This is a pretty good conversation about Vehicle Electrics (including batteries)...

That looks amazing! Although, I think I'd prefer being able to take my tools to where the work is. I've been looking at this... http://www.sears.com/craftsman-115-pc-universal-mechanics-tool-set/p-00932821000P ...and then a small Pelican Case with all the misc. stuff (larger sockets, pliers...

Did some preventative maintenance this morning. Flushed the cooling system, and replaced both heater hoses (did I mention that one of them had started to split? ;-)

I picked up one of these... http://store.doomandbloom.net/medical-and-dental-kits/stomp-supreme-trauma-survival-bag/ It's bulky and heavy, so I only take it on more remote trips. I'm still searching for "the ideal" smaller kit.

I just booked a job in LA tomorrow, and I can't make it. Never fails :-( Have fun without me!

I'm driving a '95 ZJ. I don't remember the stock tire size, but I went with 4.56 gears to compensate for my 33" tires. My speedometer is 5mph high at 65 (it reads 70), so I gained a little torque. You can change the little gear at the end of the speedo cable, if you want it to be accurate.

For me, I guess it's part of the "preparedness mindset". At home, I like having a generator and fuel, in case the power goes out. I like having extra food and water in case the stores are closed or empty. Many of the things we carry fall under this same "In case you need it" ethos. Example...

Cool! See you Saturday!

I might be able to swing it!

See you there!!!

Hope you can make it!

Hanging out, bragging, lying, meeting new members,... mostly lying ;-)

Sure!!!

Look forward to meeting you!

Good deal! I'm going right through Dixon. See you around 10:30'ish.
