Hey Darren,
If your gonna spend over 400.00 for a bored out stock TB, you should check
these out as well: www.flometrics.com/TBhomepage.html
Another option out there! Went to Alaska in August! Great weather and I
got to see the Northern lights for the first time ever (in Fairbanks) thats
wierd stuff! Great vacation! Beautiful state!
