I've got a Clifford 50.7x, which I believe is the same model as the Viper 5901 (both have the same parent company). I can remote start (supposedly from up to a mile away), roll up my back window, and get status feedback on my keyfob. I did not install it myself, because I was having all the...

My business keeps me in Seattle, but I get home a couple of times a year so it all works out for me. Enjoy your trip!

That was about 30 years and a few boards ago. Wish I did keep it, though. To be honest, I don't really know much about tides. I always just looked out the window to see if the waves were breaking! :surfer:

My first board was one of Gerry's -- a 6'2" squared tail with camo graphics. Haha! Ho'okipa/Paia Bay will likely be your best bet for surf in that size on a smaller day. Honolua will also get like that as will the breaks in Paukukalo/Waiehu (although I've never surfed there). The other...

I traded in my surfboard for a snowboard when I moved up here. Surfing in a 7mm wetsuit is so not fun!

Born and raised Maui girl here. I grew up about a mile up the road from Jaws. Winter is definately a north shore break -- intermediate to expert, depending upon the break. Ho'okipa comes to mind, of course, but it's a long paddle (200 yards?) to the break unless you want to surf the reform on...

Yes, it really does depend on what kind of tire you're replacing. I went from 245/65/16 pizza-cutter street tires to 265/75/16 Duratracs and lost about 2 miles/gallon. No regrets, though.

20% seems to be a good match with the factory tint.

I've had mine on the Seattle area ferries a few times. Once, this a-hole's alarm kept going off as we chugged over to Whidbey Island. Turned out that a-hole was me -- the rocking kept triggering my motion sensor. Whoops! :withstupid:

I bought a set about 3 weeks ago in that size for my 2002 Sport Edition. I have no rubbing. I don't have a lift. Absolutely love these tires!

I picked up a set in 265/75/16 a couple of weeks ago to replace my pizzacutter 245/70/16s. I've put about 500 miles on them through a Seattle "snowstorm", rainstorm, and the one obligatory sunny day. Didn't take very many weights to balance either, which surprised me. These tires are...

I picked up one of those Aspen Multi-Sport hitch racks on eBay for like $70. Best investment yet. Hauls 4 boards. So with my Thule racks on top, we can take 8 total. Works just fine on my trips to Crystal Mtn.

My current Kenwood nav antenna is mounted under/behind the dash, completely out of sight. It works perfectly. My unit is the DNX-7140 so maybe that has a different antenna?

Here's a few shots of my Westin bars from 3 years ago.

How about a trailer hitch rack? I believe Thule and Yakima have some.
