Howdy... I'm JP... Heard quite a bit about your rig from Dave, Mark and Justin... Was hoping to come across you somewhere. Why don't you come wheel with some of the groups in the area? Remember Dave mentioning a guy on this 3rd skid? That's me! LoL. For starters, we have a small group of...

PS... I have both the ARRL 'General' an 'Amateur Extra' study guides I'll sell ya very cheap! :)

CONGRATS on passing the test! I took mine just before Thanksgiving, then decided to punish myself by taking the General in December, then destroying my brain studying for the Extra exam in January. The Yaesu FT-857D is a great rig from what I hear (wanting to pick one up) but you'll need your...

Suspension consideratations As many of you know, I swapped out my rear springs immediately after getting the new bumper. I'll do my best to detail the reasoning. Before the new rear bumper, I ran Shrockworks front bumper (and winch), full skids, rock rails, and Gobi's roof rack and ladder...

I personally didn't wire them with the backup lights... I used a separate switch.

I run 285/70 R17... It's in the pics.

Did you see my solution for a new rear camera? Actually, the receiver is a fabricated. It's actually stronger than factory :)

More about the factory spare tire mounting Hey all... a few last thoughts about the factory spare tire mount. I know that Justin mentioned that it can remain intact. (In my case, we used bolt cutters to cut off the dangling chain.) BUT... then it dawned on me... it has to be raised and...

More pics... Hey all... here are a few more pictures. This time, we have the rig configured with dual jerry cans and have also mounted the receiver. Also... someone had asked to see a full profile shot. It's rather hard to see both bumpers. I think this one is about as good as it...
