I went groveling back to Garmin. I stumped up for a overlander.
It’s huge. I put a ram mount that holds it tight.

Ahh man got caught. It’s a video op. I need a new sticker. Note the go pro mount on the edge of the TC skid. Did that back when I was a new TJ owner. My apologies. I will fix it and post correction.Pretty sure this pic violates forum rules and results in a suspension until the offense is rectified. I'll leave it to @Chris to arbitrate this....
See ya there bud, gonna wash mine Friday where it will be nice and clean!!!!!
Move to CT with no state inspections, higher taxes and no weird smells.
Do you have forum decals to buy? I need one.At least he put it where it belongs, on the underside
I know you from some other forum. I just can't think of the name of it.I need a new sticker. Did that back when I was a new TJ owner. My apologies. I will fix it and post correction.
Anywhere but CT. One big line of traffic.Move to CT with no state inspections, higher taxes and no weird smells.
Can you guys not licence/register a TJ in a non inspection state and just use it without inspection in another state that requires inspection? We can in OZMove to CT with no state inspections, higher taxes and no weird smells.

I've got my 6 monthly one due this Friday......always a roll of the dice with my TJ.Can you guys not licence/register a TJ in a non inspection state and just use it without inspection in another state that requires inspection? We can in OZ
I moved from there long ago. Va sucks too.
You can, if you have an actual residence in another state. DMV is worse than cops here and they can revoke your license without going to court.Can you guys not licence/register a TJ in a non inspection state and just use it without inspection in another state that requires inspection? We can in OZ
p.s. I know the laws in Va very well. My first 10 years with a license, I lost it for 7.5 years. I drove daily anyway.

My brother was an interstate road train driver and has loads of people who live at his house "Not" lol They get a west australian licence and when they loose there interstate licence they drive on the west australian one! also the yearly tax is cheaper here so they can run West australian plates even though they operate in another state. They dont live in west australia because the speed is 3 times the price and harder to get!
What do they actually check and do different places check different stuff?I've got my 6 monthly one due this Friday......always a roll of the dice with my TJ.
Australia is the only place I'd like to visit IF Covid is ever "in check". All other places don't interest me. Must be the "most venomous snake species on earth" thing. With my luck, I'll be drinking a PBR, get bit and die talking to Fishtaco, before I can ask him if England or Australia is better.My brother was an interstate road train driver and has loads of people who live at his house "Not" lol They get a west australian licence and when they loose there interstate licence they drive on the west australian one! also the yearly tax is cheaper here so they can run West australian plates even though they operate in another state.

Quite a few things...and its a set standard across the country..... this is a brief list below. but they get under the car and check things thoroughly.
Takes about 30 mins. anything older than 2000 (I think) needs a 6 monthly check. new cars can be a year or every 2 years.
If it fails you cant get insurance and cops will ticket you as its not aloud on the road.
My Jeep failed once because I had a standard bulb and Led in the same H4 headlight housing ...stupid crap like that.
What gets checked?
- Tyre condition (including tread depth)
- Brake operation...and test
- Structural condition (rust or other damage isn't allowed in certain areas)
- Lights (are all bulbs working and are your headlights aligned?)
- Glazing (is your windscreen safe and clear?)
- Windscreen washers and wipers (do they work and are they clean?)
- Doors (are they secure and do they open and close safely?)
- Safety belts (must not be faded or damaged; buckles must work properly)
- Airbags, anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control
- Speedometer (must be working)
- Steering and suspension (must be safe, secure and effective)
- Exhaust (there must be no leaks and the exhaust must not be too loud or smokey)
- Fuel system (there must be no leaks)
We have Zero checks in west australia, I think its the only state? you have to get pulled over by Mr plod or a scaley and given a non compliance where you have 4 weeks to go to an inspection centre where they check everything with a fine tooth comb, "Yellow Licky"
Its a yellow sticker they put on your windshield.

Most aussies have never ever seen a snake! but they start coming out of hibernation in October for the sun and mostly slither away from people!Australia is the only place I'd like to visit IF Covid is ever "in check".

Perth is a secret! Its a bit like living in USA, We copied a lot of it! Most people who come here dont want to leave!
Its been likened to a CA Hollywood dream factory in the 1950,s for lifestyle, even our malls look like US malls!
We still have "Zero Covid 19" and zero restrictions, go figure? You can go to work in shorts during winter and 90% of the population live less than 5 miles from a clear white sandy un crowded beach and even closer to a pristine river but it gets a bit boring having a 7 month Summer.
Visiting US Navy Fleet have their hands full with the amount of Sailors and even marines who "jump Ship" every visit
Doesn't take that much to melt the connectors.
Installed a set of 100/800 bulbs in an IPF housing installed in one of my JKs... Melted the three pin connectors in less than a week.
