Both front bars are the same. Took about 3 mins to put them on. Plenty of clearance for alternator and power steering on both cars. I'll take some pics and post them Wednesday, my camera is at the store. I've heard lots of people saying the same thing about just about any generic eBay bar.

Hah! Just found this Cusco for sell on here but... it's an adjustable one while mine aren't which is my preference. He's asking 95 bucks which is.... too much!!! Corksport makes one that's as good or better for less if you want this style.

Nice ground shot...

OK Johny, what's the deal? Why so down on yourself? Why does your life suck right now? And good to hear your Dad is well. So he's back in his right state of mind?

Love the pics Nic. So does the bumper fit well? And you're right, it doesn't matter the least bit if they're of age, haha.

And it looks like Chris is the next Girls Gone Wild guy, haha. Just PLEASE don't play the annoying Caribbean music on the commercial.

^The bumper fits pretty good...makes it easier on the body shop and on my pocket. The less they have to mess with it the less it costs me!

http://www.greatcarolinaproperty.com...campground.htm


The camp ground is called cable cove. Its right near Deals Gap and there are direction so nthis page from Fontana village so its not hard to find either. there are 26 camp sites and we are going to be there early in the season so it shouldnt be too crowded. My only concern is that the Thru-hikers on the App Trail usually start mid april to early may in georgia, so there may be some hikers coming through there. Shouldnt be too much of an issue though. I think Cable Cove is pretty far off the App trail to get much use.

Its $10 a day. No showers. No flush toilets. Just a camp ground and easy access to the road for next to nothing.

Ill be there.

Whoa, no showers? You guys do realize this is for about 5 days right? lol

Wait, when is DGRR again? I need to put in for leave, or at least reserve it.

haha not 5 days, only four. shower that morning that actually only makes 3 days without showering. hahahahahaha. we can just bathe when we wash the cars. Or maybe one of us can exchange a 'favor' for shower rights.

Is that $10 a person or for the whole site?

thats $10 per site per night. Most campgrounds are a two or three tent per site rule. However I dont think we can get three cars to a site, so figure two cars per site, 1 tent per car. There is no stated maximum tents per site on the web page, but there maybe at the site.

If you bring baby wipes with you, or one of us brings a box, you can give yourself a pretty through dry cleaning. If you need a shower im sure you could find one, but I have spent 10 days at wilderness sites without a shower before. Just have to have the ***** to jump into a 50* lake.
