    Trasharoo with out a tire carrier?

    I have a Grand Cherokee which also has no rear tire carrier or other brackets on which to mount my Trasharoo. I simply strap it over the lift gate and it sits just above the rear bumper and extends slightly up into the rear window view. As many times as I've done this, I've not noticed any...

    2M Antenna Recommendations?

    I just ordered a NAGOYA SP-40H Dual Band that I will also be mounting on the bull bar. I chose this one because it's one of the few I've found with a spring. It's only about 17 inches tall and doesn't require a ground plane. It's relatively low gain (2/3.5 dBi on 2m/70cm), but that's perfect...

    MAXTRAX vs Smittybilt Element traction devices

    American options include the MAXSA Innovations 20333 Escaper Buddy. I bought mine on Amazon for about half the price of MaxTrax. They are extremely durable and very well made.

    Any good solutions for two radios on one external speaker?

    Are you talking audio or communications? If for example you are looking to connect the external speaker port from both a CB and a VHF radio together into one speaker, you will need to install an "A/B" switch in the speaker such that you are only broadcasting one radio at a time. If you run...

    Camp shower idea

    I've never used this as a camp shower, but it could easily be adapted. I do a lot of dry-camping where I fill 6-gal water cans at the ranger station and hall them to the camper in the back of the truck. The tank in the camper holds 26-gals which is just over four jerry cans. 6-gals of water...
