    Thought this thread was about radios and comms. How'd it get hijacked to become political pissing bitching and moaning about covid? Why not start a new thread where you guys can hurl your crap at each other and those of us looking for discussions on radios and comms can stick with the topic

    How is this possible?

    Point is he didn't let not having a lifted crawler hold him back from going out and enjoying himself. Went with what he had and made it work. Didn't obsess on tire pressure either..."whatevers in there"
