All my life I have been a Completist, although until recently I did not know it had a title. When I buy something, I start looking at accessories and add-ons for whatever I just purchased. Vehicle, electronics, firearms, whatever. I have to "complete" the collection of everything I own. I...

Looks like I may have missed the tent camping season here in my part of Texas. We really only have a short window to camp without being covered in sweat. The heat and humidity here is astounding. Nothing is worse then walking into your tent and it smells like the losing football team's locker...

Feel free to use my response to my wife whenever I say odd things: Her: What's it like in your world ?? Me: It's a happy place and I'm the King. We've been together since 1988, married since 1991. You'd think she'd stop asking that by now, but nope.

Hopefully you won't need to relay through a repeater; some require a callsign to go through. And you can't just make up one, every callsign is searchable by anyone. Repeaters are owned by someone or a club, they make the rules. You can't transmit that far without going through several...

That's the reason I decided to get the GMRS license; I didn't want to be #1 Guy Busted. Likely ? No. But I got luck like that... I've always said that if I was in a crowd of 200 people at the beach and a lone seagull flew over; he'd crap on me. I'm doing an online training course for my HAM...

Since my Bulletpoint mount now has a radio clip, I decided to get a couple GMRS radios (okay, that was my excuse to buy another toy....). I already have 2 HAM radios and I am currently doing the online course for my amateur license, basically something to learn and to occupy my mind...and I can...

:LOL: I have the same T shirt, also. Except I didn't get mine at Buc-ee's (a mainstay here in Texas and one down the street from me), I got mine in Pigeon Forge, TN when my wife and I did a Pink Jeep Tour last year. Buc-ee's does have an amazing amount of Jeep gear for sure. My wife has...

Back on topic - I installed my new-to-me Bulletpoint RubiGrid Mounting System. Rock solid and well worth the 50 bucks ( :) ). I have 2 cell phone mounts, action camera mount, hand radio mount. The mount arms are in blue, matching my Jeep. Awesome set-up, top of the line !! But (there's...

My wife's old boss retired a few years back and her husband retired at the same time. They bought 38 acres out by LaGrange (yeah, the ZZ Top song area....). He said he was barb-wire fencing the perimeter of the whole thing. I asked if he was doing it; he laughed. He said "Do you have any...

I, too, can't bring myself to hosing down the engine bay. Sure, everything is supposed to be water resistant, I just can't hose it down. So I go about it the most tortuous way; Simple Green, shop rags, toothbrushes, compressed air and USGI Q-Tips (they have about a 6" wooden stick on them...

I've clay-barred mine twice already - and I bought it last November. When I give it a bath and run my fingers lightly over the hood, if I feel stuck-on "grit", the clay bar comes out. I use Mother's clay bar system. No real rubbing required; spray on the instant detailer, drag the bar across...

I've heard of those horror stories so I do check my oil afterwards. No issues yet.

Down the street from me in my neighborhood there is one house with 3 Jeeps. A JK Wrangler, a JL Wrangler and a Gladiator. Yeah, they like Jeeps. The JK (all tricked out) is driven by Dad, the stock JL by Mom, the JT by their college-age daughter. The JT was a 2020 model and it was ALWAYS in...

Wagon wheels just look so....authentic, so "Jeep". Gotta love 'em !! Ironically, many years ago those wheels were replaced with something that was...cooler looking, more shiny, chrome, whatever. What goes around, comes around. Now you need to put a big Golden Eagle on the hood !! I will...

Very, very legitimate concerns, ones that I have every time. So far, all is well. But I DO check every time before I roll out. I keep my engine bay spotless; it's the USMC in me.... So much so that after my last oil change the kid, um...sorry, the "tech" came up to tell me to tell me about...

Y'know what's even easier ? Telling the service advisor at Jeep, "I need an oil change.". :LOL:

While I still like driving a stick (and now it's almost a bragging point when you say you can drive a stick shift, we're more rare than an honest politician). But do not like driving a stick in heavy traffic. My motorcycle is, of course, a manual, with an actual reverse gear !! With this...

And here I am whining about paying $3.49 a gallon...

My last stick-shift was my 1987 Suzuki Samurai Special Edition. Loved that little thing. Then I got into Houston traffic. Beyond sucks. 2 hours to go 30 miles on a good day. Working that clutch and feathering the throttle then tapping the brakes got old FAST. My next new car was a PT...

Actually, I stand perfectly straight; always have, and it's not a military brainwash thing. Very recently at the doctor, he told me I had "perfect posture". I told him that up until 7th grade I was only 4'11". I had to stand straight or I looked even shorter and the teasing was already...
