Welcome to the new reality...where criminals do as they please with impunity.
My full-sized Silverado rig that I spent two years building was stolen yesterday...between insurance, police, OnStar, and others...just a frustrating experience of mostly (not all) people that don't care very much...

If you can post a pic of your best ideas it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi folks,
I already posted in new members, but wanted to introduce myself here.
I've been doing a lot of solo trips but would be interested in meeting like-minded OB members for trips - I roam pretty far, so with enough notice, I can be anywhere.
If you're in my area, give me a shout and we...
