2m/70cm Keep a few local repeaters programmed for the area you are in. I have found that the comfort level of my "navagator" is much more relaxed when she hears some chatter on the radio. Hundreds of miles from civilization and we can hear them. This means we have the option to contact them...

The very reason I went with those. Size does matter. I am 4.10 geared. Highway mileage was suffering. I needed some size to improve the final ratio. Towing is great. Not a fan of wider tires, not to mention that I do not have room for wider and the rubbing issues that those bring. The list of...

Aspect ratio 75% (33.8") yours are 70% (32.7") , little over an inch taller same width.

These are what I am watching for my next tire: Nitto Ridge Grappler 34" , they will fit :)

I had a friend rave about his Nitto tires. I was a firm BFG believer. When they took such a big price increase I decided to try the Nitto Terra Grapplers. Very glad that I did. They have been awesome. The wear is very good. Very quiet on the road. Grip in my high-desert terrain is acceptable...

Very nice execution. It sits just right. I love the look of a truck where you almost wonder if that was stock? Not jacked up so high you know "someone did that".

I think you need to go "full on hover truck" ...skip the SFA and go straight for gravitational generators :)

My Diehard Platinums must be about five years old now. Yesterday I rotated them in the truck from primary to auxiliary. The primary was not fully charging. Aux was full. We will see if the rotation makes a difference, or if I have a problem with one. Performing fine. One just a little weaker...

Just checked. I am running 1.5" for a total of 3" to the rear track. IIRC the front track is wider by 2.25" ? The rear tires get real close to the inner fender fully articulated. Spacers help that. Wider stance doesn't hurt. The rears are really tucked in. When you fill the fenders with tire it...

I am running Ford F-150 keys to level up the front. 1" spring spacers under the rear coils and 1.5" wheel spacers (3" total) on the back. I did heat and form the innerfender on the back for some light rub under full articluation. Nitto Terra Grappler 285/75-17 With the stock front bumper...

FRS radios can not have or use a removable antenna. This limits gain. That makes it a deal breaker for operations in all other radios.

Vehicle to vehicle, hiking person to person and emergency services contact. Having the mobile radio , my navigator (wife) allowed us to travel further and still maintain her level of comfort :) Hand held FRS, dual band portable, dual band mobile. The handheld FRS stay at home and have not been...

Yes indeed. I have been using a Zerostart "Little Buddy" cabin heater in my trucks for nearly couple decades now. Keeps the interior tasty warm and the windows defrosted / melted. I added a thermostat to mine. My son's car has a timer so it is ready to go before school. The only way to go for...

Be persistent. I had one purchased online that was somewhat "trying" to get approved for the lifetime warranty. In the end it was approved. All my over the counter purchases have been trouble free. It does take a while for approval sometimes, but worth it in the end. No where else can you get a...

Was Makita, tried Dewalt...now everything Rigid. Lifetime warranty including batteries. Very happy.

Ah. ok. You will want larger gauge cables to combine the two batteries. Those wires from theswitch are not large enough to support the needed amp draw when you are trying to start the vehicle by combining batteries. I would keep them away from the isolator too. Those diodes don't like heat...

You will not regret the AD244. If you are purchasing at a NAPA add HO to the part number and see if the have the High Output AD244 available. Mine was less expensive for the HO. Crazy. The CS130D has a fatal flaw in that the bearing is supported by a plastic bushing. When heated this bushing...

What year is your S-10? You might find my charging journey helpful: S-10crewcab.net - Bigger Alternator You will find missing images and links that may no longer work as that thread is a dozen years old now. "Wiring the regulator: The regulator has four pins. The big wire is the sense wire...

I have had an FT-8800R in my Avalanche for a very long time now. My transceiver is under the center console and the head mounted to a plastic bracket I fabbed.

I think you are on the right track. Here is mine: BLT Offroad Avalanche The stock evap system should be able to handle both tanks. Tie them together. Use a stock fuel pump and sender. Those are easy to find and replace if ever needed. I really like the Dakota digital fuel guage Reads in gallons...
