Where'd you buy a 2001 XJ for $3000?! That would be 10k anywhere else. :) HAHAHA people may think it's worth 10 grand from the craigslist prices that I see. I bought it for $3500 in 2014 with 112k miles on it from a friend-of-a-friend's father-in-law. Pretty good deal for PA as it had zero rust (sn...

Updates: Officially leaving for Canada at the end of this month. Trying to make the 4000 miles in 5 days. Also, took the Harbor Freight cargo rack back. Never buy a "flip up" version as it bounces like crazy. Got a solid version to haul some gear. Also, I receiver tightener is a great invention. Co...

Because of the wavelengths involved with broadcast band (both AM and FM) radio you really can't compare them well to CB. The frequencies are too far apart to have more than very general characteristics in common. There's a lot of other differences between the two that make it a poor comparison. The...

I would take a look at the Ed Fong antennas for GMRS. Should do much better than your current antenna, but will require you to hoist them in the air. While they are made for GMRS rx/tx, I bet they would also improve AM/FM. Swap for the shorty when on the move. I might Google around for solutions to...

Everything I know about omni-directional antennas says "shorter = less good" until you reach a certain point with respect to the length of the radio wave you are trying to capture. I think you are seeing that fact played out in the antennas you are looking at. Now, it sounds like you ALSO have ques...

Just looking for a stock replacement mast (Hopefully shorter.) that screws into my Jeep Wrangler TJ's antenna mount. I think it's the standard thread pattern. Something like this. But that will improve the gain of my radio - to the degree that it's worth the extra money? Is this not possible? I'm no...

Well, to be honest, I hate the 9x19mm and the jam prone AR15/M16 (the U.S. military claims to have fixed the jam issues with every iteration, yet at gen 4 it still is a jam prone rifle/carbine platform, and the M855.SS109 rounds punch a narrow, little, thru and thru .22 caliber hole that requires m...

Man, that's a thinker. I guess an high quality AKM with a folding stock, LED tac light and laser sight combo if the scenario is full on WROL, a Glock 21 with laser and light combo on the accessory rails if there is still a military/National Guard presence. And plenty of high capacity mags for both....

there is an app called "Offline Survival Manual" that would fit the bill for his phone. Yes. I can get several. The original idea was a survival/first aid kit for a SHTF event. So the printed book was my goal. Or small printed material. In the case of power and cell outage. But I like the idea of a...

Why not just load some stuff on his phone and then give him a back up lithium battery for the phone?

Good idea!

These are the instructions made by Doug Ritter for the pocket survival pak: http://www.dougritter.com/psp_survival_instructions_0206.pdf Thank you. I'll add that to my files. I ended up fitting an SAS survival manual in the kit. He hasn't had to use it yet. But he's used several of the medications ...

"Trancia"? Looks like a low-quality knock-off of Trangia.

I'm sure it's a misspelling. They are too scratched up and worn to be knockoffs. This is my local surplus store. I'd say they are legit. I mean I'm sure it's Sweden's version of one.

So I finally found a transmission shop I could trust. My main mechanic hooked me up with a friend of his that owns a transmission shop. So I find out tomorrow if it's a $300 sensor or a $1200 rebuild. Those prices are very low - for here anyway. I would imagine most shops around here charging at lea...

The only other issue I have is a P0743 code and a check engine light. It's an auto trans code. May just need a sensor or rebuilt. Kind of freaked out about it. As I had it inspected at the dealership before I bought it. And they showed no problem with the trans except it needed a fluid change. Thin...

And please, don't get angry eyes. please. This. 1,000x this. I know. Those are the stupidest things ever. It just says "I'm a dumbass.". I'll either go with those Grabbers. Or BFG's. Or I might go with Yokohamas. Yokohamas are highly rated for quiet on the road. And this is a DD. I'm also putting d...
