GRUNT

The Jeep has some mystery chattering and most likely a lifter tick from sitting, so she is staying home until I can diagnose it. I am still coming but will be in a 1979 Blazer. It has 3 CB radios in it. So, if anyone needs to talk to someone 35 years ago, I am your guy. @theksmith I tried messaging you on both lines. I will have my HAM Bofeung radio tomorrow. You had mentioned to let you know so you can zap it with GMRS channel.

I will gladly take it off of your hands, sir. I will make arrangements in the future to come get it. Thank you.

The base. It peeled back from the rear as I backed out. I thought about trying to remove it, bend it back and then tack weld it for now but on closer inspection, it looks like pot metal or aluminum. I will need to remove it and will get a better idea if I can. There was a guy in the east valley selling one, but I was on duty and it was sold before I could go pick it up.

For those of us catching up to technology, does your GPX file transfer into one Off-road, sir? EDIT: It does. Thank you

We have to fight for scraps seeing how we are the last two YJs on earth… Or at least in this club.

Looking for news you driver’s side mirror/arm for a 93 YJ to replace the one I damaged driving my Jeep through the RV gate. :( Thanks, AB

Looking for two Jeep YJ steel wheels, but will take one if that is all you have. Thanks, AB

I have been having (suspected) problems with my OfferUp account. For the last several months I have been sending messages and offers to other account holders and have received ZERO replies. I have logged out and back in, and even uninstalled and reinstalled. If you have an OfferUp account and even better yet, something for sale, would you kindly let me know what your account name is so I may send you a test message? I know this sounds silly but I have had no resolution using their “help/feedback” and am quite frustrated. Thanks, AB

I can. How much and what kinds?

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Please put me down for the easy ride, party of one!

She is all reregistered with MVD as of this morning. Good for 5 years so now let’s hit the dirt!

May I pose an electrical question? I have seen some posts regarding winch wiring discuss using high amp fuses, solenoids, and circuit breakers to protect against melting the battery or winch fires, etc. My question is, if the max draw from the winch motor is 435 amps, would that trip circuit breakers, fuses, etc. that are of less amperage? I do not understand electrical wiring as much as I would like to. BATT—————C/B—————FUSE——————-Winch Also, some people put a large amp fuses in their system to protect the battery. Is that need negated by the use of a circuit breaker or would it be another layer of protection? I have found a manufactured winch isolating switch that we ordered for his 2008 JK due to a draw from his Bulldog winch that has historically killed his batteries. BATT—————SWITCH——-——C/B——————-Winch I am thinking I might like something like this in my system since it might sit for weeks at a time in the future. BATT—————SWITCH—-———C/B—————FUSE——————-Winch

Thanks for the excellent advice, sir. My father and I went out on a Sunday morning drive to NAPA and purchased 50A circuit breakers for both of our Jeeps. We were planning on some light father and son wrenching today, but the weather up here dropped and we started to get some freezing rain. The garage is quite cold now. May have to wait until tomorrow. 😜

Okay, I just read this article: https://strykerradios.com/ham-radios/gmrs-vs-ham-radio-which-should-i-choose/#:~:text=In fact%2C GMRS radios can,to the 70 cm band. What radios are you guys running and if it is GMRS, do you use a frequency/channel that HAMs in the group can communicate with you?
