    Emblem removal

    I've found it's easier to use the fishing line/floss behind the emblem before heat. You're essentially cutting down the middle of the foam tape. After that apply heat to get the rest of the residue off. Applying the heat first in my experience can warp the badge and doesn't actually make the...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Been a while since I've ordered anything, unfortunately it's been parked for the better part of the last two months. Wheels were the last thing to go on prior to that, and the next thing to go (in) will be an upgraded radiator, weather stripping, and a different set of wheels because why not.

    New from Portland, OR

    Decided to take the plunge and buy a rig I've wanted for a while - a 1989 Mitsubishi Delica. It's on a delivery truck from the east coast now and will (crossing my fingers) be delivered this upcoming weekend. It's been a long time since I've done any overlanding. When we were kids, and...

    Why ham radio vs cb radio??

    As an addendum, The FRS/GMRS communication channels are illegal to use with a HAM as they can put out 50-100x the power of FRS/GMRS radios. Lots of people do it, and the odds of being busted are incredibly slim. But it's worth mentioning.
