    Did anyone jump on the Motobilt Crusher limited production front bumper order?

    Do you have any idea how many opportunities you may have missed out on to become a millionaire? Or how many hot singles in your area you've probably left waiting for you? In all seriousness, I'm no longer up on the tech stuff like I once was. These days I constantly fight spam emails and robo...

    Did anyone jump on the Motobilt Crusher limited production front bumper order?

    Serious question: how would you know? 😂 It could literally be happening a dozen times a day. If you're not specifically expecting an email, and don't have a spam folder, how would you know you're "not getting" the email? I mean, if you're not seeing it, you obviously didn't get it.... But you...

    Abbree AR-8118 GMRS radio

    I just have mine wired straight to the battery. This is how I've always wired all of my radios, as some specifically require this method. The only time I've ever had a radio kill my battery was when I left a 100w vhf radio on by accident for 2 or 3 days on my truck that had an already kind of...

    Does this look like it could work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/366650583767?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5337789113&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

    Any reason not to just make your own cable? https://www.reddit.com/r/gmrs/s/wib2qL8GB2

    What did you do to your other vehicle today?

    Absolutely this. While in some regards I'm a bit of a purist (there's a time a d place for this), I love customizing vehicles to make them my own and a bit unique. Not everyone always likes it, but i don't care as long as I like it. I'm also a big subscriber to the less is more train of thought...

    Calling Zorba

    I can't find any pics of the backside/arm & mount configuration, but here's my setup. I can adjust it closer or further away, up or down. Pretty solid with only a little bounciness in rough conditions. This particular configuration is pretty much perfect for my seating position. In fairness...

    I'm right there with you. While I'm not a chrome fan anyway, I think those trucks look great with the white bumper.

    In that case, set DTC/DCS codes for a frequency for you and your buddy/group/whoever you're talking to. Everyone on that channel can still hear you, but you won't hear them unless they also turn on the same DTC/DCS code. I have a few different channels set up for different people/purposes with...

    Abbree AR-8118 GMRS radio

    If only it were that simple bub... Ya see, aside from my personal hangups about it, most of my friends are dumber than a bag of hammers. I can NOT rely on them to understand or remember frequencies or channel numbers. It needs words. What it really needs for that issue is everything to be drawn...

    Abbree AR-8118 GMRS radio

    I ran a non amplified speaker on one of mine once. Just relocating the speaker by itself was beneficial, but i prefer amplified. If you only use it on trails and don't run your stereo, it's probably not worth the trouble and money. That does remind me, however, that I used a male-male aux cord...

    When it comes to GMRS comms, a good antenna will do more for you than more wattage. The Kenwood I'm running in my jeep is only 25w, but with a Midland MXTA26 antenna (which isn't even a fantastic antenna, but a good one) on a Teraflex mount, I get out and receive as well as I could ever expect...

    A lesson learned—keep it light and nimble!

    Ah, ok. At first I was about to compliment you for your BOSS-level OCD fueled cleaning skills. But then I saw the driver side wheel and was like wait, that's not it 😂

    Nashville TJ's Build - Continued

    A well deserved compliment. That thing is remarkable. I appreciate the attention to detail with every thing you do to it. And about the LS comment, I was only a little bit serious. Ok, more than a little I guess. I was 100% serious.

    Is your passenger side brake caliper even connected to a brake line? That wheel is CLEAN clean!
