What was done to your rig this week?

sounds like a load of weight to be mounted to molle panels but i could very well be wrong. Is removing one of your seats to put goosegear out of the question for you?
The slide/mount would still rest on the bed, just secured to the molle to prevent it from sliding or moving around.
Cab is already spoken for.👍
 
I finally got my winch and bumper installed. It took Evo a day to ship the bumper, it took FedEx a week to get it all to me. The hoop went from California to Arizona, via Maryland.
Looks great! I kinda miss not having the hoop on my rig now LOL
 
Replaced front driver speed sensor. Damn dog was nice enough to move on from chewing up the rear speed sensors but ended up at the front 🤦‍♂️ so far 3 speed sensors and 2 evo brake lines in the rear, now this front driver speed sensor. Also noticed my trans and bell housing covered in oil 😩 note the water/oil puddle in the back of the picture.

I changed my 2023 Gladiator grill out to a 2024 grill and changed my old bumper to a Evo 1/4 pounder. Looks better. NOW- I'm trying to figure out what bracket I can use to re-mount the Fox shock reservoirs? Is there a specific mount that works or do I need to find someone to fabricate a bracket?

FYI- the reservoirs are "temporarily' mounted until I figure out the solution. Using my other vehicle until I get them mounted safely.

I personally have not seen any aftermarket brackets for the factory Mojave Fox reservoirs when using something like a Quarter Pounder bumper. Making something to make them work shouldn't be too difficult though.

Chirp Programming Baofeng UV-5 hand-held radios for GMRS NOAA and Eddie's special sauce with Linux

A while ago I purchased a couple of Baofeng UV-5R +plus (redundant, but that's the model moniker) which came unlocked for programming from the distributor. This is a dual-band (amateur and FRS/GMRS) unit that can be programmed by hand. Since I'm 75 years old, I don't have the time left to fat finger 60+ frequencies on the Baofeng keypad, so I decided to use my Ubuntu (Debian) laptop with the open-source (free) Chirp software and a $16 programming cable. Most folks use 64 bit WinDo$ computers to run Chirp, but since I used to believe Bill Gates was the Anti-Christ, I don't have access to any Micro$oft compatible hardware made in this century.

After downloading the Chirp software, installation on Debian was an almost trivial three-command line process and one to launch the Chirp software. I use Red Hat/Centos Linux at work, but the process is very similar as long as Python 3 is already installed.

sudo apt install python3-wxgtk4.0 pipx (Debian)

sudo dnf install python3-wxpython4 pipx (RH/Centos)

meljr@meljr-XPS-13-9360: sudo apt install python3-wxgtk4.0 pipx
meljr@meljr-XPS-13-9360: sudo find / -name chirp-*.whl -print
meljr@meljr-XPS-13-9360: sudo pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20250221-py3-none-any.whl


meljr@meljr-XPS-13-9360: sudo /root/.local/bin/chirp

Chirp automagically recognized the radio and how it is attached to my laptop, so from that point, the programming was just like filling out and saving a spreadsheet to a file before downloading to the radio; almost trivial. Now in conjunction with my Cell, SSB/CB and the JT's SOS feature, I'm ready to drive back to Nevada next weekend and more off-road adventure.
