    US Southwest Recurring - North Central Texas Meet & Greet

    Will anyone be up on GMRS Ch1? Have a new MXT275 and would like to test the range as I’m inbound.

    US Southwest Recurring - North Central Texas Meet & Greet

    Saw something about Sat 1 May. Drove out to the bridge in case the day or the date was incorrect since 1 May is Sunday. Cool location. So, did I miss the day or the date?

    US Southwest Recurring - North Central Texas Meet & Greet

    Missed the last couple of meetings - apparently due to change of location. Is this the place to check to ensure we know where to go? Or can the Rally Point post be updated if there is a change?

    Rear Cargo / Sleeping Platform Extension

    Added a removable platform extension for sleeping or cargo if I tent camp. Build out coming along - even if slower than I would want.

    Pelican Case Rooftop Storage

    Added some rooftop storage with a Pelican V700 case. Decide to try and anchor it without drilling holes in the actual case. We’ll see how this works. More room inside now.

    We Got Comms

    What antenna specifically is that, please? Midland's site for the 115, 275 and 400 show a short whip type. Same for RightChannel. It’s the Midland Ghost 3db. I got the same small antenna with the 275. It comes with the package. Got the Ghost on Amazon. Be sure you buy the lip mount bracket...

    The Runner gets some mods

    Added some minor mods to the Runner WeatherTech sunroof wind deflector to try and deflect some of the wind from under the rack and reduce the noise. Seems to be working so far. Lightened things up with some CaliRaised LED PODS with sidelights and Rugged Ridge X-Clamps to mount them to the...

    We Got Comms

    All good advice and input. Was a Jeeper for about 10 years (89 YJ). And the CB was the go to. Have had handheld GMRS /FRS for a few years for camping / hiking / SHTF. Decided to move up to the Motorola MXT 275 for some more range and commonality. HAM is on the to do list. Nearing retirement...

    We Got Comms

    I’ve had a CB for a while (old school), but realize that most common method it seems is GMRS, so….we got comms!! And, a license - WPRD848.

    Off Grid Chainsaw’ng

    I’ve watched a number of YouTube channels that have used these for overlanding and for off grid property, so I like the idea. Thought I’d throw out there for a Christmas present, and…. We have a couple of acres off grid enough there is no gas station for at least an hour or better, but we do...

    Santa left me a great piece of gear for the overlanding / off grid property kit. Ryobi 40V Chainsaw. Solar generator or onboard inverter. No gas required. Limited in use and limitations recognized, but better than nothing!! And, on the Cubby Good Piece of Gear scale this rates a “Great...

    I did notice it for a few days afterward - as most people that know their vehicles would. But, it did not affect he ride. Used to it now. As an FYI - Total weight was about 150-160 lbs.

    Camp Kitchen/ Kitchen Box

    Yes it does. But it became too big for transport so it is a permanent camp kitchen at our place in the mountains.

    Beginning of a Drawer System

    I needed to make room and and recover some cargo space. I had some extra wood laying around and instead of selling it on the open market to make some money to buy Goose Gear, I built this instead. Drawers will be added later, and I need to redo the spray adhesive on the deck carpet. But this...
