Hey all,
Yes, as usual it's been a while. Work, work and more work, and family mixed in.
I found a used Lowrance GPS on ebay that was in my price range, and I gotta say it's not bad at all. It's a 3600c, and when I get more time I'll be upgrading the firmware to get more detailed maps on it. Interestingly enough, I've found a way to get map data with openstreetmaps.com downloaded, and converted to the Lowrance file format. Just need to make sure to use a SD card that's smaller than 1G apparently.
I'm also getting closer to mounting the Surco rack I've had in my possession for years. I need to pull the headliner to see where the strong points are, and of course so I don't drill through it. The biggest question here will be, what do I seal the feet with on the roof?
The most recent addition is making my wife and daughter very happy, and we'll get to try it out this weekend. It's a 1986 Starcraft StarLite 17; we picked it up pretty cheap. Lifted it about 6 inches, and will probably find some bigger tires for it later on when I get some spare cash again. This has caused me to re-think my gearing (along with the awesome trans job my buddy did for me), so I've ordered 4.56 gears for the rear and will do the front later on.
Lets see if I can add some pictures here...
