Switched up to a 12' piece of galvanized conduit for the handle and things are much nicer. I was able to fit it in the passenger compartment of the impala, which says a lot about that car. When I switched up to the F150, I had to open the slider window because it wouldn't fit in the box. Gotta love a car that big.
No offense intended with the 'what is this thread about' comment... just think it's funny that it's us hijacking SunGirl's thread instead of the other way around. Looks like she has moved on, once again without responding to any of the salient points. So it goes when clinging to the indefensible.
