Hey folks, moved to Boston (Brookline / Newton) from Arizona and excited to explore more around here, especially overnights. Driving a Toyota Sequoia. :grinning: Also! If I could sneak in a question - where around here do folks get help with upgrades/electrical/troubleshooting? A friend...

We got to play up in Flagstaff a bit in the snow, but it wasn't a lot and is pretty much gone now. Cinders OHV area was great in the snow tho!

@kyle.d.higgins PM sent. If anyone else wants to come (tomorrow 8am) let me know.

@Billygoat Rocklanding we ended up headed to the 50-truck (!) Butcher Jones run, which was fun but the kids complained about all the bouncing and we didn't complete it. Lesson learned, I guess. We were intending to head North for the clean-up but didn't have time. Did you go and how was it?

@Billygoat Rocklanding I'm aiming to be there, but around noon. If you're there love to say hello.

That's super useful thank you! Great to know.

Why you gotta muddy the waters? All was so clear! hahah I have a scanner (doesn't transmit) that could listen for the other radio I guess, but seems simpler to just have the two. I'd hate to nuke a radio by transmitting without an antenna. Update! Got the GMRS all setup today (ghost...

Dec 13th: If anyone was thinking of doing this run with that AZ Sequoia group (anyone is welcome!), the location is moved. Let me know if you want to go and I'll PM you more details (it's posted in a private group...) Dec 6th (Sunday): I'm aiming to run Butcher Jones with 50 (!) other people...

Cell booster: Weboost drive reach (installed, that's the one up top) with the Wilson truck antenna GMRS: Midland MXT400 (finishing install today) with the ghost 3d and longer 6db antenna (ghost for city and longer for trail) CB: Uniden PRO505XL with the FireStik FL3-B 3' FireFly antenna I'm...

Great stuff guys, thanks so much. I'll go with two separate antennas. For mics, if they happen to work out then great, but otherwise I'll use two there also. Can just try and see. (And I won't expect much) :smiley:

New to overlanding and offroading, and now tackling comms. I bought both types of radios. Now figuring out what goes where. I'm thinking if I'd only need one type of radio at a time (true? false?) then I could: Mount both radios side by side They could share an antenna mount They could...

@OTH Overland v cool to hear that tucking it away can work. I just picked up a GMRS radio and am thinking of where to mount it. Putting it inside the center console (2019 Sequoia, it's huge) seems good if I won't have to fiddle with it one we're en-route. Should people worry about great build-up?

Just looked it up. 3 days! If it's not over a Friday night/Saturday (unlikely I know...) I'm down too.

@Billygoat Rocklanding just checking if you meant 3 days (probably can't!) or 3 hours (I'm in!) ...

Here's the posting. If you think you'll be in lemme know and I can let the organizer know.
