Like Paul said, cotton if you're a fire fighter.

I'd give GMRS a try. Radios are fairly inexpensive and all you have to do is pay $35 to be legal. May work okay for you or may not. You probably should be carrying some type of satellite device just in case of an emergency. Around here we have a plethora of 2m repeaters. You can usually hit...

The FCC site is not the most user friendly. Start with getting your FRN. https://www.fcc.gov/wireless/support/knowledge-base/universal-licensing-system-uls-resources/getting-fcc-registration

Our wants and needs are so different from another this is a difficult ask. For instance I consider a heater a must have. For others its not. Only you know for sure.

Yes, he could have edited it down and to me the most scary part was deep into it when he showed how the bumper had been bent. Tells me that if anything more than a gentle tug doesn't work its time to get out the winch.

I'm relatively new to using soft shackles so this is great info. I've done the same thing as far as go go go. Been yanked and done the yanking many times and this is huge reminder to Slow Down. Assess the situation. Coincidentally I just dumped out my trauma kit, tossed a bunch of stuff and...

My new Jeep has some Baja Design light and they are very impressive. Maybe KC's are good now but I still remember back in the day when every Daylighter you saw was rusty.

Its going to be nice to have functional defrost :)

Decided to get a nice new 2004 (compared to my 60 year old CJ) TJ and just wondering what others who have done similar have experienced. Other than being able to drive on the freeway I'm not expecting a whole lot of difference cept maybe having ac now :)

I guess I hit it just right when I visited.

I use the ones that slip over the dogs head. Full 360 degrees of light. USB rechargeable. Seven bucks on ebay or twenty at your local dog store. Comes in many colors. Pretty much a requirement for a black dog.

I love these cars that make so much noise it startles me but then I notice "hey, for all that noise it sure didn't go very fast".
