Need this info. The shortest you will be able to go will be either a Phantom type or a 1/4 wave. 3.5 inches tall. DOn't let the looks fool you these still perform really well as long as you have a ground plane for it. This is pretty much as short as you are going to be able to get...

Yeah you may want to spring the coin on a nicer for an Iphone in my experience they can be a little pickier.

It'll get the job done as far as pulling codes and some limited emissions equipment data. Some of the more full featured ones can give you real time data which can be useful in various ways. Even an old tech vehicle like the XJ can give you a lot of real time data. For the cost of that unit...

One of my favorite overnight places to hit up. Only about 2 hours away from my house to get up there.

My last XJ had a salvage yard motor. The receipt the previous owner gave me even showed where the salvage yard installed the engine. They did mostly good work apparently cause I never had any issues other than some missing brackets for wires. Let us know what you find. Are you having any...

An Axial Cherokee is on my list of things to buy for camp entertainment. And would probably be fun right now stuck at home. Wish they made a more stock looking version that I could paint up to look like mine.

I honestly had to read it twice before I realized what you were trying to get at haha. But yeah I get it. My daughter and I did a trip though a good chunk of NM right as all this was kicking off. We bought gas and a bag of ice from an automated ice machine and a few drinks here and there but...

Not sure if they id it at MCRD San Diego as well (probably did) but for sure MCRD Parris Island is closed down and are accepting no more recruits. They're just working on getting what they have though and into the fleet or on to various training schools. I'm sure it will pickup later but if...

From my last trip to NM to run the BDR Somewhere just outside the north side of Cloudcroft. About 10 or so miles south of Weed, NM up by a Fire Tower Got a late start so setup in the dark just outside of Carlsbad Caverns Ntl Park on a little square of BLM land. This was the next morning...

I've got nearly all the BDR maps. Good stuff and while not challenging in most 4wheel drive vehicles they make excellent trips.

If you park in a garage that won't work.

I've got a 4 port Battery Tender hard mounted on the ceiling of my garage. I've got a SAE pigtail that exits my grille on the passenger side and I hook into that when I'm home parked in the garage.

Make sure it's what you need for your terrain. Here's a good graphic on antenna gain vs coverage. More gain isn't always the answer. One of my favorite GMRS antennas for trail use is a little LARID 1/4 wave that's about 6 inches long and has "unity" gain. Get's me excellent coverage over...

I was about to suggest hitting up a junk yard for a couple of scissor jacks. They beat me to it. My XJ's mech bottle jack works quite well for recovery if needed but the scissor jacks are quite versatile as well and are low profile when you don't have a lot of space. A properly sized socket...

Looks like a pretty standard RAM X-Grip. https://www.rammount.com/product-lines/x-grip

I went from stock single hole units to 4 hole on my XJ. Noticed no real difference other than maybe better throttle response but that could have been because they were newly refreshed injectors instead of dirty 200k mile units haha. Honestly IMO it's not worth the cost. It's not hard to...

Without knowing the stock shock's collapsed and extended length and the new shock's collapsed and extended length I don't know.

The repeater channels should be locked in the software of the radio on those GMRS units. All GMRS repeaters are + offset. On the non GMRS versions of those radios you set the +/- to which ever direction you need the frequency to go when you key up then set the "offset" setting to whatever that...

Yeah, they're certainly a lot more involved than any propane stove. I have a propane adapter for mine that got used far more than the gas tank. Pump air in tank. Rotate lighting lever, open fuel valve 2 turns, light, let burn for a minute or so (I usually did 1 anda half or 2) then turn...

It'll be interesting. I forsee a lot of the old guys coming down on this as a big negative.
