    Making a late night lake flight. Have to figure out why the chopper pump isn't working in the morning and bring the wheeler home.

    Probably pull the camper home next week. Get it cleaned up and take it to get some work done.

    Try hanging your binder on the chain and put each chain on separate hooks on the rack.
    Be sure to hook both hooks of ratchet binder to the chain so that a free hook will not vibrate out and ruin your day when loading.
    You will find staggering the binders up and down will make your headache rack "skinnier"
    Hang your larger chains closest to to the uprights.

    Those are more fun to drive than a boat, and easier to park. We have a 2012 Kia Rio5, gets amazing fuel economy. 40-43 USmpg on the highway most times. We are looking to upgrade in the near future though, because we want to start a family in the next few years.

    I don't judge people based on what they drive, unless it's a 12-inch lifted diesel pickup with an 8-inch single pipe coming through the bed, halfway up the back window covering it in black soot. Then I just laugh and laugh and laugh.

    Exactly. Needs to be dual polished 8" straights. Mitre cut of course.

    I've seen a couple 80's RAM's with chrome dual exhaust, and it looks really good.

    Then there's this, my dream pickup:

    The town we live in is home to a performance motor sports school that draws kids from all over the country. Every year we get inundated with a new batch of lifted diesel pick ups trying to impress everyone. The only thing they impress on anyone is their jerkiness.

    My pickup is a 100% stock Ram 1500 5.7L. Does just fine for anything I need it for.

    Being able to do 70mph and pass the Fedex pricks with impunity almost makes this Prostar bearable.


    That’s my joke for today. :p

    14 chains
    2 snaps
    12 ratchets

    Kinda regretting all the ratchets when I’m not too familiar with them compared to snaps... but it’s what they had I guess
