I'm back until Mid June, then I travel again. Concerning the run, let me know when and where.

Any volunteers to organize this run? (Freak.... Wagon_R....??)

Wagon_R when you coming home?

323_Wagon_Dude... thanks for reminding us that our 4x4s aren't as stable as a car.

Now I think the fellas on this thread have more sense than the average Joe. Not because you high up, you're safer... actually you're less safe. It's nice to hear the turbo spooling but it's rainy season and I don't want to hear about no accidents whether you right or you're wrong. It just takes a split second. Safe vehicles are nice but it's really up to the driver to be safe.

If it's road rage you have, I'm sure Wagon_R and Freak can find some trails/offroads for you to take out your aggression.

I have a very graphic presentation on driving safety, if you guys like I can send it to you.

I wonder if we could get a discount if a few us buy the multilock alarm as a group... Something worth considering...

Fellas glad to hear security is on our minds. But we must understand that all these devices does not stop theft, it just slows them down.

Multilock can be scrapped
Alarms and Kill Switches can be bypassed even if it's a pager alarm.
Clubs ... the steering wheel can be cut.
They'll eventually get around the gps and shutdown devices. Nothing really stops them...

323_Wagon Good idea....talk to the vendors and see if they'll offer a multilock alarm group discount

I'm considering car search since I like the idea of search and retrieve.
