I was never sure how big of an issue that was for people not doing extreme things with their vehicle. When in doubt, change it out. Thanks for the reply.

Thank,you for your reply, that’s some good feedback.

You obviously make some valid points. I readily admit I’m no radio expert so I guess file my idea under “good intentions”.

Hey thanks for the reply. I’ve read a few of your build threads and really like your 05. Timing belt is done. How hard is the lower ball joint job? I can DIY decently. Thanks.

Hello. I have the above rig and one of the few items I don’t have a history on is the lower ball joints. I’m aware that there were some catostrophic failures in the past and I don’t believe I have any symptoms of a failing joint. I don’t even know if they are OEM or aftermarket. The vehicle...

Am I correct in assuming pan pan would be spoken in the same manner as mayday? Ex- “break break break- - - pan-pan - - -break break break”.

Stand by one, let me dig into this a little more. thank you.

I appreciate the clarification on mayday vs just assistance. That’s an important distinction. I do not live in Co, I just like to travel there a lot and I’m finding myself enjoying more and more remote destinations. It’s only wise to learn more as I do so. I looked into HAM when I got my...

Hello. I did look thru the comms portion of the boot camp forum where there is an absolute wealth of knowledge with regard to radio use, types, specs, etc. however, one answer I could not find would be an appropriate way to call for help while overlanding. I use radios regularly in my job in...

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I had planned to lay them all on their side, wrapped twice across ways and running the straps under the rack. Then also using front and rear tie downs on my hood and hatch for extra security. I think it’ll work but just wanted an outside opinion in case I’m missing...

Hello everyone, new guy here. I have a 2001 sequoia limited And I’m in the early stages of making it a kayaking and camping set up for my family of 4. I’ve owned the rig for a number of years but due to my sons health issues, it haven’t been a priority. I’m planning to build a sleeping...
