    The Triple Threat Grand Cherokee (2003 WJ)

    ;) there's only about 1.5" between the interior plastic and the inside metal of the door, looks like it would be more, but the curve kills it. there are 3 large openings in the metal, 2 are where i mounted speakers and there is also a center one where the motor to release the window latch and...

    2001 WJ - The Dirty Nugget, DD build

    the rig is looking good! what PSI are you running on the street? i only run 30 on the street with my KM2's. i tried 35 at first but was actually wearing the center more, so i started only doing 30 to 33. you can do a chalk test to see if you're running too high (some times it doesn't work, i...

    Air tank to replace spare tire?

    you might fit 2 hotdog tanks under there easier than finding a really large diameter yet short pancake tank. i was able to get a 5 gallon tank in my Grand Cherokee interior spare tire well. if i hadn't done the batteries, i could have probably fit 2 tanks. i believe the my factory spare was 29"...

    Portable Jump Starter Recommendations

    JNC300XL. Tiny but works to start my v8... only good for starting not as a camping power source (small batt with high CCA but low AH). I charge it in the house every three months.

    Handheld antenna question.

    diamond and comet are the top tier ham radio antenna companies, i've been impressed with the diamond stuff so far. i've broken multiple whip style stainless CB antennas but never hurt my diamond 39" NR770HB, which is all metal. for mounts, you might also consider the K9000LRM. it folds over for...

    Anyone else frustrated with Apple/Mac?

    funny you posted this, i just bought my first MacBook Pro in December. before that i was always a PC guy, with linux in a VM... i wanted to get into mobile development for iOS and it's a lot simpler to run Mac hardware with OS X and still have Windows (via Parallels) than it is to run OS X in a...

    iOS/Android topo map app capable of caching an entire (or multiple) states?

    because it's missing a lot of features that many people want in an offline backcountry mapping solution. for just one example, how do you manage waypoints and tracks? thanks for letting us know that BCN's premium maps are slow, i have not purchased them yet. i've never had any problems...
