great thread. I haven't taken my dog out much but this sounds like something I need to put together for him for when I do. Or if anyone else brings a pup out, and they don't have anything.

I just bought a mobile Icom radio and installing it my Jeep. Besides the added power and range, it's also has power as long as my vehicle has power. I also have a Baofeng HT and it's worked fairly well, but on my last trip I ran out of battery and forgot the charger at home. Fortunately someone...

The North Bay group did that loop back in May. Followed the route from Overland Trail Guides. Overland Routes & Adventures Keep in mind that you can't complete the loop due to a landslide near the Eel River Campground, and will have to cut back on Espee Ridge Road. I doubt it's been repaired...

for some reason, the link to the lights doesn't work. Also, how or where do you power them up again? You're modifying a trailer plug to the lights?

Just bought an Icom 2730A radio, and Larsen antenna. Hopefully it gets here soon and I can install it before I drive to AZ to pick up my pop-up camper.

Sorry, I couldn't make it. Had an emergency plumbing issue at home that I had to deal with. :expressionless: Anyone have any trips planned? I'm going to the Mojave Preserve Trail Guardian event next month. Anyone else going?

I’ll have disagree on the Badlands winch recommendation. I’ve had mine for over 2 years, I’ve used it several times with myself and others, and it’s worked flawlessly. And it was fairly inexpensive too.

Tidied up the wires in the front of my vehicle, and re-routed through the engine bay so it doesn’t look like rats nest.

You seem to have it dialed in on your channel. Why the change?

Setting up camp will be easier by popping the camper too!

I might be able too. It will be a little late since I’ll be coming from the Grand Canyon that day.

People are people and very few are going to be doing A) or B) unless your a HAM hobbyist. But most just want to talk to vehicle in front of them and aren't at all interested in the regulations. I kinda get it. I'm not a fan of e-bikes on the trails. They aren't even allowed on most state park...

yes, but you can program them to run HAM too. disclaimer: not "legally" but it's a common and easy update.

Ha! not saying they're valid/legal but they are being used. A lot. And they are cheap. crappy? meh, they seem to do the job. Also anyone can buy one of Amazon, download the software and "update" it to work on both GMRS and HAM frequencies.

Communicate, as in, have cell reception?

what about the "programmed" handheld Baofengs?

I had a stock '98 Tacoma for 20 years that took me to all sorts of fun spots. You'll be fine.
