Hmm.. mebbe I need MORE lift.. so I can look down on the TRUCKERS as they 
drive by... ;-)

Ah hah!  Finally!  A good justification for getting a winch.  "I need a 
step to climb onto the hood with".  Great idea, Willy!

> I have a winch, does that count for envy points?

Um... you bet!  The winch and the soft-doors sure have MY envy.. and of 
course, this summer, the fact that your Scout could get out of it's own 
way *even uphill* was a big envy-point, too.

Trying to keep up with the Joneses, Willy?  Or just the Manderas? ;-)

lol!

Here's another thing that, were you single, you could get the rest of us 
to envy... your dates don't have to CLIMB to get into your truck. :-)  I 
joked, "You think THIS one is tall?  Wait 'till I get the other one 
done.. it should sit a good 5" higher when I'm done..." "Noooo!" she said 
with a smile.

Hmm.. I guess I need to get that 'cage installed (you got me one-upped 
there, too, Willy) so I could hook a rope to the cross bar for those 
"altitudinally challenged" dates to use to get in..
