Had to trouble shoot my SPOD knockoff. Turns out that the guy who put it together couldn't figure out how to wire up rockers in parallel... Needless to say its good to go and I now have a functioning 6 switchs :)
Being active duty military, in a country that doesn't embrace off-roading in any sort of sense of the word and having 18 month olds twins to top it off....I mostly live vicariously through you all.
All great info OP, coming from a service member stationed overseas, I’d also add the following:
Always carry local contact info for the closest hospital/Embassy/local police department
Know how to dial local numbers. i.e 911 is different in each country
When trying to blend in, be mindful...
Welcome to the forums! There is a Mid Europe section here where folks can plan local meet ups. What city in France? I'm less than a hr from the French/German boarder.
Leatherman Skeletool in the center console for everyday use. I also have a Leatherman MUT in my easy to reach vehicle tool bag along with their bit kit.
I was merely down the road from Saarbrucken, I'm in Kaiserslautern if you ever head back out this way. What was your route? If you end up heading to Normandy, I can recommend some sites since I was recently there this past March.
I'm just north of you in Germany. I'm running an Ipad mini connected to a garmin inreach mobile GPS unit. I like the inreach because it's 1. highly mobile and can be used as a standalone device. 2. Allows for iridium sat connection for texting anyone in the world. 3. has a dedicated SOS feature...
I have the Wrangler Duratrac 245/70/17. I choose this option because I wanted the height gains but I didn't want to trim and I wanted a spare that would fit without any issues.
I miss Denver so bad. I was stationed at Buckley AFB in Aurora for a few yrs. Make sure to check out garden of the gods and pikes peak, and Golden, CO. Hope I get back out there soon.
