The true GVWR is based on the tires. The listed capacity on the tires times 4. That is the main reason pickups GVWR varies. Dual rear wheel tires will list the dual and single wheel capacity.

Understood, My hope is this box will render the items inside usable after a CME or EMP. The use as a RF blocker is really not a consideration. To be honest, I am not sure it will be able to handle (what I would call amps) the power placed on it in a EMP. A CME is probably doable, as I understand...

Very nice rig! You should be able to reach 700yds with that set up. I have a burris XTR II on a 308. I have hit 600yds, but a few friends running the same set up have done 700yds. Mine is a 18" barrel. Here is a pic of my dad shooting it at 600yds:

What are the ranges of an EMP from a high altitude blast? how about the range of fallout the same blast, which is further. I know fallout is based on wind currents, how about an EMP?

Almost like our forefathers. My thermal and 6mm Creedmore are slighty more advanced than what was available back then. lol. Yes, my thermal will survive, it is in my farady box.

I have a good multi meter in there. Calculator is a good idea, However, the ipad has a calculator app, what do you think? My thinking is protecting electronics from a CME or EMP is not a prepper thing, more like a drybag for keeping items dry. Prepper covers a wide gamut to be sure. I do prep...

The intended use is to protect against CME's and EMP's. I know that is a wide spectrum but I have been able to block 50mhz all the way to 5ghz with total blockage. Will it stop a high altitude nuke or EMP? Dunno yet. Agreed about the cell phones. But, the apps will still work, maybe even the...

I just finished a project with a 1650 Pelican case that I have had around for ages. I lined it with Titan RF fabric and tape that I purchased from Mission Darkness. The pelican has a lid organizer and a old style padded divider. My intent was to put in a few radios and an ipad. After I was...

I have two of the cheap ones you linked to in my TJ (one for CB and one for tri-band). They do work, but the first two you linked too are way better. Idling through a trail, they are great but a little wind and speed and the cheap one is hard to hear.

Save the space on the ram mount for other (important) stuff. Put the speaker on the side or under the dash, seat, etc.. Nice set up BTW!!

FM will have better rx but to be useful, both rx and tx units would need to be FM, meaning you would have to upgrade to take advantage of your friends FM unit. I am firmly settled in the UHF band. Way too much $$ invested to go back to HF.

Do some research and build one. The learning curve is worth the time.

Regarding the high discharge, With the premier power (stick) it might be a problem. With the readywelder (wire) it should not be. The stick works on constant current (CC) and the wire works on constant voltage (CV). I have not tried stick yet, so I cannot say for sure this is true using...

I would agree, I cannot even jump another car with a full one, the BMS shuts it down. AGM's work great though. Cool repair you did to the spring/shock plate!!

I would suggest a readywelder if you know nothing about welding. Stick is an art, fluxcore wire welding is easier to master in a pinch. Either way, my suggestion is that you practice with whatever you end up with BEFORE you need it. Also suggest carrying bits of scrap to gusset and band aid your...

If you look at the side on the fender, where the badges go, you would learn more about winch.....

Our TJ runs really slow. A two hour trail takes us 4hrs. Lunch, hiking, etc.. When I bought the TJ 4years ago, I put on a vented hood cowl/louver. Not only does it look cool, it does actually cool. I figured since we were going slow on the trail, the known heat soak may be a problem. I don't...

The ipad will probably look better while using other apps. Comparing Gaia on a 10" ipad to the overlander, the difference is not noticeable except on screen size alone. About 4 years ago, I switched to Gaia on a ipad due to the lack of support on Garmin units. This was before the overlander. I...

It's approaching 20 years old, may be better to upgrade a little. However, if a battery is all it needs and it works fine, I would put it back in service. It most likely will not interface with newer stuff like the overlander or the inreach. Those were the break through GPS for maps!! I went...

Sweet ride! Good luck with sale.
