So i...

    WTB fridge/freezer in SoCal

    I just recently purchased the Whynter 65 quart (same as the edgestar 63 quart) about $440 from kmart with free shipping. That was brand new, it arrived well packed and withstood the usual abuse by the UPS man just fine. Might wanna explore that avenue.

    I'll vote for using the BU-353, I've got 1 mounted on the roof of my Ram to provide GPS to my vehicle PC. Still playing with different softwares though. I use XPort for dividing the gps signal to numerous programs simultaneously. Now if only the folks at TomTom would make a pc version of...

    i ordered mine too, unfortunately stuck paying sales tax here in NY, but still an awesome price. The only bad part is technically its a christmas present from the wife. Didn't want to let the deal get away though so i went ahead and ordered it.

    A little help, please indulge me. Icom 2800 replacement

    I'd recommend the Yaesu 8800 or 8900. I own them and a 7800 and like them all. If there aren't any 6m or 10m repeaters in your area save your money and get the 8800. I can't remember when i last used either of those bands on my 8900. The face is nice and small and very easy to mount nearly...

    Best paint for bumpers/sliders etc.?

    heck i rattle can'd my TJ (unfortunately i wrecked it) and it came out awesome and was VERY durable. The guy at the bodyshop took a screwdriver to it to see how much abuse it could take. Needless to say the only time it would come off was when the factory paint was chipped away with it still...

    HAM mobile in a 3rd gen 4runner - photos?

    you can make an extension for the mic with the appropriate cable ( i think it was 6 conductor) and coupler from radio shack (or similar store) and route the mic connector to somewhere else. This is what i've done in my vehicles so i can have the mic plug in at a more convenient location such as...

    Warn Industries Supports Expedition Portal

    Spekaing of WARN not letting people down. I decided to custom mount their 10k behind the bumper in my 03 ram 1500 because there is no off the shelf solution for the larger winches only for the smaller sizes. I originally was going to base it off a mounting plate from superwinch because it was...

    New 03 Ram

    I've got an 03 hemi 4 door long bed 4x4 with just over 90k on it and it never gives me any trouble. I'd recommend if it hasnt been done yet for sure putting new plugs in it. It seems intimidating with 2 per cylinder but when i did mine it only took 90 minutes start to finish, they are pretty...

    2m NMO vs UHF antenna mount

    i'd have to agree. and hell if you want they make adapters to go from nmo to other mount types. you can get them for uhf (so239) and for cb (3/8-24). but its sure nice to only have 1 type of mount in the roof so you can rearrange your install as necessary.
