Who DOESN'T use an ad blocker these days?! :D

Indeed, don't worry about paper specs too much, look more at the features/functions you want and set a budget. No problem starting out with an inexpensive radio (Though there are folks out there that will scoff at certain brands and some that will complain about some cheap radios not actually...

Amazon linking is broken on the forums still, I guess. Maybe the smile URL won't be converted? EDIT: Nope, that's broken, too. https://smile.amazon.com/Bingfu-136-174MHz-400-470MHz-Compatible-Transmitter/dp/B07KNY4ZB3

You haven't said what "no start" actually means, either. Engine turns over but won't start? That would be fuel or ignition. Engine won't even turn over? That would likely be an issue with the security/keyless ignition system. That said...

Yup, after the water business it was an arcade and then Coffeetopia, which was someone else, and then when that went south my dad (Ron) took it over and named it Rainbow's End. Small world!

Then you may remember Secret Springs water which later turned into Rainbow's End coffee shop. My dad owned both of those as well as the building (he bought the building back in the mid-80s or so), which I think he sold within the past couple of years so he could retire. We were living off...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll check those out and mark them in Gaia. Side note, I see you're in Boulder Creek. How long have you lived there for? I basically grew up there (from like 10 years old until I was 17, 1986-ish to 1993-ish).

Slight route change (possibly). It's looking like we won't be heading through WY as my wife and her cousin will be doing their backpacking trip separately which means a much shorter route to MT from where we live. We'll likely venture into northern WY but largely stick to MT and maybe some of...

Did they try to sell you a different tire instead or just say the Wildpeak A/T3w aren't available in that size? In any event, try Simple Tire. Great company, they list the tires and they should be able to verify inventory before you buy. Free shipping (including return shipping if needed) and...

I had no issues with my recent purchase of their 120w solar panel directly from their site. It did take a few days to ship but I wasn't in any hurry.

@KyleGrant I guess the FTM-400 design is good or bad depending on how you want to mount it. Personally, where I have the transceiver mounted it makes more sense to have the mic connect to it rather than the control head, but I can definitely see how for others it would be better to have the mic...

I see you're talking about gain on a GMRS antenna and also talking about receiving NOAA broadcasts. Gain on transmitting antennas is referring to the transmission gain, not receive, and a higher gain antenna is not going to improve your ability to receive. Also, higher gain doesn't always mean...

Something else that is helpful when in a new area and you have little or no internet access but there are repeaters around is having a radio that can scan repeaters for the correct tone ("tone scan"). Uplink and downlink frequencies are only part of the formula and the auto repeater offset is...

As was mentioned, if you're looking for vehicle-to-vehicle communications while traveling with a group then find out what most of the group uses. I find that most clubs/groups use GMRS these days and with more GMRS repeaters popping up there is more widespread use for general comms (Dur, the G...

I run the Wildpeak A/T3w on my Canyon in 275/55R20. Love them!

Sorry to hear you're having issues with such low miles, that sucks! Side note to anyone talking about using ether/starting fluid/etc to help get a Cummins running, be VERY careful with that. The Cummins uses an intake grid heater rather than glow plugs, if you're unlucky then the grid heater...

I did look at the OP before posting my reply, absolutely nothing says that only people in the US or North America can comment or provide their opinions or experiences. You're trying to limit the audience when the OP never made any such request and then telling people not in the US that their...

And yet it's still a valid point even if you don't agree. This forum nor this thread is limited to people in the US or North America, there are people outside North American posting. There are folks that say we shouldn't be complaining because our fuel is so much cheaper than theirs. So to...

Congrats! Sharp looking truck, I'm sure you're going to love it!
