    It leads to a fun and interesting game, in which the high score may not necessarily be the winner, lol

    Do you prefer “On X Off” or “Trails Offroad” (with Gaia)?

    I was primarily using Gaia, as it does the job and worked over carplay (convenient); but looks like onX finally has Carplay support after this last app update. In my area, Gaia does great in National Forest areas, but not so stellar on state land (or at least I haven't been able to find a good...

    School me on radios please

    Just an FYI note on this... very recently the FCC has started putting pressure on the Chinese radios (and others) to block non-type certified bands. Even the good ol' ever popular cheap Baofeng handhelds are now shipping with GMRS transmitting blocked. I'm sure there's probably a quick/easy mod...

    5G Phone Service SUCKS on My iPhone

    They set them up to prioritize 5G; and while that might be fine for the majority of people, it can sometimes suck for those of us who live on the fringe. One example - say you've got a tower within a half mile that's still 4G, and a tower 2 miles away that's been upgraded to carry 5G; your phone...

    Best way to get a lot of dirt out of the inner frame?

    Put an oscillating sprinkler underneath and let it run overnight; then try to spray up there with a hose to get whatever's left. Still be hard pressed to get it all, but that's always what's worked best for me. Either that, or just install some things under the jeep, and it will all fall on...

    VHF / UHF - Race Radio Antennas, Mounting & Grounding

    I would use a duplexer rather than an A/B switch. I'd imagine a switch would be quite lossy; and you wouldn't want to forget to flip it back over and inadvertently transmit over a radio without an antenna connected. I used to run two radios, and just used two antennas, but eventually caved...

    Coilover spanner tool

    Not sure on King, but on Fox coilovers I've always used a 5/16" punch; fits the holes perfectly, and for some applications it gives you more room to work with over a spanner wrench (i.e. coil bucket or remote res hose getting in the way). If I need more leverage, I put a wrench or tube or...

    Playa Recovery

    I saw some bits and pieces here and there across some Toyota FB groups. Never saw if they got them out yet or not. Aside from that, all I know is that I've since seen this meme more times than I care to count.

    GMRS radios

    The midlands work great when paired with a permanent mount antenna. The magnet mount it comes with works, but range isn't great, and offroad it tends to fall off... but of course by the time you get the midland and then another antenna , mount, and cable, you might as well of invested in a...

    Need rear lighting?

    Sometimes you really do get what you pay for though... Brand new out of the box it was immediately popping fuses; traced it back to the light itself, and this is what I found when I opened it up.

    Need rear lighting?

    My vote would be for, and I'd do them in a flood pattern to help make up for the low height; and on an independent switch from your reverse lights so that you're not blinding people in parking lots. I don't always make those night run long hill climbs on the first try (or sometimes even second...

    Which one u got cb or vhf/uhf

    I have both - Cobra 75wxst on a grab bar mount; and a Yaesu 7900r mounted from my footman loop; CB antenna in the back, and VHF/UHF antenna in the front. I personally prefer VHF/UHF, but still have a lot in our group that have CB only. In Michigan there are a lot of active repeaters on VHF/UHF...

    Two way radio vs. CB

    We wanted to move our group to ham (VHF/UHF), but settled on GMRS for now. Tough to motivate everyone to study and take the test for the license. Technically supposed to have a license for GMRS as well, but there's no test involved. Just apply online with the FCC and fork over the fee (which is...

    Viair 450P- any experience with this one?

    Had the ARB twin on the last jeep; bought the 450p this time around... it hasn't let me down yet, and is still faster than most of the other compressors out there (especially being 100% and not having to give it breaks in between)... but that being said, I really wish I'd just got the ARB twin...

    Stingers?

    Personally, I like the stinger as it's just visible over the hood from the drivers seat - turns into a good reference point for knowing how close I am to something and if I can make a really tight turn or not.
