Now don't tell that to my Cali legislators, they like to hire phony pHDs and promote environmental hoaxes to tax us out of our own homes. Must be where you live. No coal has powered my car. Power produced from coal continues to decrease every year. There is no easy fast fix, but ya gotta start somewhere. :) Coal provides about 4% of mexico's energy requirements.

On my 5th jeep, all have gone 180,000 plus miles before I sold them. Not an issue with any of them. That's great, my mothers Olds Aurora also has a statistically poor reliability rating, and she had no problems either - there are always outliers in statistics, and with a Jeep, it's good to have one!

Keep your expectations for quality very low. A decent subwoofer runs 600W with 2Kw peaks, and that's just the sub. A good 7-channel amp is 100W/channel continuous to be able to reproduce clear notes. If you don't expect much, you'll be pleased with the outcome.641Views0likes0CommentsRe: What's a decent battery charger?
+2 to the Schumacher brand float-chargers. I've got a few and only had one go out over many years, and keep a couple of my AGMs plugged in ($30K Harley-Davidson and Optima Blue-Top AGM) as trickle chargers. Some of them have the higher-amp setting which would provide both a fast charger and a float-charger. As a jumper we use a WAGAN power-dome. After so many years of using the small Schumacher float-chargers without issue, it's obvious from some of the products other folks rely on that we've saved a tidy sum of $pending Green indeed. :)658Views0likes0CommentsRe: 4x4 vs 2x4
I was raised a swamper in 4X4s in a wilderness area, but I think the issue is seeking reliability advice on THIS forum. A subscription to Consumer Reports will give you actual advice from the entire statistical database, including unbiased professional analysis. But it's you time to waste, and among the threads there are other owner's experience... wait, that's what a subscription provides. I"m Ford and GM certified (previously), and that's where I get my data. :B229Views0likes0CommentsRe: Router setup as a Wireless bridge
My Netgear Range Extender adds a password choice along with the .ext suffix identity as opposed to the router, a Netgear AC1900. I paid $ 29.00 at a Fry's Electronics sale, retail was $ 59.00. Works without issue and has an ethernet jack to boot. I think you need both a router and an extender that are compatible, in your case, my guess is they are not compatible and preventing a different password. Disclaimer: I'm not a computer professional, but my father co-wrote cobol, fortran, and parts of basic...and set up the TRACON systems that get me home safely by air. I wanted to be a scientist. YMMV. :B684Views0likes0Comments
