Nice! Looking forward to seeing the install.

Update from yesterday on mine is hopefully by the end of the month. Yaesu is sending 2-3 lots at a time to each store.

I hear you, I chose d) all of the above...haha! I have a mic mount on the grab handle with a ram ball on the side of it for a passenger phone mount. Everything else is on the vector dock using ram mounts, tablet, Inreach, gopro...etc.

You could also go with one of these mounts, it's a pretty slick setup. https://jeepuniq.com/collections/jeepuniq-mounts-for-jeep-jk-2011-2017/products/cobra-75-wx-cb-mic-holder-mount-1118

My two cents, YMMV and all that... I had a Gobi rack on my JK and while it was capable, it did add a certain amount of noise and a noticeable 1-1.5 MPG drop even when empty as I take the RTT off when we aren't using it. Also, under heavy loads even when adjusted properly it can move around a...

Well this is the update from HRO, looks like it's going to be awhile: "we are still waiting on Yaesu to catch up to sales . We currently have over 300 units on back order and 1300 on order. Last check Yaesu claimed mid Feb for the first wave"

My first purchase from HRO as well, I'm going to shoot them an email for a status update.

When I ordered mine it said it would be handled by the Burbank, CA store so I guess whatever HRO store is closest to your ship-to location is where it comes from? I'll hit them up in a couple days if I haven't seen any more order updates from them.

My license appeared in the database much more quickly then I expected and HRO charged my card for the FTM-400XDR this morning, it's turning out to be a pretty good day! haha!

I passed my Technician test this weekend and ordered up an FTM-400XDR to get in on the sale! Thanks for the heads up! Of course, with the current backlog of apparently 18,000 licenses to be processed thanks to the Govt shutdown, it's probably going to be a few weeks before I can get on the...

The horizontal beam pattern is pretty typical for a true fog light, a wide beam close up and low to the ground. If you are a looking for more distance then go with a driving light but also know that in most states you are only supposed to run them with your high beams as the will blind oncoming...

I have the amber version on my Jeep and they work well for me in the fog. They were a drop in replacement for the Jeep fog lights. I've had them for about a year and have zero complaints.

I'm about to to install the Rhino Rack on my JK. I want to be able to move our RTT from the trailer to the Jeep fairly easily so I am working on a solution which may incorporate the Frontrunner quick release RTT mounts on the Jeep side. Pricey, but a friend of mine has them and they work well...

I would avoid the NL system, they don't like the heat. Many threads on Expedition Portal regarding them failing, including the one I started. You'd be much be off with a Blue Sea 7622 ML-ACR which will do the same thing as the NL. Sorry, tried to link it on Amazon but it's not working...

I'm curious as to how bright the handheld display is at night? Does it have a setting to dim it? Thanks.

Nice products but I just couldn't bring myself to drill that many large holes into my hardtop. Good to hear you aren't having issues. I sold off my Gobi, too heavy and the wind resistance is noticable/drop in mpg of 1.5. I think I'm going to go Rhino Rack Backbone with the platform rack and...

The difference is it's continuous versus the InReach which sends at intervals. That said, Glympse appears to be useless without cell service or wifi if what's being stated above is correct. The InReach will work anywhere you have satellite reception. I use the InReach and find it priceless.

Haha! Thanks. Fortunately she's all in for the mods, I'm a lucky man!

Technically it's my better half's, but we picked this 2018 TRD Off Road Premium up from the dealer last week. It's our first Toyota, having mostly owned Jeeps. I'm excited to try it out on the trails, it will be a mild build as we have the Jeep Rubicon for the rougher stuff. We'll upgrade the...

Yup, same here on the tuning with the 75! I've got a full size older Uniden CB in place of the Cobra along with a Midland MXT115 GMRS radio. I've got my eye on the Bearcat 880 (same as your 980 minus SSB) but we've mostly been using the GMRS radio with my travel mates.
