Re(2): [Mobile-Portable] Outbacker

[Chuck Mabbott]

That is something to think about Dave, I will keep it
in mind for another upgrade [someday].  The trunk lip
mount I have is bulky enough to handle a small screw
driver.  But I went [this time] with whip......  If
you have pictures or web site I can look at.  I think
the [future] plan of small screwdriver, mount and rig
would pack and travel better but that is only a theory
right now.
