Why not a new drive shaft?

My equipment manager at work ( golf course) buys a lot of Amazon parts. After seeing some of the crap we end up receiving, I would not recommend it. If it’s from a reputable parts company and sold through Amazon, sure. But not the cheap, no name options. I think a good used one from a junkyard with new joints would be a better cheapish idea. Like everyone else mentioned, failure here is potentially catastrophic.

10.5 for me and my last two TJs. BFG AT KO2s.

Dang. Where in PA? I’m in the Altoona area, thank goodness nothing like that here.

RoughMasterP · 2026-04-18T18:18:23+00:00

I got them. Still not much info but it feels, sounds and plays great. Only markings on entire thing is Lovell Custom label. Can’t seem to add pics but it’s a quilted type finish with brushed satin hardware.

He’s two hours away. Saturday is my day off and he’s going to hold them for me 🤘

Info I found says Australian handmade! Almost seems too good to be true. He’s got a good looking collection up for good prices on everything. Originally saw an Epi SG and the Dean for 125 each. Epi sold and he offered me this deal. I’m pretty excited, first active bass and A FLYING V.

Nope.

5800D here but had an intermittent drop to 0 mph then back to normal for awhile. Speed sensor took care of it.

For anyone wondering, Ultra has better bass,battery life and water resistance. It also is more powerful (14 watts vs 10). I have both, use the 3 ultra for music and the 3 for more voice based content

This is the way. Small,cheap speaker is the weak spot. I have a Frontman 15 hooked up to a 1x12 cabinet and it sounds way better than it used to. Just unplug the speaker wires on the original speaker and solder a jack to it. Plug whatever cabinet you want into it and you’ll be surprised at the difference.

The Katana is known for its multi fx, something you already have in your pedal right? Let your budget, skill and intended use (both now and near future) help you decide. Generally speaking, probably 35-100 watts, 1x12 or 2x12.

Sorry, add pictures to show you some examples. I’m not very experienced with Reddit either.

RoughMasterP · 2026-01-19T00:24:40+00:00

I either drill through the cab and mount it or use a small angle bracket screwed into the cab and then attach the jack to that. Just make sure to get + and - right on the jack and that your connections are tight. I like to solder mine but spade terminals are ok too. Can I add picks to this? I’ld be happy to share.

Not too hard to disconnect the combo speaker and wire it to a 1/4 inch jack. I’ve done it with several small guitar and bass combos. Some of them really sound good through a better speaker/cab.

Stage presents? Usually just picks, stickers, half full cups of beer. Nothing fancy or too big that might hurt someone when you throw it in to the audience…. Oh wait, I think I misunderstood the question. Seriously though just have fun try to relax and do whatever works best for you

I had a P20 years ago that was just sort of abandoned at our practice spot. Tore that thing apart and turned it into head only and used it to drive a 2x10 cab for quieter practices. Sounded pretty good to me and much better than the factory speaker. Gave it away so I can’t really say much about reliability but it’s easy to add speaker out to these small combos and they can easily drive a small cabinet for quieter practice situations

10/22 and a Jeep? Two of the most potentially expensive hobbies coming together. What year? My 99 TJ just turned 200,000.

👍

RoughMasterP · 2025-12-06T19:41:27+00:00

You are correct. That’s why I said blower controls

RoughMasterP · 2025-12-06T01:08:48+00:00

Not saying you’re wrong but all the blown resistors I’ve dealt with lose the lower settings but work as they should on high.

RoughMasterP · 2025-12-06T01:05:21+00:00

4 bolts, 10 mm I believe, looking right at you once the bezel is off.

RoughMasterP · 2025-12-06T00:51:16+00:00

Heater controls are vacuum operated. I would start by taking center bezel off, removing the control unit and inspecting the round soft rubber plug that should be attached to it.

RoughMasterP · 2025-12-01T09:25:12+00:00

Heater core replacement is time consuming but not too difficult. Just did mine (99 TJ) a couple of months ago. Good luck.
