Only periodic maintenance, I don't leave any kind of trail my wife can follow and find out how much I really spend. Ha ha Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

I have lost Comet, Kenwood, and Diamond antennas in the past. Washboard roads loosen them up fast. I now carry 2 spares and they are cheap Tram antennas. The one on my jeep has stayed put the longest and I check it periodically. Today at work I lost the element on my dual band coming down from...

I have the obox for the 6+, only issue is rain gets under screen cover at the forward facing camera. Other than that it has done its job. Have had it for a few years now and dropped it countless times. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I cannot use the gps on the inreach explorer+ with my iPad. I have a Dual that works, but cannot figure out how to make the inreach work. Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

Haven’t been to New Idria in years. Looks the same. There used to be some pretty sketchy people around there. I do drive Panoche Road once in a while. The Panoche Inn is a great place to stop if it hasn’t been sold. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

My travel trailer has the same info on a sticker by the door. Like my dad told me, he’ll be laying on his death bed next to a vegetarian who is also on his death bed. The vegetarian will be wondering what killed him, and my dad will know what killed him. Eating what he wants and doing what he...

Just drove through Lone Pine yesterday and the temp was in the high 70’s. Beautiful and sunny. Hopefully you get similar weather. Last year Kent R and I had to change some plans on what trail we were going to take due to snow still not melted. It was in June and east of 395, what a difference a...

I remove mine whenever I go out for more than a day. I have a 2 door JK and it’s a piece of cake to remove. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I still have a CB in the Jeep and work truck. They are there mainly for getting traffic/road conditions. You have to filter through the truckers banter, and if you have young ones with you or foul language is an issue you might want to stay clear of certain channels. Sent from my iPhone using...

At the end of the evening the last thing I do is turn on a light right outside of my tent or trailer which ever I’m using to draw the bugs out of the inside. It helps. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

I had one on my F150 4x4, it dug in at even the slightest approach angle. I put a small 2" budget lift that helped some. It was for a Warn winch I had. If I mounted the winch on the front receiver it stuck out too far even shallow dry wash crossings. Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

I bought a no name tailgate table for my jeep. The picture looked just just like the big name version. When I opened the box it was exactly the same and actually had the name brand on the instructions. And at 1/4 of the cost. Sent from my iPad using OB Talk
