HI Jeff - used to live in Austin. Have an overlanding buddy who lives out in Lago.

Went great. Waiting for my new call sign to be generated on the database. I think I have narrowed the question down to a dual band mobile inthe truck, and a handheld CB. Maybe a GMRS also. That should do it and keep things clean and simple.

Thanks!

Howdy!

Congratulations on your license! CB does seem to be the most popular amongst the off road set - especially Jeep clubs. Its simple and familiar to most. In the convoy, its probably real effective. NOt the best for calling out in an emergency, so it would be nice if someone in the group could...

Some thoughts on radios for overlanding.... CB: low power, sometimes crowded, although the throngs seem to be fading.... GMRS: Much higher power, relatively new, not in widespread use yet... 2M: distance limited, but useful, higher power... UHF 70cm: Also distance limited, but higher...

Here is my latest Overland rig - although its really a 4x4/offroad build. Bobtails just aren't really overlanding vehicles. Yeah, I know Jeep guys will argue this one. Anyway, I'm leaving the Jeep world on this one and going to Toyota.

So..... Having been a former ham operator (Novice Class - way back when), I leaned toward getting my ham license again for my truck build. I have not been satisfied with the CB I had in my old Wrangler, so, even though I would not abandon CB, I wanted to get more range and functionality than...

Can you specify the wheels and tires? Any other shots from different angles?

Post pics of your Sequoia rigs - looking for ideas for my build....

I found a lift that retains the rear air suspension. I forget the company name, but I bookmarked it. The lift is not the critical factor on this truck - its surprisingly capable. It has 32s stock, and I can go to a 33 with a slight lift at some point. All I need to do (Camel Trophy style) is...

Moving on from the Jeep world. Here is the truck “before”. This will become an overland rig. I’ve driven a Range Rover. These are missing a few gadgets but they will do everything the rover will. Here's the plan - basics first. This is a fantastically capable truck stock. So Im doing things...

Hi! Thanks! Ill post and so forth as I go for sure....

Here's the Wrangler rig:

HI I'm a new member to the forums and will probably join OB as well. Looks like a fun community. I'm a former Navy Officer with a history of Jeeping - I have had 15 Jeeps. I restored an 87 Wrangler to be the off roader of my youth, but I find Im increasingly dissatisfied with the off road...

Maybe I should get both - 2 is 1, 1 is none.

Which is most common in the membership? 2M or GMRS?
