That is nice John. I have looked at those. They look cool if you get the Kashima coating. You pay more for them than 1UP but they have built in lighting and a built in cable lock. However, you could cut that cable with a small pair of cutters. They did just copy 1UP’s design. Kirk

Hello justjames and welcome! We use the Proven Locks also. I followed a recommendation by AlbertNTerri and ordered the Ft. Knox puck upgrade. It is an impressive lock. Much heavier and more solid than the puck lock that came with the Proven Locks. In addition, the key is many times more complex. While not cheap, it seems like a worthy purchase, if you opt for the Proven Locks. https://ftknoxlocks.com/shop/ols/products/abloy-sentry-cylinder-in-ft-knox-steel-puck-lock-body Good luck, Kirk

Tow Vehicle, 6'4" vs 8' box, Crew vs Mega, DA vs SA

The Firestones we have will put your headlights right where you want them. It’s very easy and fast to adjust them to proper level or beyond if wanted to. -

Our headlights were tilted up enough to cause problems for us and oncoming traffic. We added Firestone airbags with an air compressor and Bluetooth control via the Firestone app. It has been convenient and effective. Highly recommended so far. Kirk -

Our 2018 Ram has this transmission. We love it! We bought it new. We have the crew cab with an eight foot bed, single axel, and an aftermarket 42 gallon fuel tank. It is a pleasure to tow with. Going off-road, we definitely enjoy the torque the truck can provide. No regrets on the truck in any way. We have owned a dual rear axle truck (Ford F350 6.7 L) and I would never want one for the E2, mainly because of lost maneuverability. If a had to buy another truck today, I would make the same choice. Kirk -
Thanks for the review RichM! I enjoyed reading it. Sounds like your delivery and your trip home went well. Congratulations! Carrie and leave on our first longer camping trip this week, traveling to Arizona for a couple of weeks. Then, in first two weeks of May, a couple of weeks in northern California along the coast and a bit in the wine country. Enjoying the journey! Kirk

California's Super Duper Bloom
snakeriveridaho replied to Ollie Ollie in Free's topic in Campgrounds & Parks
Carrie and I are planning a California trip the first half of May. Thanks for the post. Hopefully we will get a chance to experience the upcoming bloom. We have caught one in Arizona several years ago. Thank, Kirk -
If you are paying cash, Oliver ask for 50% down. If you are financing, they ask for 15%. This is because there is no VIN at 90 days prior to production, so the financing cannot be completed until later. Kirk

They might be some of the demo models also, although the hull numbers don't go with that. Kirk

Wow Roger! Impressive photos. Glad your Oliver is okay and ready for camping! Kirk
