awesome thanks for answering my question! I am having fun playing with the app. Thanks for the work put into it.

How is the app retrieving member location information for the map in the app? What I mean is, when I look at the member map for my area it shows lots of members and what appears to be fairly specific locations, yet most of these members don’t appear to be active on OB, so I’m sure none of them...

I made a roof rack out of superstrut many years ago when I had first bought my Frontier. Attached it to Thule load bars. Can be seen in this ClubFrontier.org thread. Ended up taking it off because...well I'm not really sure. Just ended up wanting to change it out...

Well, for my solar connections directly off the panel I use your standard MC4 connectors. Closer to the aux battery I switch to Anderson plugs. For my main power from the starter battery to aux, and power to my fridge I use Anderson plugs. Anderson plugs are generally going to be your most...

Mine runs 24/7. I have a solar panel on top and a house battery in the back. If I didn't have those things then after a trip I would just clean it out, leave the lid cracked, and turn off.

I don't know the numbers, but I feel like any basic SUV, truck, or Subaru outback 'type' vehicle has plenty of ground clearance with careful driving. Good tires make so much difference as well.

I think in general in the U.S we have seen a huge blurring of the lines between “four wheel driving” and “overlanding”. Four wheel driving is generally an “I want” based endeavor, while IMO when I am camping/road tripping/overlanding it’s an “I need” mentality. As in, I just need to get from...

the fan and compressor make a tiny bit of noise, but are overall very quiet, certainly no squeaking in my model. If it really is your fan squeaking that should be an easy fix. The fan if memory serves is a computer style cooling fan, and cpu guys have been oiling those for a long time with great...

Wow, I just looked at fridge prices and I don't understand what happened to the pricing on the ARB and Dometic fridges. I payed 549.99 for my CFX35 in 2017, which is basically Dometic's ARB equivalent. Now that one or the newer CFX3 version is listed at 900+ dollars. Holy cow.

I have a Dometic CFX 35 and do 2-4 day trips with my wife and kiddo without any problem. If I had 1-2 more kids with me I would consider moving up to something in the 40-50L range, but don’t think it would be absolutely necessary. I have found that if you’re used to using a cooler that you can...

Frontrunner uses a mounting system that puts them on their back spine and they don't seem to have any trouble. As others have said, probably as long as they are quality products.

I don't have any vintage photos at hand as they are all back with family in Maine, but this is a really great thread idea, loved seeing the pics so far.

Pics mentioned in above post.

Hello there. I have an off grid workshop (eventually our home will be completed and reside next to it) and I use the Weboost Connect, links below, and use a Weboost DC power supply converter since we use 12v right now as well, also link below. I wanted to mention this in case you didn't...

FRS is now allowed up to 2 watts on 1-7 and 15-22. I agree with looking into MURS, for trail use the 150mhz band has great range through gentle rolling terrain. With regard to the original post: It's totally going to be about line of sight. In a residential neighborhood your range will be...

I have used both Rotopax, normal cheap cans, and Jerry's of different brands and materials (metal and the polymer jerry shaped container) and the Rotopax by far is the better constructed. I know people occasionally have issue with the mounting brackets with swelling from heat or elevation...

It's basically just a stripped down UV-82. I have two of them and they seem to work fine. At least as advertised. I basically got them just to begin to better understand radio and how to program them. I occasionally will use them out in the boonies on MURS channels (yes yes, illegal) but in...

Just playing the devils advocate.

I guess it's all relative. 36k for an aluminum truck camper is pretty absurd. 30k for a 6ft "offroad" camper trailer is pretty absurd. 4k for a roof top tent is pretty absurd. So maybe a hybrid hard sided roof top tent for 20k isn't all that absurd. It's people on this forum and other...

I do. But I also pretty much always carry concealed anyways. No different when out camping or overlandering. I honestly have almost zero concern that an animal is going to attack, and where we go camping and exploring I have just about zero concern that a human would be a problem either. Nor...
