One more quick question....where did you get the dash mount for your CB?

Great looking WJ! My son has one that we are slowly fixing and building. We just completed a waterpump change and will button that up today. Spark plugs are next. It idles just a little roughly, so I'm hoping the new (OEM style, as you did) plugs smooth it out a little. We will then move to...

Ok, so my son has bought an 04 WJ Grand Cherokee with relatively low miles (103k) a V8, and Quadratrac II awd system. He's working a minimum wage job to pay for it, fixes, and upgrades, with occasional help from his old man. He won't have his license for about a year, so he doesn't have to...

You say when, buddy! That's a standing invite. I'd love to meet you and see your Jeep! We could put you up for a couple nights, too. Whatever you need!

This is great news! Let us know where you go. I'd love to meet you and buy you dinner if you pass through the heartland!

My son just bought his first vehicle, and it was a real find. It is a 2004 Grand Cherokee with a V8 and only 103k miles on it. There is no rust and the interior is perfect. We're just going through it and fixing things and getting all maintenance up to date, but once it is paid for, he says...

Lol, if I could get there, I'd start one myself! Maybe one day I'll get down there again!

Lol, that's great! That's how it should look!

Welcome! Let's see some pics of that XJ. I love those machines!

I added some insurance yesterday. I took off a 14" light bar because it really didn't add anything to the super bright factory LED headlights. I replaced it with a pair of 55w Hella 500S Black Magic incandescent driving lights. Why? In case the LEDs freeze over in a snow storm. I had that...

My fridge has been running non stop since I received it. It has been perfect. When I fix my garage up, I'll take it out of the Jeep when not on a trip and it will keep my beer cold on my work bench.

I agree. I've run Mobil 1 in my vehicles for about 34 years or so and never had an issue. That includes cars, trucks, lawnmowers, and more, and every type of automotive engine, from old inline 4 cylinder engines to a 3.5 GDI VVT Turbo Ecoboost. I've never had an issue and engines were running...

Lol, I'm no expert, just a curious oil nerd. Just stick with an oil made by a reputable name brand, or if a generic, make sure it is SN or SN Plus rated and Dexos 1 Gen 2, and you'll be in great shape. That Co-op oil might be made by Warren Products, which makes a bunch of store brand oils...

Some blends are still outstanding oils. For example, Pennzoil Gold 0w20 in some ways looks even better than Pennzoil Platinum 0w20, on the product data sheet. It has a significantly higher flash point and a virtually identical pour point. Unfortunately, it is hard to find in my area and with...

What's great, too, and exemplifies this is that I ran Hells Revenge in Moab with a buddy from a Jeep forum. We discovered that we were both members here, too. Pretty cool! He's the first to notice my badge, btw. It will be fun to see if others pick up on it. I'm certainly looking around...

Thanks! I'm really grateful for your help! You'll be saving us some time and befuddlement, for sure!

I can't wait to see your Rimrocker videos! A couple friends and I should be on it on the 20th!

That's one of my favorite rigs on the whole forum. Nice work!

I don't think so, but unlike the Uniden, the keys are only lit when using it. The display is fairly bright, though. I'll continue to play with it and might even get off my lazy butt and check the manual. I went through the menu and didn't see it. On another note, yesterday, I drove down to a...

I first tried the little antenna that came with it and was actually surprised at how well it did for its size. Since then, I've installed a Comet antenna with a trunk lip mount. I've not tried it for distance yet. It does stand tall, so I'd imagine it will reach out a good distance. If not...
