Bumpers
Jeffrey, I'm just envious. Although I'm not a neat nut, I try to wash my van after particularly dirty trips, but that's proven to be mostly futile. Here in the frozen desert of the Northern Rockies, we tend to get brief, dirty rainstorms and snow showers, almost like mini-dust storms. As a result, the SMB looks like it's just been driven down a long, dusty road, when it's just been sitting in the driveway.
I'm very impressed with the clarity and sharpness of your photography. What camera/lense setup are you using for these SMB pics? I take it that you are a professional photographer as well?
One more note on bumpers. One person on the SMB owners group on Yahoo mentioned that a friend of theirs got their second SMB without custom bumpers just to make the rig less noticeable and cut down on the number of SMB questions they got. People certainly notice my Aluminess bumpers right off the bat, but I think that for possible defense against collisions with deer that they are worth the price.
