    $35 Amateur/GMRS radio fees

    Well doggonit, I just submitted my GMRS application and monies :laughing: Oh well, won't be the first time the govt gets more than they deserve.

    What else do you use your GMRS for? How handy are they?

    Also handy if you have a couple of Garmin Rino's.

    Nomadic 270 degree awning form Overland Vehicle Systems

    Same here. However, I will admit I have the Nomadic LT 270, which has a smaller deployed size. It looks like the LT version has less one support rod. The LT awning fits so easily in the cover I purposefully roll up the awning loose to help fill out the bag to prevent the bag from flapping when...

    Is Driving Over Snow-covered Highways Permitted?

    From my experience (albeit somewhat limited) in Colorado, when a public roadway is closed and allows tracked snow machine access, wheeled vehicles are prohibited. It's also a common courtesy to the snow machine users as hitting a rut caused by a wheeled vehicle can be deadly.

    Resolved Can we change/tune the "frequency" filtering?

    Same. I have simply decided to not spend as much time here on OB. With only one or two tabs open my use of the site drops dramatically.

    Resolved Can we change/tune the "frequency" filtering?

    The forum has been pretty unbearable to use today.

    Rc cars to keep kids occupied ( and me)

    I am a big Axial fan. I've had my Trail Honcho (SCX10) for a decade and it has gone through many iterations and rebuilds. The 1/10 scale truck is a little big, but I have added a 1/24 SCX24 to the fleet for easier packing on those longer trips.

    It got me a couple of weeks ago... and again today!

    White or amber lights?

    I have DOT amber fog lights for a Jeep JK in my ARB bumper. I absolutely love them. The lights put a lot of light down low and do not reflect rain/snow and are still great during good weather. I also have two bright white HID spot lights on my bumper that are worthless in poor weather. They...

    Build vs. Buy - An Overland Trailer Debate

    Building, or rather retrofitting an existing trailer, took way more time and energy than I anticipated. You can follow my journey here: Project 'Yeller' Trailer Build All in all, I have about $2,500 into my trailer (from original purchase price to getting tires) not including the cost of the...

    Adding accessories

    Without a doubt I would cut the 12v socket off and hardwire the seat heaters. It would be more electrically efficient hardwired than going through the 12v socket. The only caveat is you will have to remember to turn them off if the additional fuse panel is always on. I hope your experience with...

    Solar Panel Open Discussion/Debate/Review

    I have a 100watt Rich Solar flexible panel on top of my Land Cruiser. After 2 years, this is how the panel looks: Rich Solar proudly states they have a 1 year warranty. I first noticed some small bubbling under the panels coating within two months of ownership. I immediately took pictures and...

    What does everyone use for water storage?

    My go-to is the LCI water can with an RV sink pump built into the cap. For longer trips I also fill the blue Scepter can and/or an additional LCI can with normal cap.

    How to add a pressure switch to a Smitybilt compressor

    Nice job tackling the biggest problem with the Smittybuilt Compressor! You might want to consider adding a relay to the system. I see you point out a relay in the wiring diagram, but show the load going through the pressure switch. Those pressure switches are not designed to carry the high amp...

    Ford Maverick and the small overlanding pickup truck

    I pulled up behind an AWD Maverick at the gas station with my MJ the other day. To my surprise the two were almost the same size. I really wanted to dislike the Maverick... but I don't hate it.

    The next GX470

    AMC Eagle :sunglasses: I think the next GX is the GX460! It is still has a solid rear axle and has the attention of the aftermarket manufactures. A current AWD Crossover, like the Forester or Maverick, might take the spotlight in the future simply because they are more fuel efficient and...

    Warm gloves for fine motor tasks

    I really like insulated mechanics gloves for tasks that require some dexterity in the cold.

    A small piece of kit that gives huge piece of mind

    In the last 20 years I have ripped two rubber valve stems off of wheels while on the trail. If it hasn't happened to you, know it is a real possibility and very frustrating when it does. I have been carrying some sort of Colby valve in my vehicles since they were an Indiegogo campaign in 2016...
