spring mount is an excellent idea and one i have had for a long time. only issue is not quite sure how to incorporate a spring mount on a standard bed. those beds themselves are pretty flexy and I dont think built well enough to work with a spring mount system

personally i would swap out the tires. being a brand new truck, cutting sounds icky. i suppose a good question would be do you really NEED 35's? Or can you do just fine with 33's Looks good. How do you like the truck otherwise?

Took about a week to wash, scrape, prep, and paint. I used Eastwood products: rust converter, paint pre, ruberized rust encapsulator. There wasn't much rust to begin with. Only minor surface portions. But my last paint job of eastwood rust encapsulator didn't hold up to the salt here...

that looks quite good! are there any spots that it has chipped or cracked? that woudl be my concern with such a long flexy truck. why would you prefer to spray it if you did it over? the one concern with monsta or any like product of course is the inability to 'redo' in the future, or the...

what kind of prep work are you suggesting. I do not have a garage or any sort of cover to work under.

So I have 2 vehicles that are needing paint at some point soon in order to protect and prevent body rust. There are some paint chips from normal use, and areas have started surface rust. Spots are relatively small currently, but the rest of the paint for both vehicles are rather old and need...

I don't think anyone is actually fulfilling or allowing 'builds' from the factory. My dad just went to 3 places in the last month to look at a vehicle change, and they basically told him whatever he sees on the lots or online is all there is. No custom orders were allowed or even discussed...

Specifically speaking to Alaskan campers for those who have them, but applies to any camper. Full sized trucks (older with C channel frames - like my '97 OBS for example) have pretty significant frame twist, causing beds to really move even if only going over a speed bump. Naturally this...

Jeep. Because no other vehicle will get you there.

so wouldn't a no ground plane antenna work better then? what about the left rear above the tail light and having a post of some sort extend the antenna above the fiberglass top? Also, is there much performance difference between a 1/4, 1/2, and full wave antenna considering the constraints...

Mike here has a great point. I go back and forth a lot as well. Between a camper for my F350, or a nice little trailer for my TJ. both get you out. one is more comfortable, the other is easier and goes more places. One is good for all seasons, the other being smaller likely is used more...

I am wondering on smaller vehicles like a Jeep, where good locations might be for GMRS antennas. I currently have a 102 whip on the right rear corner via a ball mount (swr is way off so it needs some better grounding). When working, it worked quite well and I was pleased by the range, being CB...

Just had a random thought - though i typically dislike hybrids, the hybrid option of some trucks (not full EV, just hybrid) could be super beneficial to those with campers. Since the lithium battery (for Ford anyway) is already wired to offer operation of higher voltage items. It probably...

Been thinking really hard about placing an order to tow behind the TJ. Its not the optimum set-up but probably works for the 75% of the time. Anyone tow one behind a TJ? I wish they were narrower and had the same width and track width. I'm curious how much the 13" width will negatively...

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Good or bad? Insane Audio TJ1002 aftermarket head unit. Insane Audio TJ1002 Head Unit for 03-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ | Quadratec I once purchased the factory GPS radio, and sold it before even installing after realizing it was not supported and required the CD...

I actually like the cactus grey. hoping they keep that color with the new '22 model year

Oh yeah not sure how I missed that earlier. How do you like the ranger aside form the apparent terrible mileage? which its weird mileage is so low... Have you tested it at only 60 instead of 80?

Anyone out there rockin one of these on the Ranger? I see a lot of Toyota and Chevy, no Rangers though other than some random youtube vid's.

yeah except the current methods of extraction for raw materials for batteries is way worse for the environment than carbon. at least with current technology. and still requires gas/oil based machines and equipment to turn into a product and ship to its final destination. But maybe in another...

I come up with the same. Over the last year or so have searched and checked randomly to see about those 'rebates' and price differences...the ones folks claim dont seem to be anywhere to be found. With new anyway. I think there should be the disclaimer with all the comments about rebates (not...
