    For that kind of money, you could get a whole bunch of CO2 tanks. Have you thought about just buying a second tank?

    I'm not real impressed with the CO2 way of life. It's bulky. It's a pain to drag around. It's tough to tell how much you have left. Up here, it's expensive to fill. It works, but there are many better solutions. I don't have plans to do anything right away, I was just rolling around some ideas.

    somebody once told me, GO BIG OR GO HOME. of course i go home but you seem much cooler than me so you should just quit complaining about your set up and get a new one. 😲

    For the kind of money you are talking about, you could get one of these and keep your winch... http://www.kilbyenterprises.com/trailhead.htm

    I like my york, but with gas at 4.50 a gallon I think a tire fillup costs a couple of bucks.

    Those are the kind of prices that I was hoping to avoid.



    a winch like that could double the value of your rig 😉

    I'm not sure there's much left to buy back. The guy is parting it out.

    I know...he said he wanted something bigger so he bought a bigger/newer Cruiser that he is planning to use some of the parts on. I'm not sure what parts he's selling or using at this point.
