    Decision time. Trail Comm with CB required per 4x4 club. Upcoming changes, need WX.

    I have Ham , GMRS and CB radios. Each has it's purpose. I had my CB tuned at a truck stop and it is invaluable on the highway listening to the truckers for entertainment and traffic conditions. I've been saved a couple of times from backups and exited for a detour.

    Watches.......the other type!

    Discovery 5 - Advice on larger tires for 22" wheels

    You are really better off getting the smallest size wheel you can fit. With a smaller wheel , you get more sidewall and that will provide a better ride aired down and protection against sidewall punctures.

    Adding two handles to the door helps and a strap to pull the door in. Depending on the door struts the door can be easier to close. My door is harder to close and my friends are super easy to close.

    MAXTRAX Extremes fail in the snow

    Sounds like the max traxs were spit out by spinning tires . Spinning the tires on the max traxs is not how to get traction. Could be a high center situation. A simple solution is to air down the tires to get better traction on the mats.
