    Birthday gun for myself.

    The recoil pad is the nice thin black piece of plastic. Which means all the recoil all the time! I was fortunate enough to get a few boxes of 175 gr 30/30 at big box for 16 buck before all the flippers bought them all and put them on arms list for 30-40 dollars per box (that's a whole other...

    Sad End to This Cautionary Tale, As Folks Start to Head Back Out Into the Wilds, Pls Be Careful

    Thank you for posting this. I keep seeing replies glossing over this nugget. From what I have see with the Germans, they left zero indication that this was their plan. Sure, communication was not as easy in the 90s as it is now. GPS was a very expensive luxury and email was something that most...

    12v Fridges - Empirical-ish Collection of Sound Levels

    Oh wow! Thanks for the info. It's funny, I've never been in a anechoic chamber, but the place I used to work had a "quiet room" that was used for voice over / narration work for videos. Just a regular office with sound chamber foam everywhere. It was a strange experience being in there. Not...

    12v Fridges - Empirical-ish Collection of Sound Levels

    Before you bow out, got a question for you. I assume you were using a handheld meter of some sort? When we did sound testing, we had one to make sure we would not go over OSHA limits (85 db?) but I don't remember which one it was. Anyway, how good/bad would you say a smart phone app compares to...

    Iceco JP40 or VL45?

    Yeah you bet! Like I said, mine is in my Wrangler. 15 pounds does not sound like much, but those add up. An extra pound here and a few there, next thing you know you are over GVRW.

    Iceco JP40 or VL45?

    I should stop posting before my second cup of coffee as I totally missed the fact that you were looking at ICECO for both! So now that I realize my error... I went with the JP40 because of form factor. I had already had a home built pull out for my regular cooler and looking at the...

    Birthday gun for myself.

    Dude, thanks for the offer! But, I live in East Tennessee, so that would be a bit out of the way... Yeah, my should is a mess, but I pretty much refuse to get surgery for it and just work around the pain. The 30/30 is a awesome round for this area, but shooting for fun is painful (wallet...

    12v Fridges - Empirical-ish Collection of Sound Levels

    As I write this, my Dell XPS fan just kicked on. It's just a normal fan sound. In comparison, I would say that my ICECO JP40 is just a little louder than that, which is to say, not much. I have slept with it running, and, at least for my tinnitus riddled ears, is not bad at all. But there are...

    price gouging.

    So how about we bring this tread back to life? I am justttttt now starting to see ammo on the shelves. It's not much, but it's there. Looks like the stores are also restricting everyone to one box of one caliber per day. Hopefully that keeps the armslisters from doing their thing. And speaking...

    Birthday gun for myself.

    Lever gun guys, I have a question: I have two, a Golden Boy 22 (most accurate 22 I have ever owned!) and a Winchester 30/30 Ranger. The 30/30 is a nice gun and is reasonably accurate, but it kills my shoulder. Apparently I have some shoulder injury from long ago that has made itself apparent...

    Need to pass a wire from engine to cab 2000 Disco II

    Thanks for the help all! We found the correct passages for passing the wires. We installed a CB in the overhead and a Yaesu FTDX-400 under the passenger seat along with an aux fuse bus. We also mounted two antennas onto the brush guard. The VHF/UHF antenna tuned great but we experienced a "no...

    Oh, I was basically agreeing with you! 2+2 or 1+3. Same answer, just different view points.

    Sad End to This Cautionary Tale, As Folks Start to Head Back Out Into the Wilds, Pls Be Careful

    Yes. I've gone out in the past with some people who liked to take risky routes. If I felt the route was dangerous or beyond my skill, I looked for a go around. Now a days, I only travel with people I know have the same risk acceptance as I do. I went with one dude a while ago who was bent on...

    want a pain in the butt?

    Oh no, I get it. I'm a starving "youtuber" myself. But my axe to grind is that others will see this and think that it is ok. Long hair next to a drill or drill press? No freaking way. But someone is going to see this and think its fine. But hey, she has oodles of viewers and is getting bank...

    New Bronco

    No kidding. I bought my 2018JK new in 2017. Ordered it actually. For the price, you really don't get much. It's very a-la-carte like the euro vehicles. And those addon things add up quick.

    Sad End to This Cautionary Tale, As Folks Start to Head Back Out Into the Wilds, Pls Be Careful

    I'll give you that on the fires. I'm thinking from my perspective and the thought that from where they were, a fire would not cause a disaster. But, that's me thinking from my computer. I've been lost several times in my Jeep. But I guess that as long as I maintain some sort of understanding of...

    Need to pass a wire from engine to cab 2000 Disco II

    Hi all. I'm helping a guy out tomorrow with a radio install. We need to pass an 8 ga wire from his second battery in the engine bay to the inside of the cab where we are mounting a small fuse buss. I don't really want to drill a hole into the firewall although he is not opposed to it. This is...
