Don't overthink it too much like I usually do. :) Do the front leveling kit and see how it looks and performs, etc. If it sits a little lower in the back occasionally when it's loaded down, that's not really that big a deal. Any vehicle is going to do that when it has a bunch of stuff back...

Because it's $40 not several hundred for a hobby a person may not even enjoy. They seem fine to me and there are plenty of videos from people with tons of experience who have started with them. Not buying one is like handing out an extra few hundred dollars and hoping you like the fries you just...

I'm fairly new to the radio world but I bought two BF-F8HP's and am listening to guys a long ways from me talking now. They are cheap so might as well have one (or more) on hand and then start researching what you want for your big purchase/radio. I also bought two gmrs baofeng's last week and...

I've watched your channel for a while now and am a new ham operator. Welcome to overland bound. Still can't decide which model mobile to get even after watching yours and others videos! :)

Congratulations. I just recently passed my exam as well. I have been so busy with various other aspects of life that I haven't been able to do anything radio related so I've pretty much forgot everything I learned. Ha ha I'm starting to learn again though and I also got my gmrs license today. I...

I've had a rooftop tent since January 2016 and have used it quite a bit. I was trying to make the same decisions you did. What I ended up doing was both. I acquired a homemade trailer for free and then rebuilt it and put square tubing on top to hold my RTT. It holds all my camping gear plus a...

Ha ha. I guess I shouldn't have washed it. I hope y'all enjoy it. It was good meeting y'all too.

Update on the land cruiser: I haven't had the chance to diagnose the AC to see why it isn't working now since it was before. The brake booster also needs to be replaced now. It recently started making a "whistling" type noise when I push the brake peddle. A guy at Toyota said it's a rubber piece...

Ha ha the good part about going in the summer is you'll be the only one there. Its way too hot to go then. Keep in mind there are no trees in big bend other than by the river and up in the mountains. BYOS: bring your own shade. Thanksgiving and Christmas are very busy as is spring break. We...

Kinda. It was working when I got it but over the last few years it quit blowing cold air. I really ever drive it so haven't taken it to be recharged. It hasn't been a priority which is another reason I've decided to sell it.

I know myself and others and placed some big bend info on here recently. It's such an awesome place. I hope y'all have fun. We'll probably go back this fall or winter.

Still for sale. I need money for the Tundra and the boat I'm rebuilding. $6500 takes it.

This is David. I just met you at Possum Kingdom. Y'all have a great rig. Keep up the good work on it.

... I need a sponsor. .. Ha ha Don't we all!

Holy cow now that's a sweet setup. I think you are correct that you would have to start from the ground up vs trying to modify the current one. I'm looking forward to seeing what ideas you come up with.
