    IPOD with no head unit?

    I don't have a radio in my jeep. I mounted my CB in place of the radio in the dash. I don't want to add a head unit but I am wondering if this would work?: If I added an amp to a speaker box, could I plug my ipod via mini/rca cable to the amp? Would it play thru the speakers without a head...

    BigAl's Jeep

    No, I had regular straight shackles with Grade 8 bolts in the back. It was the upper grade 8 that broke. I am not sure if grade 8 is meant to take the lateral stress from the shackles twisting when the jeep flexes? I know they are harder than regular bolts but may not be suited for shackles...

    Strange Solenoide Activation Noise while engine is off

    The fuel pump relay clicks, and the the fuel pump makes a "grrr":sombrero: for a few seconds whe you trun the key. I can't think of reason that it would do that keyless unless you have a short in your starting circuit.

    Forward Control Jeep (FC)-Scott Brady's Test Drive- A Great Read!!

    x2, I usually don't get excited about concept vehicles b/c they never seem to get into production, but I am praying for this one.

    BigAl's Jeep

    Best Trail Fix ever! Had a nasty suprise last Sunday, clunk, clunk, clunk... I stopped to check it out and found the upper grade 8 shackle bolt sheared off. Replacing it on the trail was a PITA. Luckily my boomerrang front shackles have and extra centering bolt that worked perfectly. The...

    Random dog shots

    If only they stayed that way:)... My yellow lab was that cute, then she turned into a bull dozier:) Delicate as a sledge hammer! I wouldn't have traded her for the world though.

    water shorts?

    I found these on their site that mostly fit what I'm looking for. Real belt loops are a "must have" deal breaker. I'm not swimming any more class II-III rapids with my shorts around my ankles:)

    Watches - ExPo Style

    I have been wearing a $9.99 Walmart watch kayaking this spring. There is no brand name on it, but it says "water resistant to 30 Meters". I strap it on over my neoprene glove so I can easily see the time. It stays soaked for long periods of time. After six trips, it's still going strong. I...

    Bummer, I like the looks of it. I'd like to see one with a roof rack and 2 boats. Our 08 CRV get 25 mpg on average.

    Concealed Carry Holsters?

    From the instructions that came with it it seams you can make it tighter, but I'm not sure how to make it looser. I think I am going to leave it alone for now. The MTAC looks well made. Here is a Black Mamba video I found

    Delorme Gazetteer Storage?

    I searched in vain a few years ago. I wanted a cordura binder with a zipper closure on 3 sides to hold a gazateer. I could not find anything close. My gazateers get really beat and I make notes in them, so it is not super easy to just buy a new one.

    Concealed Carry Holsters?

    I just got a Crossbreed Super Tuck for my glock. Has anyone used one of these? What else do you like? The retention is really good, maybe too good. I need to practice pulling straight up?
