    The GMRS Radio Thread

    I'm no GMRS radio expert, but I'm learning. This thread is to discuss all things GMRS. :D This is somewhat of a spin-off from The Ham Radio Thread. https://www.rme4x4.com/threads/the-ham-radio-thread.110912/ After looking into communications options for my land cruiser, I realized that...

    Spaggyroe's FJ80 Landcruiser build

    Sometimes you don't find projects... they find you. This is one of those instances. :rofl: Back story on this one... Last year, we attended a BBQ with some of my wife's gym friends.

    The F150 adds an electric option to the lineup in mid 2022 (unless it has the same product launch team as the Bronco, in which case it’ll be a 2024 offering) 😂 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.caranddriver.com/news/amp36384035/ford-f-150-lightning-name-confirmed/

    Let's talk about the F.I.R.E. movement (Financially Independent, Retire Early).

    Dempsey (@TurboMinivan) started an excellent thread about investing https://www.rme4x4.com/threads/i-just-opened-a-roth-ira-and-am-ready-to-invest-in-the-stock-market.116843/ which got me wondering... are any RME-ers actively pursuing the F.I.R.E movement (A.K.A., early retirement). My dad...

    Decent factory screw jack recommendation?

    So, I’d like to snag a screw jack from the PnP to carry in my Bronco. I have changed tires with a high lift and don’t love it. I don’t want to carry anything hydraulic because leaks. Any suggestions for a good, factory screw jack that lifts high enough to actually use on a lifted rig with 35’s...

    BF Goodrich - KM3's - Info and opinions needed

    I'm contemplating a set of 35x12.50 BFG KM3's. I thought I'd ask if anyone is currently running them and if so, what is your impression of them? I'd also like to know how true they measure out to be. The KM2's apparently measured quite small compared to their advertised size. Thanks!

    Who does auto electrical work (preferably in Utah county?

    Spaggyroe's scratch built early Bronco build.

    Soooo... Back in the good ol days of 2019, I decided that I wanted to get back into an Early Bronco. It has been a long time since I've owned one and was shocked to find what a rusted out heap was going for these days. After looking at several that were mostly transparent, but still...

    Spaggyroe's off road trailer build... err... built..??

    I originally wasn't going to do a "build thread" on my trailer, because this was intended to be a wintertime project that I could work on as time, money, and the desire to work on the thing presented itself. I shared some pics with @Magerdgr, who convinced me to throw some build pics up even...
