do you lock the doors of your jeep?

I never lock my wrangler Never. But I also live in a small town not a big city like you. And th ere is not to munch to steal anyways other then a 20 dollar CB and left over change from the gas station and stores. Oh and a cheap jack nothing that can not be replaced.

Jamie,

Those lights on your hood, do you get any glare from them off the hood that projects back on your windshield. I have 3 150 watt daylighters on a lightbar on the bumper, and was considering putting more on. Seems I wheel alot in the socal desert at night. Its just to hot to do it in the day. :)

Move them up. As you know you are driving in constant fear of driving off a cliff with your lights below eye level:

And, a racoon with a razor blade will just ruin an otherwise fun camping trip.

-- You should be able to tell how dangerous he is, if he's wearing his cap backwards or not *snikker*

My daughter was telling me that there is a new anti theft device that emits an electrical shock to the would be crook. I'd kinda like to see that. Then, while he's laying flat on his back from the first jolt - slap a shock collar on him and explain it to him.

When he's begging for merch and has to figure out how to get home without his buddies seeing that he peed his pants, then you could set him loose, but not before one or two more little zaps just for good measure.

A raccoon will bite into a tuna fish can just to suck the juice out. They don't need razor blades. My wife said it was real comical, in a primitive sort of way, seeing me buck naked outside the tent in the middle of the night, throwing rocks at raccoons. Good thing she forgot to take photos. Don't camp where there are lots of raccoons.

Cheers,

ULB I do not get any glare from them when I use them offroad. But they are also only 55 watt lights to. But I have some other ones I can put on some 120 watt ones and tell if I get any glare. If you would like me to do that I can do it friday or sat night? And report back to you how it is.

That would be awesome. If you can't get around to it no problem. I think my jeep has only had 4 washes in its life, so it is usually dust caked from the socal desert, but still glare could be an issue. I really like the idea of hinge mount lights, adjust left side by myself, and passenger by well err the passenger. Gives us the opportunity to adjust while parked or moving real slow and not having to get out.

Here is my setup.

Take care,

Tell her Thank You for me, please! ;-)

On our last trip I brought a big plastic bin that fits the back of the CJ7 and used nuts and bolts and clamps and vise grips every night to hold it together but it didn't stop him from chewing on it all freaking night trying to get into it.

We had neighbours with a dog the first couple nights, no coons, then the fun started.

Anything left out got a bite. They got the vinegar bottle the first night and didn't bite too many things else in that one box.

I finally covered the big bin with pepper and bits of duct tape. glue up, covered with pepper for a nice sticky 'hot foot' and poured Louisiana Hot sauce around the edges to stop them chewing it. I filled some duct tape with the sauce and put it on the corner he wanted to chew the most. The first night this way, he got a couple hot feet and went away Mad. Really mad from the sounds of the snarls and spits and going ons. We found two of the duct tape pieces down by the lake next morning and a few tracks in the pepper.

The next night they were there before dark so my wife treed one. Then she treed the second that came along a little later. That was a fun night, she didn't let them come out of that tree until after we went to bed and these two coons really didn't like each other, the second one went up the tree to start a territory fight until he realized 'he' was now in for it too. LOL! They tried changing trees three or four times, but they couldn't stop their scratching noises so were easy to follow. They didn't come back that night and waited until 'after' we were in bed after that.

Then the next night one pussyfooted around the edges of the box so as to only leave one paw print, then he tried chewing. Well, the howls and barks and snarls that came out of him when his nose got into the black pepper and hot sauce I poured along the edge was worth the lost sleep. My wife and I were almost pissing ourselves laughing. He tried twice, once later or there were two equally unhappy because there were two nice nose prints in the sauce. LOL!

The following nights, we just had the odd one try and they disliked the pepper sauce just as much. LOL!

Not as funny as your story, but my fishing buddies and I had a run in with some raccoons in Eagle River, WI a few years ago. the resort owner warned us that the raccoons were very brave and that we should not leave anything outside that they could get in to. The first night fishing we caught some walleyes and a couple bass, and left them chained to the dock on a stringer so we could fillet them in the morning. The next morning, all the walleyes had been removed from their heads which were still on the stringers. Our boats had been boarded and all the minnow buckets and livewells were cleaned of minnows. The nightcrawler and leech containers were all opened and emptied. Our large coolers full of minnows were slid out from under the deck of the resort and mostly emptied. There were raccoon tracks all over the dock, in the boats and around the decks.

The last night we were there, we put out some leftover food that was spiced with habanero and cayenne pepper, and was not fit for human consumption because it was so spicy. The next morning, all that was gone too. Our only satisfaction was that somewhere there were several raccoons dragging their asses on the ground and dipping them in the water to squelch the pain.
