    16 year old jeep liberty

    Hi, It is a normal looking licence but it has a code on it relating to Auto only. ;) The endorsments are limited to eyesight and the use of 'correction lenses' and booze bans if any. I guess you could call the auto only thing a type of endorsment. It does get in the list of endorsments an...

    Hi, Well, 2m (144Mhz) and 70cm(430Mhz) are the sort of starting points in to Ham radio. 2m is the most common and you will find that is what most repeaters are on. 70cm is good in the city as the UHF signal will bounce around the bulidings a little better. 2m travels further in the country and...

    Premium Gas Woke Up My KJ!

    Hi, Yeah but don't forget they use a PON scale in the US. Not RON as we do. 85 in the US is about 95 in RON. I use 95 here as a minimum and 98 if I need more for more. 95 is the norm tho. Any less and your engine won't be happy. My 10c worth....:eek:

    Ham in Jeep...

    Hi! This was my way of thinking too!! I just downloaded the info for sitting the licence here in NZ - I guess the same there - and studied the questions. A basic licence in the US isn't too tricky from what I'm told. We don't have a 'basic' type licence here but it wasn't too difficult. I'm...

    Hi, Well, the ashtray seemed quite strong and firm even when open. So, a small piece of alluminium bent at the right angle (not quite 90deg) was STUCK into the ashtray with 3M pressure tape (real good stick and strong). The radio head was stuck to the alluminium and 2 small (supplied with the...

    KJ Draws for the rear....

    Aloha all, I have been looking for some draws for the rear of the KJ. Seems nobody makes them. (Same with Discoverys too). Anybody made any or found any commercially that don't cost the same as the car? :D Thanks......
