yeah... just get smething like that and a window camera mount... that'd be pretty sick. I'd really like it if I had a sunroof lol... I could mount the camera mount to the top of my truck and get a much better video angle... but instead I have to mount it to my back windows.

Just in case anyone is wondering i used 3 cameras for this whole trip my in car camera is a sony handycam DCR-HC40 really old and beat up, for the still shots i used a nikon D80 with a 18-200mm lens and all of those videos were shot with a sony W230 which is just a point and shoot

thanks for the info. I view it as public land and it should not be closed unless dangerous to the public. If a am able to head out there soon I may just find my self breaking another law and protecting my freedoms.

damn, rattlesnake bar is closed?! that blows. dang, i was planning on heading back out there once my engine gets put back together real soon (I chewed up the timing chain guide after hitting about 5k rpms while doing donuts in the mud about a month ago). from their website, it sounds like too many people are hitting the mud due to low water level. if you guys plan anything, maybe i'll think about taking the cruiser out. heated seats are really nice when there's snow on the ground

actually, it provides alot more air flow than you'd think... with the High flow cat being better flow, it still causes restrictions, but not as much as a stock cat. make sense? if you dump that exhaust out the side or before the rear axe, its gonna be insanely loud... haha

ouch dude, how much did that cost? haha. I never do more than 3k when I do donuts... :o well whenever I get my phone back, I'll get all you local guys' phone numbers and we can all keep in touch. me and 93yotasr5 hit up pick N pull once and awhile. It would be a kick ass time if we could get 6-7 of us to go all wheeling together up at forest hill, rattlesnake or even kyburz. hah
