If you hook positive to positive and negative to negative (called parallel) you do not change the voltage only the capacity so 8x38Ah would give you one big 304Ah battery at 12v nominal. This is typically what you would want unless you were trying to run say a 24v system or something.

What are you asking for it? Is there a for sale thread somewhere?

I largely agree with Randy that most 2m stuff is not about having an optimal setup its more about keeping something in the air. There are however exceptions. Here is what I do: I drive a Jeep Cherokee with a big silly roof basket that affords easy mounting using a UHF style connection. For...

Anyone done any long term tests on these? Mean to say carrying them and using them to get unstuck/over stuff? I question the usefulness of this kind of product regardless of quality. I just don't run into a "man if I could have jut cleared that 3ft of soft stuff I would have made it" situation...

Nicely done. Good score for tidy work. One change you should make is the fuse for the Positive should be as close to the bat as posible. It's also not a bad idea to also gorund the gound wire to the chasis near the radio. If you do the negetive fuse must be between the radio and the new ground.

I have been listening for the last few weeks and there is a lot of traffic on it around here. That said I have thrown out my call a few time when its been quiet with no reply.

It's a jeep thing that I don't understand. My 98 XJ will not pop start even with a fresh bat. The computer must not give it any fuel cause it will just turn over and over down the hill but will not start. My 87 was not a problem so it's a penta star thing too.

Also in Auz unless you are some kind of rancher you are much more likely to encounter a "Roo" on the bush roads than a "bull", thus the big bumper guards are commonly called Roo guards. It's no wonder so much cool stuff comes from such a small population country.

Nice rigs. I have always wondered with the branch lifters about how they seem to aim right at the rack lights or in the case of the zuk your snorkel filter. I once lost a rain gutter cover on my XJ to a branch out in the Owahee.

That is a good point about them whipping around and it can be a problem with spotters and such. I would recommend a way of tying it back when people are around. Also a spring is basically mandatory for any 10/11 meter size antenna in an off road situation. I've never spent any time in an...

102" stainless whip (or something less) on top of the bull bar in front is a great setup. Down on the bumper I think it would be whackin' into the truck all the time. I hate fiberglass for off road. They snap too easily. Steel is real!

Sadly two years on I still have it sitting here. It IS going away this fall. So If anyone wants it NOW is the time.

Well it sounds like there are no H2 driving hams out there but maybe if you could post some pics of your interior and what you are wanting to mount we could offer sugestions.

I'm trying to envision how the tail gate would work with the drop. Other than that I think I would be cool. My trailer plan has a false floor in it with water, batteries and such under it but it is below the tale gate hing. I like the ramp idea.

Number one for me with a new rig is always tow points... Hum does that say something about me?... tires would be second.

I was not blessed with much in the way of skin pigment and I am finding that the summer sun is increasing uncomfortable on my skin as I age. Wearing sun screen results in feeling greasy all the time. Even with a nightly camp shower it's hard to get off and seems to attract dust and add to the...

I'm going to weigh in here and say I did not like them or feel they were a good value for me. I got 4 for my XJ with the bits of stuff in the tread. Strike one The bfg side walls were old and cracked looking when they arrived. Strike Two A few months in I had one go flat on me on forest...

Wow that looks great. I am inspired. Maybe I'll give it a try.
