    Post pics of your GPS!

    Door speakers

    Hi, 2Ohm. I ditched my amps and rewired in a new DIN sized head unit and new speakers. A crossover went in the doors for the tweeters and I just connected the 'incoming' wires to the 'outgoing' wires for the rear speakers. Works a treat!:smokin:

    35 mile- Two Way GMRS Radios

    Hi, I dunno about a complete demise. 11m CB still has its' place and will rll on for a while I think. But, in New Zealand and Australia UHF radios have become the norm due to things like repeater access and small inexpensive and simple portables. Me, I like our 11m CB but not many others do!!!

    KJ pull outs!

    Ya pulled a Hummer out!! Hillarious nana.gif I can clearly remember the episode of Top Gear from the BBC that showed a Hummer and maybe a Lincoln Navigator and an 'unidentified' 4x4 - (as the presenter was in it and they only showed him). They all had to climb a simple hill to get a dozen beers...

    Kj sport, renegade or limited?? 2.4 or 3.7??

    Hi, I would doubt the less acceleration and gas mileage shouldn't get any worse as you are still dragging the unused front axel's weight in 2wd. Doesn't see to make much difference in mine.:rolleyes:
