Many vehicles, even tiny ones have space between inner and outer walls for decent size speakers where the JT is lacking from what I've seen. The space between walls provided enough of what the speaker wants to produce decent bass in these cases. I don't know where you could put a 6X9 or larger...

Is that a stock system or custom in the Comanche?

That sort of looks like your up in the Panamint Mountain Range that overlooks Death Valley. I was up there a month or so ago and had spectacular views like that.

I have to admit never hearing the lower tier non Alpine Premium setup, so I don't know how much of an audio upgrade the premium really is. I do know the JT is lacking some things that make it easier to get good clean punchy bass like space. The second thing its lacking is space, and so on...

I have the Alpine Premium with the smaller screen. The stock sound is ok, not great but ok. The JT is a difficult vehicle for sound and I think it would cost at least what the Alpine runs for a custom install and unless you can hear one already done, you won't have a clue how it will sound until...

Its not the LEDs that make noise but high frequency switching power supplies that feed them. There is some RF radiation from the power supply circuit but much of the interference travels down the power cable to the LEDs and back to the battery and that becomes the antenna which radiates it...

The problem is often the lack of a good ground plane and that has nothing to do with grounding back to the battery but rather how much flat sheet metal is right under the antenna. Part of the formula is how much capacitance to ground the antenna whip has and substituting a longer one has more...

When I get above 36psi I can feel the truck starting to wander a bit so I run 33-34psi cold (60deg ambient air) and it gets up to around 36psi hot after some hwy miles. In the summer the cold pressure will go up a little and I have to air back down to 33-34psi. This was really noticeable with...

I did the same thing a few days ago and its working great. My lights have two LEDs on top of each other and I laid the tape down with the lower edge right across the center of the lower LED cutting it in half and completely covering the top LED and all the lens above the lower LED. I also used...

For the JScan app you get a bypass cable and it stays in the vehicle giving you a wide open OBD2 port. I do remove my bypass cable when dropping the truck off at the dealer.

I already had three antenna mounts on my Mojave, two NMO trunk lip mounts on the front hood and a custom mount in the bed that will take everything from a 3" 900MHz NMO whip to a heavy 160-10M HF screwdriver. But I wanted more and have been looking at the upper bed rail below the rear window for...

If you give up the storage space under the rear seats there is a lot of room, although kind of flat. How bout dual subs in a flat box that vent out through cutouts in the plastic trim under the seats? The subs would probably have to be inside the box facing up into the seats but the back...

So for most people it looks like you will replace all the sensors when getting new tires. Anyone got a price on a new TPMS?

I've built a number of speaker systems for home stereo and the last one took about 2yrs to peak and tune properly. There are preferable shapes for the sealed box and a sloping front like the stock sub is preferred to reduce internal reflections. Car stereo is not as critical and home use but...

Are you guys using any speaker designing software taking into account the speaker electrical and acoustical parameters to get the right box size and shape? Even after that the box usually needs to be tuned by adding or removing fluffy stuffing. If you just stick a random speaker in a random box...

Anyone know how long the TPMS batteries last in general? Are the batteries replaceable like when you change tires?

Agreed. Me at the meetings looking down at my feet: Hi, my name is Mike and I'm a ham radio/antenna/coax hoarder. Group response: Hi Mike, nice to meet you!

I'm not advocating this, but with a simple mod the 857 will go on GMRS. Not legal, but neither is the Baofeng.

I drove a 2008 5.7L Tundra extended cab for 13yrs and it was very reliable and had gobs of power. It was also very boring. Sold it mid last year and got a Mojave and am having a good time. Its just more exciting to get in it and drive anywhere, it doesn't really matter if its off road or on. Off...

On my JT the chassis mounted ground studs had been painted over and that can lead to high resistance when the the lug doesn't make good contact to the actual chassis and only connects to whatever the nut scrapes through on the painted threads. I would use a Dremel tool with wire brush to remove...
