Those batteries should work as long as you charge them all the way up after depleting them or maintain their charge while depleting them. No matter how much you spend on a car battery, it has to get topped off as soon as possible to last. Some batteries recharge faster and easier, some are more...

Congrats. You tried the extra? It's a bit more difficult... So you passed technician or general?

I realize that the contest didn't turn out quite as lively as you had hoped... But somebody has to win, right? Here. Use this. Just pick somebody. http://textmechanic.com/text-tools/randomization-tools/random-line-picker/ If I win I'll donate the Expo package to another family since we're...

Dustin and Scott really hit the nail on the head. When I first got in a Jeep for a test drive I was clean shaven. When I finished the drive, I had a beard and my pants fit awful tight around the groin. I spoke in grunts. The only true word I formed was "want". I never drove anything else...

You'll pass. You're an electrician, dammit. You got it in the bag. 73

I recently had a similar problem and tested my coax; I had buggered when I pulled it through gaps in my install. New coax and no more problem. Did you test everything? Ham. Maybe a translation error...

Good luck. I'll put my radio on 146.805 +600 PL-100 (repeater in Jasper) on the way home today around 4:00-4:30 and holler for you. ...if the old-timers aren't on there chewing rags and debating coax brands...

I have to agree. Wranglers do some things great; acting like an SUV isn't one of them. A Wrangler shines offroad. And it's fun to build. But they tend to leak, creak, rattle. They're spartan, uncouth, and sometimes unwieldly. But I wouldn't trade mine for two Toyotas. I have to disagree...

I feel ya. My JK is a '14, 62,000 miles, lifetime warranty, paid off. I plan to drive the wheels off. But the lifetime is finite at ~ 25,000 miles/year and the diesel would be the replacement. Say a 2024 or so...?

Good old-timey linen was boiled first so that it wouldn't shrink. Nice material for summer. It can kill you faster than cotton in winter. They used to mix it with wool for a three-season blend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linsey-woolsey

I've got my General with a 2M hard-mounted in the Jeep, a 2M/70CM HT, and a CB. If I could get in the wayback machine, I'd have an all-band and carry an extra antenna or two. Right now I think I'm going to mount a 20M and one more antenna and declare victory... Around here I've gotten somebody...

That would temp me sorely. The range and towing capacity....

X2 Now I want a smaller one for lugging around in the Jeep day-to-day. The 52 is too big for groceries. And my old Colemans just don't works as well; time to toss them.

I hope you're coming to Overland Expo East even if you don't win. I'm looking forward to meeting your hobbits. Thanks, Brian.

So who won the Grand Prize?

How far beyond the fender are you? Going from 295 to 285 just moves you half a centimeter inward. I'm assuming you have 17" wheels? How about the ST-Maxx in a 255/80-17? Great tire, not too pricey, can handle German winters.

Victory. Did the fill test last night, half ice and half water. No leaks this morning. Condensation of course. The new orange cap is a darker orange by a full shade. The small gasket is wider and fills the black cap better. Note to Cam: include a pair of replacement gaskets with every...

My colleague's daughter has a Cherokee 9 speed that's on its third tranny so far. They gots their bugs for sure.

No --- Thank you. Got my replacement cap from CI about an hour ago, filled it with water, and am happy to say that it's not leaking. I'll go home and fill the cooler with ice water to be sure though. Could be as simple as a batch of bad gaskets for the cap.

I recently had a '16 Challenger as a loaner car, 9-speed, and was getting 26 mpg with it when I drove it nanny-style. It really impressed me. Not sure if I ever hit 9th but the trans delivered as far as I was concerned. Hard to believe that it was a 3.6 Pentastar just like my Jeep. It really...
