    CB Radio (merged thread)

    Wow! I got my first license when I was 14. I think there was a 5$ fee for the examiner. Maybe another $5 or $10 dollar fee for a 5 year license. I didn't join a club until we moved to Alaska. I think the annual membership dues were $20, but had nothing to do with my federally issued...

    "Survival"/ gun questions.

    I disabled the onboard text editor for this forum due to the insistance of the auto (in)correct to not only chnage the spelling but entire meaning of some of my posts. Very dangerous... 8>D

    "Survival"/ gun questions.

    When I lived in Alaska, my first firearm was a Mossberg 500. When in the bush, it was loaded with 00Buck and slugs in alternation. I found that many times in camp I would put it down somewhere and be a good distance from it. If a bear had popped into camp it would have been 50/50 if I could...

    RADIO?

    I would say get a CB and FRS/GMRS capable radios. CBs have been the vehicle comm of choice for over 50 years. It is still effective on the highways for traffic alerts from truckers and rig to rig communications. FRS/GMRS radios offer higher quality voice comms at a reasonable price. I carry...

    Thoughts and reasons for your chosen rig

    Actually, my rig picked me. I had always had large vehicles. Station wagons ( My first was a 1967 Rambler Rebel Wagon, then a Dodge Coronet Wagon, a Kingswood Estate wagon, 76 Suburban, 80 Suburban, Safari Van). After the van blew a freeze plug, under the flywheel, I bought my first small...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Changed the front hub bearing assemblies on both sides. That got rid of some of the noise I was hearing and all of the wobble I had between 40 and 45 mph. Still tracking down some additional gear-like noise that goes up and down with speed. May be the front differential, though I won't...

    Big Tuna Presents: Pegasus Rising

    I had the A/C compressor and clutch replaced last Tuesday. I had been without A/C since last fall when the clutch gave up the ghost. A few weeks ago It started getting noisy and I knew the clutch bearing was giving out. A clutch was 60% of the cost of a new compressor, and it was quit...

    Humming noise

    Hub bearings. I just ordered new hub bearing assemblies for my WJ. Got the same noise. Will get louder as you put more miles on it.

    War Machine: The Silver 01 Jeep Wj

    Everything I found on the vacuum and cruise issue, the drivers had a cruise light but it wouldn't engage. My cruise light isn't turning on at all, though it worked on the way up on Friday. Also, holding the button has a direct affect on TPS voltage. I measured at the TPS connector and at idle...
