    What all do I need? Getting the most out of a 2.5" lift.

    I know you said you're not interested in an SYE but with the body off the frame like that, but that's the best time to do all those super annoying jobs that require you to drop the skid plate. If you do a body lift you'll be right at the limit of what the stock t-case linkage can handle...

    Powersaws - what's everyone using?

    not yet... was picking up raspberry stalks for my folks and the farmer I was getting them from had a shed full of old saws and that's how I came to own it. I gotta do a full rebuild on it still. Parts for my old 075 stihl came in first so that'll get done first, then the 3120. After that I'll...

    Bond it or Screw it to Dashboard?

    rog. Could try adding a flex seal type tape (super sticky) to the surface and then put the suction mount down on top.

    Bond it or Screw it to Dashboard?

    uhhh the second photo? they both looked the same to me :ROFLMAO: perhaps make the top surface smooth enough for a suction mount if that's at all possible for a 3d printer.

    Show me what's custom on your TJ

    old photo since I've added a holder for a small axe and machete to the underside of the table but this is by far my favourite mod I've done to my jeep. I just used whatever was laying around the shop one afternoon and it turned out great!

    Bond it or Screw it to Dashboard?

    Any chance you could share the file? I don't own a printer but this spot would be great for a phone mount.

    Any Ideas? GMRS mobile radio mounting locations

    I'd consider a bluetooth speaker but if I'm cruising alone (more rare these days) I'll put in some wireless earbuds on a low volume. I have to keep an ear out for radio calls from logging trucks so it's safer to have little to no tunes when I'm on the haul roads. some of the logging trucks...

    Powersaws - what's everyone using?

    I'd say over 90% of what i deal with in my part of the world is conifers like doug fir or hemlock and the occasional Alder on the trail. This pic was from the last firewood run the other week, four rounds filled dads tundra 😅

    Any Ideas? GMRS mobile radio mounting locations

    Jeep never came with a head unit and whoever took it out made an awful mess of the wiring for it... I'm usually with my wife or a friend so I prefer no music since me and whoever is passenger are always chatting. Plus I like to keep an ear out for any "new" noises 😅 This is by no means a clean...

    Powersaws - what's everyone using?

    That's a great story! Where abouts were you working? Got any old saws for sale?😏 My father used to have an old pair of Daytons, along with a handful of other guys of his generation who worked the logging industry, everyone loved those old boots. I love all things related to the history of...

    Powersaws - what's everyone using?

    I became one of those fools who likes porting the exhaust on their saws so hearing protection is an absolute must 😅 Like @JMT said about rocking the saw back and rotating the wrist, that's by far the easiest for engaging the brake after a cut. I started helping a friend/arborist for extra cash...

    Powersaws - what's everyone using?

    Never said he was perfect haha. I took a saw safety course to kill a weekend of boredom and I have a few similar bad habits mainly with the chain brake and not using that enough. That probably stems from personal comfort around saws. I used to wear jeans and ear plugs bucking firewood, now I...

    Powersaws - what's everyone using?

    Learning about compression and tension in regards to bucking logs will help you gain a much better understanding of what to do and how to go about cutting (bucking as we call it on the west coast) literally any tree/log. Whether it's a fallen tree on your property or a windfall in the bush...

    been a few months since I've checked but yea you're right. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to buy that instead...

    Powersaws - what's everyone using?

    Never bought anything from Donny just yet but that's exactly where I planned on going. Once I have enough saved up (estimating $1800-ish) I'll give them a ring and see if they'll port a brand new 562 for me. Might even see if they'll spruce up my old 371 too

    Show me your custom light installs?

    Those look sweet! But I live in Canada so those would cost me more than what I paid for the ones I already have.. I appreciate the gesture though!
