    What was done to your rig this week?

    Installed the BulletPoint RubiGrid and Grab Bar Mounts for a couple of cell phones, my iPad and RadTel RT-495 programmable GMRS handheld radio. The packaging was almost as well thought out as the product. It was an easy install and I'm very satisfied. Still have to install the A pillar mounts...

    Ham radio installed today

    I used the @wayoflife antenna/accessory bed mounts on mine with a Midland antenna. Since I had one on both sides, I checked for ground continuity across the bed between the brackets. I got a good signal on the meter and after checking the resistance at ~3 Ohms, decided to go with a grounded...

    VIDEO : All Terrain Tires that Grapple the Snow

    Woke up to a surprise snowfall at our timber farm in the Central Oregon Coast Range this morning. It's coming down hard, wet and heavy, so maybe I'll get a chance to check out the Nitto Terra Grappler G3s both on road and off today. t

    VIDEO : All Terrain Tires that Grapple the Snow

    Thanks for the advice and to @bobfriesenhahn for the pointer to the @wayoflife video on adjusting the steer stop bolts on JT and JLs. I had 5 315/R70/17 Nitto Terra Grappler G3s installed this past Friday by Discount Tire in Albany, OR and there is a little sway bar rubbing at full lock on both...

    VIDEO : All Terrain Tires that Grapple the Snow

    I agree and that is why I didn't go there right away. That being said, I've had spacers on my JKU with 37s since 2009 and only had to replace service parts at normal intervals. I did replace the front axle with a DynaTrac 44 and re-geared to 5.13, but the spacers never caused any problems I'm...

    Midland MXT275 MICROMOBILE® Two-Way radio

    Hi Sean, No my JT has a Decked Cargo Tray that is beneath the level of the bed rails. However, the Wayalife Antenna/Light Mount sits ahead of the bed, leaving the bed rails clear all the way around. I'll post some detailed pictures in a day or so that might help you decide.

    Installing the WAYALIFE ACC Bar in my 2023 Sport S Gladiator A few of the many things I like about Eddie and Cindy are their willingness to clearly share their knowledge and experience with all of us, from noobs to the very experienced, in such a way that I am motivated to continuously improve...

    Midland MXT275 MICROMOBILE® Two-Way radio
