Ain't it great when a plan works!?!

As already posted, unless you're doing an OEM restore, switching to a Chevy blower motor is a great upgrade to the heater system. A die grinder with a stone bit can open up the hole in the firewall...

In essence, yes. When a snatch block is not used, the winch cable from the pulling (recovery) vehicle is typically attached directly to the pulled (stuck) vehicle. When a snatch block is used, the...

Sounds cool, Oz, but my "camping" days are far behind me! I just turned 70, and my old bones (and other parts) need the creature comforts, like A/C, running water, etc! (g)

Looking good, Oz. I'm not familiar with teardrop trailers. Will this thing have a soft top or a hard top? Will the bunk(s) be built in, or will the trailer be set up for sleeping bags?

Keep in mind that if you use two batteries, they should be of the same type. For example, DO NOT use a starting battery (e.g., Optima Red Top) as one of them and a deep cycle battery (e.g., Optima...

I have the Diamond NR770 antenna on my CJ7. If I remember correctly, it's about 40" long. When I had it mounted so that about 2 feed stuck up over the roof line, I would break it just about every...

Welcome aboard, Redboat!

Welcome aboard, Joe!

My parents had a farm in Washington State for about 15 years in the sixties and early seventies. My mother counted fish in the bowels of Chief Joseph Dam to supplement their...

Welcome back...but it's past bedtime!

Welcome aboard, Joe! I did my 20 in the USN, retiring a little over 30 years ago. I still miss those good times!

How about some pics of your M35

Keep in mind that an increase in antenna structure/height will have a MUCH GREATER effect on your signal as received by others than an increase in power output will. For example, if using a 5-watt...

VHF (30 MHz to 300 MHz) propogation range is esentially line-of-sight, although some refraction (and, to a lesser degree, some reflection) may also tend to increase the distance of propogation. For...

Welcome aboard, Craig!

Thanks for the info! I, too, have grown tired of having to repeatedly buy the book. This sounds like a winner.

Now, if I could just afford to trade in my regular cell (Nokia 5085) for an iPhone,...

Neither one of them is spring mounted. The fiberglass CB antenna is fairly flexible, and the 2-mtr antenna has the whip formed in the shape of a coil for about 2 inches just above the loading...

I can't help with the JK, but most Jeeps will have about the same radiation pattern.

I have a CJ7 that has a Wilderness rear bumper, tire carrier, and cargo rack combination. Don't have pictures,...

First of all, it is not unusual for a suspension lift to accentuate an existing steering problem. Same thing with stabilizer shocks -- new ones may help disguise a steering problem, but they won't...

It sounds like you have covered most of the power supply issues. You spoke of a noise filter; is that filter on the 12-volt supply line? If not, you should get 12-volt filter. BTW, any filters...

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my mom about 10 years ago, about 8 years after my father died. The pain diminishes, but the memories stay.

Welcome aboard!!

I retired from the Navy in 1979 after 20 years service. Hope to see you on the Michigan trails!

Sounds like a good deal to me.
