next weekend.

    You should route them inside the tube.
