Good video! RADIO: Go ahead and put a CB radio in. The wires and antenna cable are probably all in place. It can be very useful out in the boonies. Even better would be an amateur radio VHF/UHF radio, but that needs a license. HARDTOP: I had a friend with a removable hard top on his sports car. He had a pully rig in the garage rafters that was a cool setup. Take care.

I like that Geo tracker. We had a hard plastic lock box that screwed to the bed of our Wrangler, with a soft top. Then when we were doing errands we had a place to lock up things. And by the way, your hard top looks easier to install than snapping up the soft top we had. If it was a smidge off, which was easy because it was soft & wiggled, it would not snap. Plus the snaps would tire out out your thumbs they wrre do stiff. I gave up & let my husband do it. After a couple of if times all he did was zip down the windows, because the snaps were ridiculous.

Yes on getting into CB. It only costs as much as you want to spend. Plus as others have said it can be a lifesaver.especially when you’re topping a mountaintop in the winter, listening in to the truckers and other CBer’s can make a potentially bad day one you can live through. To make it fun have your viewers suggested what brand to buy. CVK seems like a good resource as well.

Hey Eric, you can remove the antenna and the coil separately from the ball mount. That way you can leave the ball mount on there, and not compromise the body / water getting in. You should be able to crank the coil off at the bottom by turning it counter-clockwise.

If you go on 4 wheeling trails with others many use CB radio to communicate because it's cheap, and no license is required. Some use race radio, or other radios like a HAM radio. I found CB the cheapest way to communicate on the trail. Likely that Geo was part of a club maybe others that why they had the CB radio.

Old keys? Go to a locksmith, ALWAYS! Sometimes, ACE hardware can do auto keys. Recommend a steering wheel lock and/or hidden kill switch for that buggy. Mount a swing out hoist on the roof of the storage. Probably can find a used old school lawnmower lift from a landscaper truck. Top on at night keeps out wildlife, and dirt during a wind. Get a BNC quick disconnect for the CB antenna. Spending the winter there? Get tire chains. And know how to drive on ice roads. That short wheelbase can spin like a top at speed and loss of traction. Lose/rename the "Taterland"? Definitely insulation for the shed will make the interior best for winter battery systems.

A dear friend of mine, a Paramedic with ambitions of becoming a Physician's Assistant, died when his 1990 GEO suffered the infamous, and deadly, front-end tuck and roll. The investigation proved that he was only doing 45mph around a sweeping curve, one he had taken numerous times before between his assigned station and home. The road was well maintained, and the vehicle design was deemed the cause of the roll over and his death. By the way his GEO only had 10,000 miles on it at the time.

Makes me want to swap my toad for the Samurai I've been looking at. I live on 35 acres of tall pines and normally use old motor oil I've drained out of one of my trucks in all my saws.. BTW- I bought a brand new F350 diesel truck in 2000, at 6 months old I took it into a shop for a 15 qt oil change, went back into the office. Got off work to a pool of oil under the truck, grabbed the filter and was hanging on by just a couple threads. Had I not spotted the oil I would have trashed a brand new diesel. With the state of the Nation today, you might want a CB radio for emergencies. I really like the ShowLo area, it's a laid back world in itself.

If you are not wanting CB. Change it over and get buggy whip you can get one with LED and it can be green. or get one that you can change the color. That will be fun at night on trail.
