    At what point do you move from the cooler to a fridge?

    I'm trying to convince my wife that we need a freezer/fridge to safely transport wine home. Note that I still don't have a fridge. I'm also looking at the "transport frozen food home from Costco" angle, but also to no avail. It'll happen eventually.

    Help! My Motorola Saber Convertacom wont charge the radio

    The sabers have two different size batteries. One is for the Astro model and one for the regular model. Either battery will fit on either model radio, but they won't make contact with the charger correctly. You really have to wiggle the radio just so to get the wrong battery to charge. Then...

    Need to get active-er.

    Those vests are god-awful expensive. I just bought a cheap(-ish) backpack and some lead weights. Could probably get the weights on Craigslist for real cheap. Bonus is that the backpack is Camelback friendly. Speaking of Craigslist, you could get on there and buy a manual lawnmower for dirt...

    Need to get active-er.

    This thread got me to go look at the FitDeck. Oddly, I know the owner. He's a local SD guy and also does some Cross Fit training.

    Need to get active-er.

    x2 on both of those, especially the hiking. I'm not sure exactly where in town you are, but there's some great hills around. Woodson, Cowles, etc. Personally, I found the best thing to get me in shape (which I'm not in right now) was to own a high energy dog. I hike him to wear him out and...

    MURS questions

    One thing about GMRS is that the repeaters are business oriented and typically not "open" as the ones in ham radio are. A mobile mounted GMRS radio will have tremendous advantage over a handheld in direct comms, but don't expect that you'll be able to find a repeater to use.

    Arctic Ram

    Craig's got a lot of good advise on the 1500's. I suppose if I was in your shoes, I'd be asking, "Should I upgrade to a 2500?" How much weight in "expedition bling" do you intend to add? Will a 1500 stand up to the roads you intend to drive? How much will you need to sink into a 1500 to get...

    Hmmmm.... almost sounds like something that might go in the Camelback!

    Arctic Ram

    +1 to what Milo said. Plus -- keep the stock wheels. They have a great deal of backspacing. Most aftermarket wheels don't have as much backspacing, so the tires stick out further. If you have the aluminum ones and like black scuff them up and either rattle can them or powdercoat them. What...

    Dodge 2500 project

    Those are N-fab steps. They also have a model that has a third step at the back of the bar, but I didn't need that. My wife also appreciates the steps. Especially now that the truck is lifted. What I don't like about these particular steps is that they mount to the pinch weld under the door...

    Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4x4 Utility Crane Truck

    Mitsubishi Fuso 4x4 Found this on eBay this AM. Thought someone might be interested. I've been thinking about one of these, but can't afford it now. Usual disclaimers... not affiliated, never seen the truck, not related to the owner's wife, etc.

    Flag Pole

    What's it made out of? How much does it weigh? Does it have a base? I was thinking that it might also make a good antenna mast.
