    No BLM land around here. Don't worry, lots of gun ranges all over. Some are better than others depending what you want to shoot. There are places to wheel but it's different than having thousands of acres at your disposal.

    Even the open-carry is restricted to CHL holders only.

    It doesn't mean you can't just find a trail and bomb it anyways, I've never had to pay to go wheeling here. Heck there's a big ass green belt behind our neighborhood

    Edit: and on the shooting part as long as you're out of city limits

    Thinking about getting a sunroof put in, just in info gathering mode right now. Anybody know if good installers in Houston or DFW? Looking at Webasto or Inalfa models.

    You should have bought the soft shackle from Trail Toys aka @SMKYTXN
    It would have been a little cheaper, supporting a TW member owned company, and Nathan is a cool guy.

    I still like them. SEMA product of the year or something like that. I thought I might need to try them out around DFW lately.

    I'll be curious to know final cost and quality of the work when it's all said and done.

    I've heard people say that we should be able to open carry under the constitution. I personally like that you have to receive some additional "training" to carry in public...regardless of whether it is open or concealed. There are plenty of law abiding idiots out there.

    Agreed. My wife and I think that owning/carrying a gun should be no different that owning/driving a car. You have to prove you understand the laws and able to handle the car in order to get a license, and they take that right away from you if you prove unable to keep between the lines. Idiots in cars kill far more people than guns.

    The bubba rope soft shackles work just fine, my only beef with them is that they advertise their capacity with their breaking strength. Any and all recovery gear should be listed with their safe working load limit, not their breaking strength. My soft shackles have a working load limit of up to 16,000lbs, depending on the configuration. But they have a safety factor of five built in, meaning the breaking strength is 80,000lbs.
