    Switching to GMRS - Antenna grounding, choice, mounting, and more questions.. please help!

    I believe the GMRS antenna gets its ground from the radio through its coax. Probably why the tech said it wasn't a problem. The amount of metal the antenna is surrounded by (ground plane) is a reflector and receiver of the signal transmitted by yourself and others. Therefore, if you wish to...

    Air Bags

    I am looking for a bolt on kit vs fab work. No sway bar and no plans to put one on unless there is something I don't know. I thought the air bags would help with some sway. When driving it home with 25 mph crosswinds it did ok. I did not get hardly any sway.

    Trailer tires at vs mud

    So I picked up a cheap $200 trailer to haul the extra gear when the wife comes along. I repacked the bearings and selected some procomp rims 15x8, since the current ones don't match each other. I was just wondering if anyone has noticed a difference between MT tires and AT tires on the trail...

    Ok, bought son an 89 Jeep Cherokee Laredo, 5-speed. Here we go, need tires suggestions, lift inches, tire size, etc. We are in Ca, so most travel will be in the mountains, at the beach, and on the road. Ready to spend about $1000 in up-grades, start shopping friends! :)
