Thank you! I've had this SmittyBilt winch & Next Venture Motorsports Aluminum Adventure Series Front Bumper for about a year now. I will have to say, that I am really liking this setup on our Jeep JLUR XR! Thanks for watching!

@DovdM The Uber / Lyft driver's don't know if you used a pin or typed in an address, and riders often slightly mess it up or change it. So, seasoned drivers will often ask as a double check. It's one of those deals that a few seconds of talking about it can save a few minutes both for the Uber / Lyft rider and the driver. Thanks for watching!

@DovdM That sounds odd. You should give Uber a call about it. There is a good chance they might refund it or offer you a promo code for your next Uber ride.

@dougwoods9885 Wow! VERY COOL! I love the CRF 300l Rally bikes! I'll bet riding the TAT was a blast on that bike. I had a Honda Africa Twin, but it was too big. I think that I would have liked something like the Rally better! We have been having quite a bit of fun in our Jeep Wrangler too though! Thanks for watching!

That would probably have been a possibility. That shell was a tight fit!

I work for Department of National Defence too by the way. Lol

For sure. I didn't have any other methods to test with; so, I used what I had. Thank you for the comment though!

I could see that working with a weak signal. I wouldn't recommend it without the foil though if you want to try to stop an EMP which can be much stronger than these signals that we are testing with.

Thank you for watching! I've had all of the COVID vaccines, and I'm very well trained in that area (doctorate level & 20 + years of experience working with them). I'm not worried in the slightest about any thing to do with them and electronics! 🙂

@JB-ro3sz No, the bumperwas made here in the USA. It was a newer product when I got it, and I think that they forgot to add clearance for the powder coating in the place where the skid plate meets the bumper. A few thousandths here and there adds up quickly when it comes to making metal fit correctly sometimes! Thank you for watching! Other than that, I love the bumper. I do really like the metal stock bumper too!

Probably, but I would go super slow.

Yes, this route is EXACTLY that, a nice not too technical route that works GREAT for someone just getting used to driving their Jeep. This is still probably our favorite route that we do over and over again. I can remember the first time that I drove down it. I was scared on all of the water crossings. All of them have nice hard bottoms and aren't bad at all. Another nice feature of this route is that it's very high up on the watershed, so it is one of the first areas to drain after a big rain. That being said, turn around don't drown if in doubt. I have never done it when the water was higher than a few feet of air space on the first bridge coming out of St. Paul. From my notes: *** NOT ADVICE!! Just recon I have done on water levels from various sources. *** ST. PAUL - White River - With 7' on the Elkins river gauge there was about 6' of air space at the bridge on CR 112. This was on 10/31/2020, about 48 hrs after a 6" rain event after a VERY dry spell, think drought conditions. In a 2020 Jeep JLUR on 33s. With 10.5' on the Elkins gauge on 12/18/2021, there was 3' of air space at the bridge on CR 112 near St. Paul. We had about 4" of rain in the last 24 hours. In a 2021 Jeep JLUR XR on 35s. We had no issues with either trip due to water levels. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@@HodgeHub Good info! I should be good since that gauge is only reading 3.5' today. 🤣 Thank for the detailed reply.

@@lbpinnwa You're welcome! Thank you for watching!

Absolutely not unless you just want one, or possibly if you plan to expand. However, no need for one at all if all of your ports need to be active and your switch has enough ports.

@Staff Sergeant. Thank you! I think they didn't account for the powder coating. A few thousandths here and there add up quickly when working with metal. All in all, I am really happy with this Jeep front bumper though!

No, I haven’t tested the dust collection port on the saw yet. Thanks for watching!

Going from the east to the west will put you going downhill on that route. That is definitely the easier way to go. There is only one obstacle that is of any real consequence. That is a drop off after the end of a concrete slab. You can see where I go over it going up the hill. I think you will be OK. Just go really slow. You might have to do a little road building right there, but all in all it’s not that bad. Thanks for watching!

@@HodgeHub Thank you. I’ll let you know how it was. 👍

@Patrick Manard Awesome! Yes, please reply with how it went for you. Tons of people read these comments, and your reply will be very helpful to others! Also, there is a Arkansas 4x4 and jeep recovery group on Facebook that you might look up in case you have any trouble.

@@HodgeHub I sure will and I’ll look up that page. Hoping I won’t need them. 👍

@Patrick you probably already know about these, but just in case you don’t. Look up the.Oark General store, and the Catalpa Café. Both are excellent places to eat in the middle of nowhere just a bit east of there on the Transamerica trail (TAT).

@Robert Brady That's a GREAT idea. I really like the idea of using conductive cloth around the seal. Thanks for sharing!

@Roger McCarter Those are GREAT suggestions. I really appreciate the feedback! So, to be clear, does the metal flashing you are describing go on top, and outside all of the edges of the ammo box, then you close the lid on it smashing it?

@@HodgeHub Yes, cut it slightly larger than the size of the rubber seal of the outside edge. 11-1/4" x 5-7/8"

The cut flashing fits tightly "inside" the top ad on the seal. When you force it cosed the first time it get pressed into the top and stay there. Just make sure it cover the the seal.

@@RLMUnbelievaaable Thank you for the reply!

Thank you so much! Shotcut is a very nice video editor, especially for free. You might Look at Davinci Resolve as well. It is also free. I like it better for more advanced video editing. It runs on Mac, Linux, and Windows too I believe!

Rock on!

Very cool! Thanks for the comment & watching!

Thank you! I have been much happier with that setup on my home network for sure! I have since upgraded to gigabit fiber optic for Internet, and added a different switch!

Thank you for the kind words! It’s been about a year, since I posted that video, and I have had a little bit of that discomfort, but not much, and I think a lot less of it than I was having previously. So, in answer to your question, I never did get any more resolution on what was causing that slight discomfort in the throat area. However, I have ridden my bike, pretty hard for a few thousand miles since then, and have not had any further problems or heart problems. So, that is good news! I hope that you continue to do well! Thanks for watching!

I haven't made to the Ouachitas yet, but it looks like a very neat area with some great Jeep trails!

I’m not sure, but I think you could just pry them off. They’re just mounted with double-sided tape.

Thanks for the watching. The door protectors and a cheap & easy mod that work quite well. I have put an identical set on our newer Jeep, and I have been quite pleased with them.

Awesome thank you! That was a fun day with the Bronco out on Frog Bayou!

Thank you for the kind words! And, thank you for watching! 😁

I’m not sure, but I would think so.

peppermint204 was the name of the seller.

You’re welcome!

Thank you! The trail is listed as 95472B on the MVUM.

Thank you very much!!!

Thank you for the kind words. It is a GREAT trail indeed!

What?

Unfortunately, no. If you come up with something, would you reply back here?

Okay, thanks for the video. It helped me out a lot. I was having the same problem, but im fine for now with that quick fix.

You're welcome! It's always nice to save some money! :-) Hopefully, you can save some money on Uber & Lyft! Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much!

Thank you. I got back on my bike about a month after cardiac rehab. By six months after I was released by my cardiologist to go 100%. Luckily, I had no heart muscle damage. I take atorvastatin 80 mg daily.

According to LiveScience.com “Does a faraday cage need to be grounded? Grounding a faraday cage - that is, providing a way for the electric charge from its exterior to exit - is important in terms of safety, but it is not necessary for a Faraday cage to operate. Without grounding, electric charge will remain in the exterior of a Faraday cage.Dec 2, 2021”

Thank you! That is one of our favorite dirt roads for Jeeping!

You're welcome! I hope it helps. Thank you & good luck & may God bless you!

@Aaron A, Great question! The simple answer is that a patch panel has no electronics in it. Where a switch does have electronics inside. A patch panel port only connects to a single port on a wall. Whereas a switch might connect to several ports.

@@HodgeHub ah I see, thanks!

That is an awesome idea! Thank you for the idea on how to better insulate the Faraday Cage!

Foam is what I have in mine, but I have 30mm ammo cans from when I was in military so I have the big heavy duty ones lol

The paint already insulates the radios and equipment.

Paint removal is usually needed to ensure a good electrical contact. In this case we want a continuous electrical connection all the way around the device we are trying to protect in order to produce the faraday cage effect.

Thank you so much! A short part Warloop Road is a bit technical, but not too bad for a Jeep! You will love it if you get a Jeep. Northwest Arkassas is a great area for one! Welcome to the area! Check out some other trail videos on my channel.

@Jack Harding Wise man! Peloton has worked out really well for us! My wife has really enjoyed a lot of the yoga and weight classes that Peloton offers as well. My son has also been using some of the Peloton weight training classes. So, the Peloton subscription has really been good for the whole family!

That is a really good idea. I'll bet those DO make a great Faraday cage! Thank you for watching!

Good to know! Thanks for the feedback on the ammunition box - Faraday cage project! I really appreciate it!!

@@HodgeHub no, thank you for doing all the work. I watched n said screw that lemme see if i can do it lazier way. And it worked. Cell went straight to voice mail

Yeah, I think the S22i & Peloton are both good options for sure.

Yeah, I'm not sure who thought that the Bronco Sport was a good idea!

@@HodgeHub Probably the same guy who thought the Mustang Mach E sounded legit.

Thank you so much for the kind words!
