I'm in a 4000 lb XJ, I'm not real concerned with it though I could see those being in heavier vehicles possibly having an issue.

That's my favorite way to run a winch. When I'm daily driving my Jeep I don't have to lug around 100 lbs of mount and winch if I don't want to. I can leave it behind in the garage.

I lived in Saginaw (north east of the Walmart and railroad tracks) for about 3 years when I was stationed in Fort Worth. Enjoyed it up there. CLose enough to work to be convenient but not far north and you were out of the city.

Wonder what he performance difference is between blow and rotomolded.

I just toss a frozen gallon jug in the cooler the night before then the day of drop 2 smaller half gallon blocks in then 1.5 bags of ice ontop of that. Some people use a "Sacrifical" bag of ice the night before. Toss the ice and refill with fresh ice right before you leave. Just pulling the...

Hooked the smoke tester up to my exhaust and found the header to downpipe junction still leaking slightly so snugged those down a but more and found a leak at cylinder 5. Snugged that bolt down a bit more and it all seems sealed up now.

Even "high quality" radios like those from the "big three" can be easily modded to open them up into those frequencies via the "MARS/CAP mod". Depends on radio but it's typically via removal of a resistor from the circuit board or snipping a single wire. Some Yeasu handhelds can be opened up...

Replaced lower control arms video above. My ride is better much better with the GC control arms but I'm not sure if that's because the GC arms are so much better or because I'm no longer rolling around on wallowed out bushing bores. :D Then even after replacing the header/downpipe gasket I'm...

Model? Link? The GPS chip in my budget tablet is S L O W. Would like to find an option without spending a sizeable chunk of my paycheck.

That microwave is the one I keep seeing for one of the most compact low power options.

Those are on my shortlist. When I rebuild the diffs I'm going to put a TruTrac i the rear at least, possibly on both ends. Also if I'm doing a diesel conversion my two options would be VW swap (jetta or bug) or R2.8. R2.8 if I could afford it VW if I was on a budget.

Welcome :D You're not far from a lot of good camping :D

Great writeup so far. You're making me want to get back out there and run more of it.

The problem is the vast majority of people don't wear them properly. They wear them far too low and too loose. They should be as high on your thigh as you can practically get it while still clearing gear. Most people are better served if they need to clear equipment by a "duty drop" holster...

I've got one of the Lifetime rotomolded coolers less than 30 quarts. Been very happy with it for the cost. Could never justify the cost of a YETI or RTIC. I could use that basket though :D Been trying to find something similar to go in my cooler to keep my Bacon and whatnot out of the water.

What projector are you using?

Good deal, love it out there. When I went there was a lot of rain going on so we didn't make time as good as you guys did on day one lol. We started pretty early and didn't make it to Bluewater Lookout where we camped till after 5pm. Day 2 got us as far as just outside Cloudcroft.

To be clear, they share all of the simplex frequencies. When they made all those rule changes in 2017 they combined both services so now all 22 simplex channels are shared. The only differences being bandwidth settings and power. FRS will be narrowband and 2 watts on all channels except for...

I was up there too but a little further north with a couple of buddies. Ticks are also a problem right now lol. I pulled 4 off of myself in a few days even with copious use of OFF. :P

Plenty of compact options for cooking/reheating. You say you carry a Jet Boil already. There are lots of pot and pan options out there that work with that setup using the "Flux Ring". Jet Boil themselves makes a few but expect to pay cause it's Jet Boil haha. JET BOIL POTS AND PANS...
