    It's been my experience that women that aren't very knowledgeable about car repair and parts get a bad deal the majority of the time. That obviously doesn't apply to you, so your experience is probably well outside the norm. It happens to guys as well. But not as often. I've had many lady...

    If it came back to life after a battery change, it might have been a bad connection. And moving a few wires when changing out the battery made the connection again. It was my first thought when I read your post. My jeeps are old and have fun wiring things going on all the time. :)

    My brand of choice for lithium jump starters is gooloo. They are super reliable, great build quality, and as good as the leading brand that is equal in performance and build, but costs a lot more. I also highly recommend never using your jump starter to charge devices. Get a dedicated portable...

    Completely agree. There a Jeep model that even has a second battery that most don't realize is there. When it dies it freaks people out because the battery shows as good, and it is. But the second somewhat hidden one is toast. I was just trying to make sure people knew it could be done, because...

    Many cars can run without the battery once started. The battery is to crank the starter. Hence the name starter battery. Cars are designed to run off of the alternator current. Not the battery.

    You'll probably want something like this for off road use, so to speak. https://www.harborfreight.com/material-handling/tires-casters/8-inch-pneumatic-swivel-caster-42485.html

    Roll around kitchen

    Unless I misread, the original idea for this cart kitchen is that it can be used inside as well as outside on nicer days. If that's the case, when it's very windy it stays inside. When it's nice outside, roll it to the lift and bring it outside. The main thing to consider is balance of the...

    Thank you rvwandering. I was hoping that was the case. Being smartly moderated and overly moderated is the difference between a forum being a community or just a tool for information. I'm glad to be a part of this community.

    I definitely would prefer if it was technical difficulties in this case.

    I don't think him saying delete caused all of those posts to be deleted.

    We the people will probably think you're dead if you take a nap next to your motorcycle on the side of the road. And I for one would want a little more shelter during sleep, even for a 15 minute nap. That's not hiding. That's common sense. Relax on the them/us narrative on something so simple.

    Yup to all of that. My Jeep is a 93 Wrangler, so I'll have to insure it for stated value. The security will be way over the top, and mostly because it has dual use on the road. But a lot of it is just for giggles. If someone wants it bad enough it's gone. I accept that.

    There are so many things you can do to minimize theft risk. But none of them are foolproof. There are too many fools willing to try and steal a car. The system in the original post sounds like a well thought out design that will work great for many people. There's no knock on building a better...

    The road will tell you you're too sleepy when you ride. Or a tree.
