Hey Mike,
Does Big 5 or Sports Chalet carry those?
I believe the stores near there carry them, not sure though.
Have fun!

did you see my mount when we were at Gorman? I've got an L bracket that I picked up at Do-It-Center that has a hole on each side. Drilled a hole through my rear bumper (stock) and bolted it in there. The hole is about perfect size for the whip, and it doubles as a beer opener which is nice for Glamis.
Gimme a min, I'll take a pic.

only in the campsite after i'm done wheeling for the day my friend. even in the campsite a glass bottle is a $150 ticket in glamis ;) a few aholes leaving glass in the sand have ruined it for everyone.

I had no idea. I only drink out of glass botles because good beer doesn't come in cans (guiness and boddingtons are the exceptions)
are they enforcing that more this year?
i'm glad i'm a pack it in-pack it out kind of guy.

enforcing it more or not, its a big problem. dont get me wrong, i throw the occasional sobe bomb in the fire, but the BLM will race up and rail your ass if they see you with any glass anywhere out there.

i dunno how it is other places, but glass bottles were a big problem in glamis for a few years. not so much anymore, but all it takes is 20 or 30 ashholes who dont give a sheet tossing bottles in the sand to really cause a big problem. last thanksgiving when i was out there we got rolled on for starting a fire with gas at the base of oldsmobile hill, first thing the officer said was "hey you cant start a fire with gas!" "ok sir sorry" "you dont have any glass bottles do you? mind if i check?" they are bottle nazis now.
