    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    We like doing our own maintenance. Save money, and you get knowledge in case shit breaks on the road/trail.

    I know others have more tools than me, but tools aren't expensive. Especially the ones we need for suspension.

    So i remember a month or so ago someone mentioning this little guy...

    Noco Genius Boost GB30 12V UltraSafe Lithium Jump Starter
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M1OUBES/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1



    Well i just picked one up off Amazon. Im TDY for work so im in San Diego. So first thing im staying in a rental house. Just a props to amazon..i ordered one last Wednesday...supposed to arrive Saturday. It showed delivered but wasnt there (or on my neighbors porch). Well waited till after work Monday and it wasnt there still. Long story short amazon mailed me a new one out for free with no questions asked.


    But enough about amazon. This is a great little device. Size wise its nice and compact. The main unit is the size of regular volt meter. I charged it off my phone charge which was nice and hot. It comes half charged and i honestly dont know how long it took to charge since i did it over night.

    Well anyways since i have a rental car and my truck here i drive the rental all the time (free gas!). So the truck sat for way to long. Over a month. Its dead. Like dead dead. Doors dont unlock by the key fob. The lights for open door dont even come on. So what a great test! Doesnt get much deader than this.

    Hook up is simple. Positive to positive, negative to negative/chassis. Plug cable into the unit. Turn unit it on. If the battery has some juice itll auto detect and go into jump mode. My battery was to dead so i had to "manual over ride". Once i did that i went to start the truck. It was a bit sluggish but it start, ran for probably 5 seconds, then died. So i waited a minute and tried again and this time it started up and kept running. Went and disconnected the unit and checked the battery...still four lights ("full").

    Im happy with the little guy. Its small enough to keep under the rear seat or under the seat or where ever really. its comforting to know you can jump start yourself if needed and that it can handle a couple jumps if needed. Only down side i had was the cost and no instructions printed on the actual unit. Its basic to use but theres plenty of room on the bottom they could have included basic jumping instructions.

    I would definitely recommend this after being able to see it can start a totally dead battery by it self in less time it takes to do a normal jump via car to car.


    and sorry for grammar and spelling..7 12s for a few months and you stop caring

    I was going to go somewhere but look at the weather, 1-2 inches of rain expected here. Be careful if you do go

    I've been thinking a bit about next summer and doing a "big trip" like the WABDR that was done last year and I wanted peoples opinions to see if you would be interested. I have talked to JDAM a bit about this but I would like to make a trip over to northern Idaho. I have gone over there many times and there are millions of places to explore and camp. Reason im posting this as a "feeler" is because it is a bit further to get there compared to last years trip, so would anyone be interested in going probably mid July and checking out what Idaho has to offer off road?

    I'm trolling this thread for this exact reason.

    Count me as interested.

    Idaho is definitely a worthy destination. The Magruder corridor goes thru some of that last remaining true wilderness in the lower 48. And the Lolo Motorway is just amazing for its scenery and it history.

    July is when I've got vacation with relatives, so that's a bit hard unless it's late July or into August. I think Idaho would be a blast if I can pull it off, but right now I've got a million things on my mind.
