Yep, the government here gets into pretty much everything. In fact, one thing, but I haven't bothered to confirm this, is when looking for and researching roof rack options, one rack outfitter here in the SF Bay Area told me flat out that in California, the max load allowed on top of a car is...

Though mild right at the present, we did get a decent amount of snow in the Sierra Nevadas recently and it had me thinking as I have heard all sorts of rumors and such about when you should or when you are required to use snow chains on a few of the California highways. I have heard the...

Great video! Need to watch it on my TV and hear it on the big stereo system....always sounds so cool like that!

Hey, Michael! Thanks for all you have done! As users/members, we get the small headaches as Scubasteve said above. We just go through the "bummer, I can't read the forums today" which is pretty insignificant compared to what you do to keep it going...thank you!

Well, it was some time ago, admittedly! It was in 2003, I was in my Jeep GC ZJ along the Carson River at Ft. Churchill. Got ready to leave and no battery! Summer day, so cold not issue here. Anyway, got jumped, headed in to Carson City and pulled in to a Grand Auto/Auto Zone or something like...

Great topic as I'm dealing with a potential battery problem. In researching batteries, I've discovered that I just can't find a battery with high CCA. I used to have a battery that was 1100 CCAs but now I can't find anything larger than 850 for my car. Any ideas on what I should try to find a...

You know, this is kind of interesting. Today marks the 27th commemoration of the 1989 Loma Prieta quake in the SF/Bay Area and this is a kind of timely topic. One of the items you mention was Comm, and I have heard about Ham operators doing tests here in the area for disaster readiness. I'm...

So, the other day I received my Overland Bound emblem in the mail. It's really quite impressive! Looks really cool and has a good amount of weight to it! Now, to figure out where on the car to put it. Seeing as how I can't make up my mind as yet and the fact that for the last several days we've...

Hey, Michael! Something I was thinking about in reading this might work for the "Builder," "Creator" or "Inventor" categories you have there under "Innovator." Maybe a "DIY Project of the Month" type of thing. Each month, members can add a DIY project they did. Each member can only submit one...

That's a great idea! My emblem is arriving soon, and this may be just the right idea...thanks!

Saw the YT video of this...great looking vehicle! Very interesting to me as I have an '06 WK with 5.7 Hemi and Quadra Drive II, as well. I have a project list that I have thought to be rather short, but now I see why. Rack; lift kit; front bar down the road and I should be good for what I need...

Came across this image from the archives...Butte Lake, California back in 2012. It was much higher than 2015, last time I was there, as a result of the drought here in CA.

This is fantastic!

I drive a Jeep and I find this funny! But, regardless of whatever I drive, if I'm doing 80 MPH on either downhill side of Donner Summit (I-80 summit in the Sierras, CA) if all I see in my rear view mirror are these letters: RENILTHGIERF or HTROWNEK thats when I panic!

Not specifically today, but I did a couple things. First, I added some Thule/Yakima tracks to the roof for a roof rack installation. It's been an arduous process trying to figure out the best rack for me in the price range I liked. Now, I considered doing the installation myself, even...

What happened?

Not sure if this is if interest to you, but Lake Alpine, near which are several 4 WD trails; Spicer Meadows Reservoir which is a bit more off the beaten path than Lake Alpine. Haven't been to Spicer yet, but looks like it could be interesting. Also off highway 4 is Corral Hollow, a good 4 WD...

I'm just guessing, but the lack of larger SUVs and trucks could be due to weight & size considerations for some. There are those trails where if your vehicle is too wide or too long, it could cause a problem. But, no matter what you drive, there are so many places to go see. I'm already working...

Very nice! What you have there is where I want mine to go. Couple questions if you don't mind. First, is your roof rack a single/two/three part rack? I have a similar rack that is two pieces but I would like to get extension. This leaves a lot of hangover to the front, forward of the first...
