Bump, since I couldn’t find this thread back earlier

I’m wondering if people don’t have them already then. Sometimes I’m picking weird noises, I just figured it was a modified roger beep or custom sound effect.

How would that FM transmission impact a traditional AM CB radio? Would it just trigger the gate but not have any tone? In Texas, there are still hobby CBers and many of the local commercial trucks still chat on it. I get a lot of traffic info on my daily commute from the CB.

Hey Michael, can you revisit this aggressiveness issue? Since the map is now the default on loading, I often can’t get to the app to recognize the forum icon was pressed fast enough after hitting cancel on the location. Thanks

I built a little camper box in a 5x8 utility trailer that we can all fit in. It holds a standard Queen sized mattress with room for an indoor heater or air conditioner on one side and shelves for clothes on the other.

The smaller blocks have a hole that the nail head won’t fit through but it’s a little wobbly. The wobble helps line things up

@Jdmart rounded off galvanized nails captured between two 2x4s. The boards also have measurements for the distance from the end of the truck bed so I get the placement right the first time. The holes are drilled so they sandwich together for safe transport.

I went straight from high school into college and busted as to get a 5 year degree done in 3.5. I’ve had more fun being done with it all. While you are out and about, read historical markers, pay attention to the geology and wildlife, take lots of pictures, even of things that don’t seem super...

@Jdmart Howdy from the other thread, if you haven’t already, it’s easy to lift that kodiac tent. I built 3” risers that replace the metal base. It gives a lot more headroom.

Howdy from DFW as well.

No, at least not what I’ve seen. I threw out the trades of many people I’ve known. Those were a variety of dedicated trades, many years of development before they could start moving around. Your initial post did not indicate you had taken that step. Even for them, gig living has boom and bust...

I've seen plenty of nice little RV parks and marinas with full time engineers, software developers, nurses, welders, etc. making up the majority of guests. In my strange experience, it is more common than many realize and can be done very affordably. KOAs are typically very well run and built...

Moved the axle from inside the leaf springs to outside the leaf springs for a 3 inch lift on the camper.

Yeah, and try it out a few times first. Don't mess with it if it doesn't need it. The trailer might do just fine. Sometimes just changing the arrangement of gear can have a surprising effect on road manners. I'd also try high ratio tires and the right air pressure within reason before...

I don't think there is a such thing as overkill for an axle, just over springing which decreases the life span of camping gear and can occasionally increase the mortality of carbonated beverages. You can compensate with reduced tire pressure but that only does so much. The tires and suspension...

Torsion are cool and have applications where they cannot be beat, but I prefer regular axles on leaf springs because I can isolate variables more easily. A light weight trailer can easily be built with light suspension on a heavy duty 1 ton truck axle from a junk yard, you won’t get the same...

Yep, something about the last few years. I’ve had previous sets not give me or others this issue, but they were not 265/70-17. My current BFGs are getting remounted on old steel wheels for beach, nasty trail and ranch use. No wet weather problems but they must be out of round because they’ll...

There’s a good thread somewhere with pics of kitchens and cook boxes. Mine seems to change a little each trip. Depends on your tastes, cooking styles, and preferred prep time/effort levels.

Tom Cole, look in the US southwest meets. I’m having trouble with my phone copying the link right now. Usually titled West Fort Worth. Edit https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/posts/595804/
