I would say you could cover the basics (assuming you wanted all three services) with a minimum of 3. The simple truth of the matter is it all depends on WHAT the majority of the people you hang out with use. There is NO point in getting mobile GMRS if you are the only one who uses more than a...

I thought for that I would just bring along a couple 30-50' antenna towers and duck tape them to my bumpers :D

only 2 antennas??? by the time I get my comm gear installed I am looking at 4-9 full time antennas potential to include a lot more for special purpose. CB: Uniden CMX 760 (on back order) since I do not have sufficient room to properly mount my old cobra 148nwst I have a magmount wilson for it...

welcome from east Tennessee

I do not drink the vile nasty horrid, yet wonderful smelling stuff... I used to have some friends who had started a coffee house they desperately wanted to find SOME way to serve me coffee that I would like the taste of and never could. However, that said, I have long kept a french press in my...

True enough, though I wanted it on that corner of the fender, but I was unhappy with the gaps created by the curvature of the fender. (something of a parody of the jeep trail rated badge)... I MAY have planned out the approximate placement of every sticker that will ever be applied to my tacoma...

I have not yet installed mine. they arrived a li'l over a week ago, but I want to do a serious cleaning of the area first, but I got the dual badge membership package and wanted to install one badge on each side of me new Tacoma (though when I get my trailer made in the next couple years, I am...

natural wood coals (and for that matter lump charcoal as it is basically the same thing) lack the uniformity of a briquette, so the heat calculation charts can be thrown off... additionally environmental factors come into play such as wind. It is something you can get a bit of a "feel for", but...

I got my dad's old cast iron out of storage... My folks stopped using it when they got a radiant glass top stove. it has some light rust of several pieces... a couple pieces may take a bit more work, but for overlanding, cast iron is an absolutely great option. I presently have all Lodge with 3...

Welcome from East Tennessee

truth be told, your best bet is kydex (ABS plastic) but that requires some specialized gear that you may or may not wish to do the DIY work to make (it is not hard, it just depends on what you have available for workshop and tools.) leather will not appreciate long term exposure to the elements...

Hidie-ho neighbor from Harriman. lets see... diamond back tonneau, tepui RTT, rotopacks, looks like an RCI bed rack (though that is not RCIs logo. can't say I recognize it) and a prinsu rack... yeah I would say ye look pretty well equipped to me... makes my near stock tacoma feel kindda...

thank you for the update. I do not have a GMRS license, so I have not paid much attention to it.

I just got my tacoma a couple weeks ago... prior to that I had intended to get a couple 6' lengths of aircraft style (o-track) for my ranger. As it was an open bed, I would ideally have put 2: 6' lengths on the sides of the bed rail with reinforced backer plates behind the sheet metal. I would...

Realistically, it is first come first serve unless the parks service has a site permit system in place. Disappointed though I may be if someone beats me to my intended camping space, they still got there first. As to what should you do if someone shows up when you are the one who got there...

honestly, I would take the sheath and give it a serious cleaning (saddle soap, lexol cleaner, then I would give it a good rubbing with neetsfoot oil). I have made a number of sheathes and holsters over the years and this combination has served me well. that said, you may also wish to consider...

You are on a good path with asking about a used radio... may not have all the latest bells and whistles, but still more likely to give you more bang for your buck. Kenwood is not the only supplier of good radios. (especially if you are buying used) also consider Alinco, Icom, and Yeasu. all four...

thank you... but that is just off the cuff rantings of my opinions... nowhere near ready for broadway, if you really think it should be a BC article, I can see about working on writing something better up, but it would likely take a while before I was happy with it.

That sounds like a bad balance job. I got a set of tires from amazon and took them to the local walmart to get balanced... I soon had trouble with slow leaks... I finally took them to a local tire dealer expecting to have to replace them. turns out the guys at walmart had just failed to clean...

first off, as it was a couple weeks since you started this thread, how did your test go? if still looking for advice on radios, I might suggest giving an approximate budget you would like to stay under, and what bells and whistles you are looking for. I would have more than a few concerns...
