I use a combination of things. I've got a clamshell tool kit that has the basics and then a tool bag from LOWES I keep most of the odds and ends in, this fits in one of the hardsided craftsman totes that are stackable. It's my heaviest box that goes in the Jeep with the Food box being a close...
I've had decent luck on Facebook market place, HAM radio forums and ebay. Ebay has been the most fruitful when looking for surplus commercial gear. I just picked up a NIB BTECH GMRSV1 off of the MYGRMS forums for 20 dollars. I got a Motorola HT1000 off of facebook marketplace a little before...
I've took previously installed lifts off of one of my previous XJs and took it back down to UpCountry height. It's what I run on my current XJ as well. And 235 sized tires. It's taken me everywhere I want to go, places where Wranglers with tires 5 inches larger than mine were worried about...
Plenty of "eh" information in here on steel cased ammo.
Excessive stoppages. I have had a 2009 lot of WOLF when it was still manufactured by Tula that caused a lot of issues. This was a known bad lot that had bad annealing on the cases. But if you are having consistent issues with steel...
Got it narrowed down to these two. Anyone have any experience with them. Looking for wireless in camp lighting options that i can recharge via USB.
Not looking for high price options.
This thread inspired me. Threw A go bag together with a cheap "murse" i cleared out of my Jeep.
HT1000 with handmic and spare battery. Programed for some local GMRS and HAM repeaters along with some.simplex stuff.
In the bag
FRS radio i can toss to someone to use with spare batteries...
Those finishes that actually penetrate the surface of the material are the best for those environments. Before GLOCK changed their coatings you could sink one in Saltwater for months and the only rusted parts would be the springs.
N9TAX.com sells roll up slimjim antennas. He has a youtube channel that's pretty good as well.
I've got 2 of those EDFONG Roll up antennas. I've gotten great performance out of them. Even on GMRS and MURS I get good SWRs out of the HAM version.
I wasnt immune when i got sprayed but it took a while to kick in (we used fox labs for the cert) and didnt fully incapacitate me. Not to mention if you arent paying attention it can come back on you and the risk of cross contamination to the user is pretty high.
The CS chamber was similar. I...
Love the ability to hit sats on APRS it really opens up the capability of this service. And it's fun to send a text message though space haha. I might be able to hit you @Prerunner1982 depending on the footprint of the sats. I haven't used it for APRS QSOs just for sending simple messages to...
There's a few brands out there you can buy that have the heat traces in the lenses similar to a window defroster. Trucklight and JW Speaker are two of them. It takes a well designed housing/reflector to get that good sharp cutoff on low beam. The trucklights with the bar across the center of...
I run some Trucklite knockoffs from Amazon Price was about 90 dollars. I installed them about a year and a half ago. Still going strong. The biggest downfall of most cheap LEDs is the reflectors aren't well designed. On these knockoffs they seemed to do a good job of emulating the Trucklight...
Nope But I saw a can of it rupture in a buddy's saddle bags after a day of riding 2 track and barely maintained forest service roads on big adventure bikes. Made for an entertaining evening in camp watching him try to decontaminate his gear. I have to say it was quite effective in that...
