    I have always wondered why the limit straps are slamming down on the springs for the mounts. That is not how they are designed to work. The spring is supposed to go under the mount to keep it from rattling

    Google maps sucks ass at showing boundaries. You will have go to google earth and play with the settings on the left hand side and enable boundaries and play around with them ..still lame.

    fml I think it goes through the training area. I see a bagdad road, and we go right by an airfield that looks military. Do you think they'd notice us? :D

    I'll give them a call and give them a list of the trails that I plotted and see if it's ok.

    An actual 2meter/race radio will be ideal for comms. Not having proper comms on a run like this is always an issue.
