Vaders Place

This is my old site. Please visit my new site:www.mufflerbearings.com

What's here:

I've designed a custom CB mounting bracket that allows attaching a small frame CB to the windshield frame of a 97/98/99 TJ, (and earlier Wranglers), just above the rear view mirror. Installation utilizes the existing windshield hold down loop Torx screws and allows for hiding the antenna cable and power wires for a very clean, rigid installation. The idea for the bracket arose due to the lack of real estate inside the Wrangler for mounting any type of accessory. This method of mounting leaves the only other good mounting site, above the small shelf over the radio, available for other things like a GPS mounting bracket. Email me if you are interested in purchasing a bracket, or a pile of brackets. I have installation instructions showing how to route the antenna and power wires through the windshield frame with a minimum of hassle.

Information about Hemochromatosis

I have a genetic disease known as hemochromatosis. This condition allows iron from food to be absorbed into the body beyond what is healthy. In fact, it can kill you. The excess iron will also cause numerous secondary problems including chronic fatigue, arthritis, cancer, depression, cirrhosis of the liver, heart problems, and premature death.

5 in 1000 people have this condition, and 25 to 35 million people in the USA are carriers of it (carriers display symptoms although to a lesser degree than those who have it outright). Hemochromatosis is the #1 genetic killer in the USA and most people who have hemochromatosis don't know it! (I didn't!) Many doctors don't know much about the condition, and because the symptoms of hemochromatosis are other diseases, it is often overlooked.

It's quite easy to test for this condition (a simple blood test to check the level of iron in the blood) and, once identified, hemochromatosis is treatable. During your next physical, ask to be tested.
