My stick is a 2002 Ride Mountain Wide 163cm, and I love it!! I think Ride has changed hands now, but I do know that they no longer make the Mountain series. I've never been a big fan of Burton boards, they are too soft for my riding style. I see that you are running Flow bindings Fantic, I run them too, they freakin rock. I can bind in on the way up the chair lift, and just bomb it from there!! Love them!! Their only downside is, when in the back country, they are a little more work to get in and out of than conventional bindings, because of powder, but that is simply all I can fault them for!! I have some pictures of my rig, I'll dig em up and post them later.

Good catch on the Flow. I normally keep the front foot (left) real tight and the right one a little loose, so i can lift the heel a bit and turn/jump better.
The downside is that they flect too much on compact snow.
I have seen a traditional binding that can be disconnected from the board, and stays with the boot, that is awesome, works like a ski binding and you can change the angle without needing a screwdriver!
What suks is a rule that says you have to unfasten at least one foot to get on the chair lift, come on who needs that! I jump like a rabbit if i can't move to the chair lift ahahah..

I just skate to the chair, then on the way up, I reach down and bind in. I have been boarding for almost 10 years, and I still absolutely HATE unloading!! I guess I have a stigma or something!! LOL!! I run both of my bindings pretty loose, I like the board free, so it can float around on my feet. I just rely on reflexes to keep on track, but that thing is super aggressive. If you try to cruise and *****-foot it, it will put you on your butt!! I ride with a very aggressive knees bent stance, and it rides like a dream. I have ridden several different types/styles of snowboards, and this is definitely my favorite!! Hence it being such an older model. Regardless, it still rips, we rarely get passed, but speed is pretty much my gig with snowboarding. The consequences for crashing on jumps at my age are too devastating. I jump and fart around a little, but stay away from the board parks these days. The jumps are HUGE, and that ain't no BS!! I like riding powder, or blasting a fresh groomer at mach speeds, and that is enough risk for me!!

I picked the worst time to help my cousin put a lift on his jeep. The rear leaves were rusted so bad. We got the driver's side in, but the pass has been a HUGE PITA!! We finally got the frame side bolt off last nite (had to cut), but the welded nut fell off. 
His jeep has been in my garage for the last 2 days, so I been scraping ice for the last 2 days.

Thanks COSI!! So what we were going to do was drill the unirail hole a bit bigger, then pop a shackle nut with the washer flush against the frame and weld it in there. The weld and the nut side pressed into the hole should make it solid?
LMK if you think there's a better way. Did you cut a hole from the other side and hold a nut in there til the bolt grabbed it?

No, we cut it in the bottom. On his the hold hardware assy came apart, and we had to get that out ogf the way before we could get it fixed right. After that fix, it has been fine, so I guess it worked!! Now he has TnT frame stiffeners, and they covered up the hole.
