Welcome from Sacramento, CA! Nice rig! I have a 99 Tahoe as well.

My Yaesu FTM-400 and usb. The plan is to use the Ram mount HD pole attached to the seat bolt and mount the radio and iPad there. They will be closer to control and keep the dash/windshield as clean as reasonable. It would also be easier to adjust between passenger and driver. Basically rotate...

I'm about 8'4", only know as I scrape a little in the parking garage at 8'2". My antenna is 27" or 29" (I believe 1/4 wave). I've been able to get 33 mile very clear reception. I did the roof mount due to a better ground plane. I also have an NMO rain cap, I take off the antenna if I know I'm...

So far I like the radio. Don’t really have any experience to compare it to though. What are you wanting to mount it in?

I did the install myself, after some research. I have a 99 Tahoe. Put an nmo mount on the roof. There is easy access taking the inside roof console off. Ran the coax down the B pillar. Mounted the radio to the transmission hump. I had installed a fuse/relay block indef the rear seat. Got my...

You are right. This sight has some good information https://gunlaw.com/transporting-guns/ that might be helpful.

You have a point. My focus has been handguns. However, I thought the weapons had to be in a different part of the vehicle, i.e. trunk. Vehicles w/o a defined trunk are always a little different in how they are handled. I'll see if I can find more specific info on it. Either way, I'd still lean...

If it is in a pickup and locked otherwise in the vehicle trunk and locked. I would also put the ammo/clips in a separate locked container. "Pursuant to California Penal Code section 25610, a United States citizen over 18 years of age who is not prohibited from firearm possession, and who...

I'm beginning the build process of my 99 Tahoe... I've made sure the engine and drive train are in good condition and dependable. This will also be a daily driver. At this time, I'm planning on leaving her as stock as possible i.e. no lift. The next project will be tires, shocks and...

Kent R - I have signed up for the Ham Cram 12/8. I'm not seeing the email address for hamcram to send info, its most likely in plain sight. Would you be able to send that to me? thanks, Gary J (jillsogw)

We are in the Sacramento, CA area and planning a trip in February. We are new to Overlanding having done just a couple day trips. The wife prefers something warm. I'm thinking this would be more desert or southwest in Feb. I have thought of the Mohave Trail, really would like to do this. We...
