    You are supposed to have one, and I believe they specify size. We weren't aware of the ruling at the time. Even though I now carry a 5lbs unit in the back at all times, I haven't had anybody check me. I also haven't ran into anyone during fire season, either.

    thanks mike. guess ill go pick one up from home depot or something. they dont look very expensive. am i fine just like putting it on the floor in the back seat or something? im worried if its bouncing around too much something might happen. id only bring it out with me in the car when i go on little trips like this. i dont really want to have to get a bracket or something to hold it down.

    Its a pile haha. Either the battery or the starter solenoid is dead. It clicks when I hit the stater button, but doesn't turn over at all. To start it I have to hook the positive battery jumper straight to the starter. It doesn't run to great. Feels starved for fuel, so I'm going to break the carb apart and clean it and see what happens. I'll get it running decently and then see how much I can turn it around for on craigslist.

    Do those stripper work as well as the infomercials on tv? As an electrician for a living, I've thought about getting some like that

    I haven't used them yet, so I can't say. I sure hope they do though! I hate using the standard napa cripper/strippers. Figured this was my chance to upgrade.

    Get yourself a good one with a metal handle and everything. Nothing worse than those plastic handled ones that can break right when you need it most. TSF only requires a 2.5 pounder, but I don't think that's going to put out much. Finally, make sure its an ABC chem
    you can, but consider that in an accident it can fly around. I'm not above reproach on this, I've got plenty of unsecured stuff at times.

    I have a set of them, and they work alright... but don't fit in tight spaces and are sometimes the 'gripper' slips if the insulation is tough. Still better than the cheapo strippers.

    Are floor mats a mod?
    Is that a ported shotgun in the background?

    Her name is Cinnamon and she has moves like a beached whale.


    On a better note, I just finished my newest mod. Tow mirrors are now installed. Wife came out to look and said, "Damn those things are like beacons". I told her that was mirrors in, then she had a dumbfounded look on her face. That's when I flipped the mirrors out.

    Got them here. I'll have a better idea of them later this afternoon when I get a load of hay. Should work considerably better with my 8 ft wide trailer.
