  1. I can't answer your question but: I have a 2004 SR5 V6 TRD(stick) that I drove 3,000 miles in 3 days. I had a BIG dirtbike in the back along with several hundred pounds of personal belongings, 3 guys in the cab and it made it over 2 mountain ranges including the Rockies with ease. Any Toyota Dealership will be able to instal the tow kit for you. With the proper towing equipment and 4,000lbs I think youd make it fine, just stick to the slow lane EDIT: Oh, if you have $1,200 laying around you could slap on the TRD Suppercharger and get there in record time.... The pic was taken a week ago the camera date was not set.
  2. So whats your Caliber of choice? If its: .45ACP 5.56mm .308 or 30-30 I'll be glad to help
  3. It's prety obvious they didn't seriously talk to you about it. I mean if your goal was to land a wing suit without a parachute, why on earth would you burden your self with the extra equipment needed to exit at 30,000 ft. And where did they get this number?
  4. 13. Jeb Corliss and Maria von Egidy: Wing People. Mission// Fly like a bird The race to be the first to jump out of a plane and land safely without deploying a parachute is on. That's the goal of Malibu-based Jeb Corliss, 29, and South African Maria von Egidy, 41, who, working separately and in secret, say they've found a way for humans to leap from 30,000 feet and live-wearing flying-squirrel like wingsuits that slow free fall to less than 40 miles per hour while propelling you forward at more than 100 miles per hour. This can make for a rough landing, but BASE jumper Corliss claims to have invented a touchdown strategy that "can be done ten times out of ten without breaking a fingernail." Meanwhile, von Egidy, a former costume designer, says she's within a year and $400,000 of skydiving's ultimate prize; now all she needs is a willing test pilot. " Obviously," she says, "it will have to be someone very brave." By -JUSTIN NYBERG
  5. page 96 in the December issue of outside. Article: "How to save the world, Our 25 action heroes show you what it takes" Jeb shares the #13 spot with Maria von Egidy as they race to be the first to land a wing suit..
  6. Repost, but who cares. This is funny as hell and Im sure many missed it the last time.
  7. You got a point there. I take it its another wet and cloudy Oregon weekend?
  8. Don't pull right out the door at a Colorado DZ in Mid November (This is where a Frozen Smiley would go)

    Ok heres a better pic of her. This is about 3-4 weeks after we found her. That should give you an Idea of how Small she was when found. Thats a food bowl sent by one of my soldiers parents just for her.
  10. Na , I don't think clinton would win And it looks like bush has the lead!
  11. Corona. I got today off after completing a 25 mile ruck march on thursday. I definately deserve a brew
  12. You know what makes me laugh. I have a $2,000 High deff TV but don't get a high deff signal
  13. Never even heard of that. You got a link where I could get some info?
  14. Wana talk about resiliant, one of the UAV's im qualified to fly is designed to be crash landed. It busts apart on landing, you snap it back togeather and up you go. The best part of it is you can spy on people at night with the thermal cam built into it
  15. Nothing changed for me. It doesn't matter what kind of jump im doing. I always throw my PC before 3,200 even though I don't have to throw it until 2,000. I jump a Pilot 150 and if I throw at 3,200 I'll be fully open, slider stowed, chest strap open, and booties off before 2,000. If theres a mal durring any one of thoes stages I'll respond acordingly. Don't assume that jump numbers entitle you to open lower or decide lower? Its something that comes with experience and currency. Honestly this is a complicated subject. There are so many variables that can arise during pull time. Concentrate on spoting, canopy controll, Alt awareness and just overall being safe inside and outside the aircraft. And since you asked I didn't even realize when it changed for me. I concentrated on all the other things I needed too. And as some of thoes tasks became muscle memory I felf more comfortable going slightly lower.
  16. I forgot how confusing the BOOK was. Sorry couldn't find the answer. There are a lot of realy smart people on this site that will get you an answer in no time.
  17. Let me go check the good book and I'll get back to you.
  18. Hu, Of course.... I had a pitcher of water in the fridge When one must do a mountain of paper work the next day its never a good idea to have too many DRINKS
  19. Thanks, uh.. 1969912 I shouldn't have goten involved in the first place! Its just that the post wats so confusing to me that it sparked my intrest. But you cleared it right up..
  20. I've been siting on this one for a while. But Its time to speak out. When I got my new canopy a few months back(May) I couldn't pack it to save my life. I asked an instuctor at SD Oregon to help me. He showed me his method once(talked me thorugh it). After that I had no problem baging it folowing what he did(Not a phycho pack) Since then I have been to many DZ's and I haven't seen anyone use the same technique, and often other jumpers say "Wow, look at that pretty pack job.(Kinda sarcastic)" 2 weekends ago a guy came in with a brand new right out of the bag Sabre2 190. I watched him try to bag it for 2 hours without sucsess. I asked him If I could have a try. Using the same thechnique I was taught in Oregon I took it from a pile of shit on the floor to a nicely baged canopy in less than 3 min. Now, I unpacked it and went over the proces with this guy step by step but he couldn't seem to get it. He eventualy threw it in his trunk unpacked. So are some of us just really shity teachers or are some of us just un coordinated? Sorry for all the Spelling Erors, Its late......
