    LED cube taken apart. Interesting.

    Yup. V+ is the positive bus. Just mind that the wire gauge can handle the new total current load. Put a Multimeter in series with the light to measure current (I) Then multiply by the voltage. Actual voltage, not just 12v.

    Arduino Based Switch Panel?

    This is only what is currently in my rig, The extended forecast is looking busy. You can see there is plenty of room for expansion. The rear overhead lights will pick up the reverse signal, the trail lights will kick on with the door signal, and there's a spare switch and relay waiting to be...

    New Oil Filter Design For 3.6L

    Is it the filter housing that's cracked? Part (5184294AE) about $170 and not the easiest to replace either...

    Show your Knives!

    First is the pocket knife that I have with me at all times, a Kershaw Leek from the Onion Series. It was found on a trail somewhere in the Colorado wilderness. I personally laser cut my submarine dolphins on it, but the image was a little blurry. The Multitool I carry in my backpack to the...

    Post your old iron

    It's not the end of the world. But it does limit what you can do. Don't get too much dirt in there.

    2012 Jeep JK Wrangler 3.6L V6 Pentastar Engine Oil Change Write-Up

    the 2014 and up filters have the valve on the filter itself. If you mix up your caps, you won't get enough seal on the filter and your oil pressure will drop too. 2013 JK Pentastar 3.6 and 5w-20 Mopar 68079744AD (The last letter is a design revision, all will fit) box model MO-744 Purolator...

    CB mounting and wiring Cobra 19

    Here is how I mounted mine. Forward of the shifter. Install is a little tight, but looks clean and fits my needs. http://wayalife.com/showthread.php?39448-Question-about-Rugged-Ridge-CB-mount&p=765150&viewfull=1#post765150 Edit: The cable can be routed under the plastic rocker covers in the...

    door lock FYI

    The tumblers are held in with these flimsy clips. Do you think it just randomly fell out? This is still the main reason most jeeps are so easy to break into, aside from soft tops. random internet pic for reference

    ham radio license studying

    I have a Kenwood TM-281A, loaded with all the repeaters in the Phoenix valley. I also have a TYT TH-UVF9 handheld in the back, But 2 meter has not gotten popular in the offroad community. There is a 4X4Ham dot com community, but I don't see much activity. I guess, I'll have to fold and install...

    ham radio license studying

    The technician license let's you transmit on a handful of bands and at certain powers. Most casual users will go their whole life at this level. General and Extra let's you transmit on more bands and higher power levels. Each license only requires one test that's 20 multiple choice questions...

    ham radio license studying

    Wow, $25 for a 20 question test thats only $15 itself. I have to say the test isn't that hard anymore since they pulled the morse requirement (among other things). The whole question pool is public too. http://www.arrl.org/Tech-Question-Pool Sorry to knock you Aspenkid, but I recommend saving...

    This should be a fairly easy study guide for the technician license. I recommend skimming over the General license study guide as well because when you pass your test, you can take the next test the same day for free...

    Question about Rugged Ridge CB mount

    I'm not a fan of the cable dangling in my view. I mounted mine in front of that crappy blown out mesh sack in the center console.

    Wanted: Broken Clock Springs

    There is a recall to replace clock springs due to dust in the contacts. Cleaning them fixes this but of course it's not easy to get into the unit, so the whole thing gets replaced. And to top it off, the recall does not cover 2010-2016 Left Hand Drive JKs, but they are still breaking none the...

    FiberFix. Any experience?

    The stuff looks awesome, but there are a few caveats that scare me off. It cant take more than 60PSI, I guess duct tape can't do that either. They're individually wrapped to keep out moisture, so no reusing an opened package if you only use a bit. The shelf life is only about three years. Same...

    1942 willys project

    Its looking great, and original 6 volt too! I started my CJ2A in much worse shape, and frankly... its probably still worse than what you've got now. Keep her lubed and she'll last forever. Oh, and 55 MPH in top gear, good luck! I hit 52 once, downhill and the engine screaming. It was scary for...

    A different windshield light mount

    Finally, something that fits my needs. I didn't want a big 'ole light bar, but the other mounts put the light too low. This mount puts light up high and gets it out to where I need it. Let me know what you guys think! It hurts me to poke holes in my shiny new(ish) rig. I hope it was worth it.
