for me i got my tech license because i volunteered at work (then a public university) as a pseudo first responder. we were trained on cpr, first aid, etc. we decided to use ham radios since FRS wasnt gonna cut it so work paid for materials and license fees. anyways, i never was into chatting...

jeez... just get a license already. if you can pass the online tests, you can pass the actual test. 1. you'll find the limitations of a 5 watt HT. 2. why you'll need a 50 watts or more if you do venture in the middle of no-where. 3. you'll learn about using repeaters while you are in the...

careful, that is only rated for 50 amps. my warn xd9000i maxes out at around 350 amps. i use the 300 amp suckers that are 4.25" long. and the wiring goes from 1/0 to 4/0 gauge. that one listed cant handle the wire size nor the amperage that might be full max capacity. expect around $15 per...

that cover only works for the 50 amp models? do they have other sizes? the 350 amp ones are around 4.25" long...

they are. issue is they make them in several colors and each color has it's own "key" so red will only mate with red, gray with gray, etc... see this: these are the 350 amp suckers i use for my winch. another guy in the old 4wd club i used to belong to, when he was setting up his dual...

get 2 batts. cheapy marine batts from walmart. use your generator to recharge them during the day or get a solar setup. i used to use a CPAP machine when i was (mis)diagnosed with SA. i would not use an inverter since to me, that is an extra step which just burns up energy as a result of...

no chances of back ordering... say from like 14 years ago???? ;)

pulse if it starts a smokin'... stop the winchin'... ;) seriously, unless SOMEONE's life is in danger; i would pulse my winching. or like winch 10 seconds... wait 5 seconds. winch 20 seconds... wait 10 seconds. remember, with an OEM batt and alternator, you are mostly protecting...

gosh no... i have some custom made front hitch for my warn 9000 winch. if it can handle being winched... guess what. i have lifted a few times to get me out of trouble...

1. cant see the post you linked to... dead link. 2. sure. again would like to see link. 3. depends on the batt type. AGM dont vent gas. flooded... yes. will you be driving the vehicle? how are you planning on maintaining the charge on the 2nd batt?

i know of one place, PISMO BEACH state vehicle off road area has a contract with a local towing company that charges like $150 per "rescue"... a bunch of friends asked the state rangers, they said, as long as you DONT OFFER UP FRONT. the person who is stuck needs to ASK YOU for help...

you could always bury your spare tire and run the cable into it... ;) you gotta ask yourself. 1. do you go wheeling alone? 2. do you go wheeling in desert type environment where trees are next to zero? in the 15+ years wheeling, there was one situation where i wished i had one. i was...
