It was oregano officer. A zip lock bag of oregano. I'm Italian. Making Pizza. But before you stopped me the bag accidentally flew open and blew all over the road. So it's empty now. Or at least less than 1 oz of prime Californian Oregano.

"With great power comes great responsibility." Seems to be true for radios as well. The electromagnetic spectrum is a finite resource (like our public land trail system). Lots of people use it and we need to "tread lightly" on the radio spectrum just like on the land. If we all go FULL POWER we...

This has been an interesting and complex topic. The more I read, the more I learn. TL:DR = buy the same radios as your buddies are already using. Don't use more power than needed. LONG ANSWER: "With great power comes great responsibility." Seems to be true for radios as well. The...

Yes. I can confidently say that prior to TPMS we all just aired up our tires when we noticed they were low. The general population didn't realize that you can't see any sidewall flex until you are WAY lower than optimum. Largely because the tire people have done a great job designing...

The main benefit of TPMS is letting you know your pressure is low. I work in the tire and rubber industry. You burn significantly more gas when your tires are 10% low. but you can't tell with your eyes until they are 25% low. TPMS helps you know BEFORE you can see it - which will improve your...

Since you're a rigger I have a couple of technical questions. Steel shackle attached to a fabric rope loop. - my concern is abrasion of the fabric as it moves against the steel. Not really an issue for a straight pull - but how many pulls are straight vs. yawing back and forth? How concerned...

Yes - the riggers at a chem plant are highly trained and recertified every year. They also don't try to get close and take video for their instagram and facebook feeds. My soft shackles are rated at 24,200 lbs for the 3/8" and 38,000 lbs for the 7/16" I don't buy gear that isn't rated. I...

Ummm the sig line from WJCO links to another forum methinks? lol "Support the JL forum: JLWRANGLER.COM"

I've noticed some folks getting torqued about "reviving an old thread." Newbies (and old-bees) use Google which finds these old threads and often they are EXTREMELY valuable. I've learned a huge amount about brake lock differentials from JK threads that are 10 years old. BLD was new back then...

BLD (brake lock differential) is on ALL THE TIME. - for exactly the reason you mentioned - a tire in the air with open diffs ABS (antilock brakes) and ESC (electronic stability control) are turned off when in 4lo in a jeep. Note - BLD uses the individual wheel speed sensors plus the ABS...

Life is too short to get torqued over the little things like forum posts. I work in a refinery. I'm a licensed professional engineer. Rigging safety is a very big deal so yeah, I will make a comment to encourage a safer approach - especially since most folks reading this are NOT trained...

read this awhile back and it provides a good explanation: from JEEP corporate engineering https://blog.stellantisnorthamerica.com/2008/02/11/jeep-brake-traction-control-explained/

OPEN DIFFERENTIAL - allows your tires to spin at different speeds which is important if you want to turn a corner. Torque goes to the wheel with the LEAST amount of traction, and the other wheel gets the same amount of torque. Thus, if you are spinning the left wheel, there is very little...

Jeff is correct. Please don't connect two straps with a D ring. You don't want metal projectiles. Buy a soft shackle. Or learn your boy scout or sailing knots and use a bit of rope (hopefully you know the breaking strength of all your gear).

I actually didn't have a problem putting the windows in the back of my 2 door JL because of the way the windows and the bag are designed. You can rotate the thick side pieces about 4 inches without bending the sliding parts. I'll post a pic later. But I did the rotation to get it into the...

Fellow Photog here. Being able to pop open the top gives options you just can't get in any other vehicle. In a jeep you can open the sunrider top and stand up. This let's you quickly get the shot. No waiting to get out of the vehicle, then walk around to the other side. Brace yourself and...
