Re: Front Locker $299 (2nd gen X)

Were you able to get the deal, despite it being a 1st gen and despite the date?

I'd like to myself, but the cash isn't there right now.

(I've never done anything with a differential, so I'm of no help. I wouldn't mind being there though, to learn something.)

Re: 2014 Winter Camping Trip

JAS - cool pic! Thanks for the advice.

CruiserRomey - I forgot to respond earlier - we did have the sleeping level raised from the door.

Lots still to learn, but it'll be fun.

Re: 2014 Winter Camping Trip

That's definitely a great way to try things out and to make sure that Junior has blast too. When things are going well, it's great fun to experience a trip like this both from your own perspective and through a kid's eyes. In my avatar I'm jumping into a pile of snow that later became a quinzhee. 20...

Re: 2014 Winter Camping Trip

It looks like it was a great trip. I just got back from a little one night trip - my first time in winter - learned lots.

Re: Front Locker $299 (2nd gen X)

NixX posted the following today (Dec. 2, 2013) I tried to get out into the snow this weekend but it didn't work out the way I'd have liked. It stayed warm until today so I had to climb a FS road from the pass to find some rained on snow. Long story short, I still liked the way it behaved, no problem...

Re: Front Locker $299 (2nd gen X)

Well, understandably none of us is confident that the X and the Lokka will play nicely togehter in the winter. We wish they would, but ther is no proof - no video evidence, no reports of it ever being tried in the snow. On thenewX.org a member named NixX (of Fall City, Washington) has had one instal...

I'm just posting this to get the word out there in case someone is interested. There's a 2 week window. Shipping from Australia is included. Here's the link http://www.thenewx...

I work in Newmarket and a buddy of mine lives in Bradford.

Let me know if you're planning to be in Newmarket or Uxbridge (or there abouts) and we'll try to get together (at a Tim's of course :)

Very nice :lol:

I don't know your mom or aunt, but I suspect they'll be on to you at "verbal diarrhea".

Is that as far as you wanted to string them along before they're reaching for the rolling pin, hand bag, etc. ?
