    Diesel JLUR

    Once I received the antenna mount for my cb I got to work mounting it. The jeep HD tire mount has a hole but its to thick for the mount. so I think it would be a great mount for a flag! I still have to mount my Ham radio and I'm still mulling over where to install it. I have an antenna mount...

    Dad’s- how did you find time to build your rig and not destroy your marriage?

    if you get your kids involved at an early age so they like to help with the work then when they are getting on moms nerves you just say hey kids lets go play in the garage! Mom loves you for giving her alone time!

    Jeep Wrangler JL/JT EcoDiesel discussion; 2nd Gen engine with fixes?

    supposedly the 8sp in the 2.0/3.6 and the 8sp in the diesel are two different gear boxes... they have different order numbers and the 2.0/3.6 costs more.

    Jeep Wrangler JL/JT EcoDiesel discussion; 2nd Gen engine with fixes?

    they must have figured out a work around if they can't sell one with an open recall... I decided on the diesel due to most the wheeling I do I tow my trailer down there to stay in. also my drive to work is from Layton to Evanston (75miles one way) and figured if I got 25-27 mpg that wouldn't be...

    Announcing the RME on-air ham radio net

    seeing I work in Evanston and there is no digipeater or I-gate there I looked to see what it would take to build my own.
