Good seeing you again Lance. Like Lance I'm an amputee but it's my right leg and above the knee, it's only been 13 years since I had it cut off. Being an amp does cut down on being able to do some things but I can usually just find a way to suck it up and do it.

The negative wire is a ground for the switch it has a light in it.

All the wenches I've known were 100% waterproof and all the winches I've had were waterproof too.

My trailer isn't very pretty or fancy but it's worked just fine for me for 25 years or so and is still a work in progress. I have the same wheels and tires on it as I do on my Willys. That way when I'm pulling my trailer I have 2 spares in the Willys and one on the trailer. As the tires wear...

How long is the rope?

I agree with most of what you said but I am curious about what you call "an open chamber". In my time in the military, working with the Feds, or as an instructor I have never heard of that.

I live in northern AZ and have a lot of mud/snow/ice to contend with also. I am running Duratracs too and when they pack up a little all I do is throttle up a little and they clean right out. Have you tried that with yours?

Sounds like you're on the way to solving your GMRS/CB problem. One thing I'd like to add is when ever I add a radio to my rig I fuse both the positive AND negative wires to it. It's something I learned from several HAMS and guys that install radio equipment for a living. Since I've done that...

If you're talking to me, I joined both clubs. The "snotty boy" club I just like to sit in the meetings and ask questions and offer suggestions the other club a bunch of us have taken over and made it a friendly place and welcoming to newcomers and visitors.

Good looking Bronco!

As a kid I wanted fast cars but even though I had 4 jobs I didn't have much money. So I hung around the gas station I worked at and helped wash parts, pack bearings, did oil changes and grease jobs and learned how to do things. I "worked" at a speed shop for free and in return got advice, help...

So far other than tire mounting I've done all the work on my Willys.

What barriers are you talking about? The main one I've noticed is in the local clubs. One of them is cool and everyone gets along and wants to do fun stuff with radios. The other is mostly older Hams that are "too cool for school" and pretty snobby and hard to get along with.

I replace them every 4-7 years as the new ones come out or they wear out from use. Just noticed where you are, got wind Matt? ;)

I agree and I don't, I have a couple of compasses and at least 1 GPS with me when I go out.

LOL, the odds of a GPS not working for me is way higher than either of the poles messing up my compass while I'm driving my Willys.

Having never done this I'm curious on how to return a fuel container with vapor in it. Ship it ground or?

Thanks for the offer! What about Stink Bugs, 7th, 8th or T-38's?

Welcome, glad you're here, the new guy buys cigars! At HO, Stink Bugs?

Nice shotgun! I'm a big fan of the 10mm, how do you like your Glock 20? I
