    Must Have's

    Stumbled onto it, ordered one as a test.

    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...

    Best Mapping Software?

    I've used Gaia for years, but some of their recent changes have caused me temporary grief and I'm looking at OnX. Gaia's land ownership data isn't as good as OnX's, although it does seem to be getting better. Since OnX was originally built for hunting where you need to absolutely know if you're...

    Big Bear Bronco Bash XXII - Overview

    Some of it covered here: https://socalbroncos.com/forum/threads/must-haves.521/ but not all of it. As you gain experience your own list will grow and change with you. I would prioritize a radio (so others can find you if you're lost) and being able to air up and down. Suggest that you use what...

    Big Bear Bronco Bash XXII - Overview

    Look up last year's threads on this, "Archived Threads...". There is a thread started by Dusty that has a link to the trail descriptions, and another thread of his with descriptions and map links to each of the staging areas. That isn't to say that everything this year will be the same. You can...

    Duff long arm install on 2.5" lift - any concerns?

    The shape of the frame is going to limit the up travel to the same position regardless of lift. Unless you do something wild and crazy anyway. At first I thought that it might be that the Caster can't be set right at a lower lift, but after looking at the page on them I'm not sure. What does...

    Must Have's

    I'm putting these in order of what I think is greatest to least important. When in doubt about any of this, buy from a reputable off-road specific vendor like the vendors that support this forum, or Off-Road Warehouse. Fire Extinguisher: The biggest that you can fit and make secure in an easy...

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

    Well, the floor jack bled down while I was at work allowing the DS beam to go to full droop, and in the process it leaked about a quart of diff juice onto the concrete. So now at least that whole side has to come back apart and possibly the PS as well. dang! but I'm glad to know now that there's...

    Show in Ventura connected with The Throwdown Cornhole Event, August 25 - 27

    Ran into the promoter of this event last night: https://thethrowdowncornholetournament.com/ The mech. fuel pump in his new to him EB appeared to have quit working. I stopped to see if I could help, but they had it under control. Of course while I was there I pimped the BBBB and he told me that...
