    Qjet

    I don't know how much you know about Rochester Quadra-Jets, but for off-road use their primary advantage is that they have a small footprint, centrally located fuel bowl. No matter how you tilt the carb it is hard to uncover the jets in the fuel bowl. For street use their primary venturis are...

    My Always “Almost Finished” 22 Badlands

    Some many years ago I was down in Trukhaven Hills for New Years sitting around a campfire with a buncha jeep drivers. One of them had gotten his half-cab CJ7 on the cover of 4WD & Sport Utility (called it "HalfBreed" if you care) and someone asked him if it was done now that it had made a...

    D44 TTB 8 lug with a rear D60 and large disc brake conversions

    IT moved! Under it's own power even. Just not in time to make it to BBBB. Unfortunately. Still badly needs an alignment before its safe to drive very far.

    Radio Frequencies

    What I did was download the program from the radio. I then modified it in CHiRP and gave it a new name. Then I up loaded it back into the radio. Mine seemed to need to have the program down loaded before it could accept an up load. Can always listen on the Weatherman freq., but if you perform...

    Calico Wheeling on Memorial Day weekend

    That loop is on old maps as the "Doran Scenic Loop." It used to be paved all the way around. I don't think that the current AAA County map lists it, but earlier versions did. That is why there is the pavement 'shelf' in the slot obstacle near the top of Odessa Canyon and fragments of it...

    D44 TTB 8 lug with a rear D60 and large disc brake conversions

    It's almost all back together. Waiting on a replacement reservoir mount. The shocks each came with one and they were carefully removed from the boxes and stashed in the same place, but one is AWOL and that is stopping me from finishing things up and trying to drive it with the vacuum booster. I...

    Must Have's

    It took me a bit to realize that the radio kit linked above has a battery with a direct charging jack, and that is where the supplied USB cord plugs into. It fits nowhere else. It took programming from CHiRP just fine, and it also allowed the TX mod on the first try. I think that I'll use it in...

    Must Have's

    CHiRP: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home Programming cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HUB0ONK/ $22.49 This would be what I would buy were I in the market today: https://www.amazon.com/BAOFENG-Portable-Rechargeable-Handheld-Extended/dp/B07VVG726G/ $32.19 It comes with an...

    Let's Talk Compressors

    This is the closest thing to the fabled MV-50 / MV1050 that I found out there: https://www.amazon.com/GSPSCN-Portable-Compressor-Inflator-Inflatables/dp/B07MMGLNHC/ Note that it is 72 L/min vs. Dusty's suggestion at 300 L/min. I'm using a 100% duty cycle Puma PD1006 in the 4rnnr, something...

    Must Have's

    Just stumbled onto this and thought that I'd share it. No experience with this business, so please share your experience if you do buy from them. Their deflator looks to be a clone of the ARB deflator. https://jacosuperiorproducts.com/collections/air-down-tire-deflators

    Radio Frequencies

    This $20 3800 mAHr LiPO battery is what I was suggesting and it fits both radios. https://www.amazon.com/BTECH-BL-5L-Battery-Capacity-BL-5/dp/B07QXT5Z2R/

    Radio Frequencies

    Arrowbear, your link goes to the HT ("Handi-Talkie") radio model that I use as loaners. If you buy the large battery for them you should be able to get a weekend out of it easy so long as it gets turned off each evening. In Big Bear it's hard to get spread out enough for it to matter, but in...

    Bronco Super Celebration - Nevada - Oct 4-7, 2023

    That's big park right in the middle of Carson City. Not far from downtown. I'll suggest this place as a must do for lunch or dinner should anyone go: http://www.reds395.com/ And those of you with little ones, this is an almost magical place for them: https://www.cmnn.org/ Calling it a...

    Big Bear Bronco Bash XXII - Overview

    Given that it's a Rugged I expect that it has been programed by them and is not easily reprogrammed without some special gear. It likely has desert race freqs in it, but unless it will display them there's no way of knowing what they are. Rugged can likely tell the owner what they are, but they...

    DP's and California "Heavy-Duty Inspection and Maintenance Program"

    CARB is an Autocracy, not a bureaucracy. Don't get me started. I'm looking at property in other States. Buy it now before I retire and have it paid off when I do.

    D44 TTB 8 lug with a rear D60 and large disc brake conversions

    On the last go-round I didn't take any pics of the GM 8 lug parts being assembled to the 6 hole TTB knuckles. So this time I did. The modified 6 hole knuckle, caliper brackets removed and ground smooth: The crucial second set of holes drilled in the caliper bracket that clocks the caliper...
