    Dealer Protection Packages

    Good post. The statement COULD end right there. Nitrogen is a frigging joke pulled on people who know no better. Unless you are in NASCAR or driving on the surface of the moon, Nitrogen is a gimmick of no value to the consumer.

    We Got Comms

    What antenna specifically is that, please? Midland's site for the 115, 275 and 400 show a short whip type. Same for RightChannel. It’s the Midland Ghost 3db. I got the same small antenna with the 275. It comes with the package. Got the Ghost on Amazon. Be sure you buy the lip mount bracket...

    US West For Sale Craftsman Tool Boxes

    Love those old 60's 6512 - type rectangular Craftsman toolboxes. I have two, and a larger 80's Rally Box. I'm all the way on the east coast, so ours are usually somewhat rusted. These look near perfect Someone jump on these

    Whoa FCC ? Can't finish

    I dont get why we need an FRN in order to purchase a GMRS license from the Federal government. It's not as if we dont pay the feds $ all the time for services and documents without an FRN. They take our tax money without an FRN (for individuals of course). Anyone know why? Do you have to do the...

    2014 Silverado 1500 Build

    Nice build. Everything you need. Nothing you don't. I like the original grey wagon wheel style rims. I've got the same gen Sierra and plan to use those rims when I upgrade my tires. The k2500 tow mirrors are a nice touch too. That's something else I would like to do

And, the did not spray down into the inside of the truck bed cylindrical cross member. I would have cleared tha dirt a d sprayed down that...

    Dealer Protection Packages

    Rust proofing doesn't work, but do it yourself? A little contrary, there, sir. And I can attest, living in New England, rust "proofing" (prohibitor) does prolong the life of the frame and body of your vehicle when done properly. When not done properly. It can still help a lot. Fluid film is...

    Was there a convention in Massachusetts yesterday?

    I'm driving through Watertown Mass yesterday when I see a metallic tan Sprinter style van in front of me. I notice a spare on the back, thermal covers over the rear and side windows, what I beleive are solar panels on the top, and the unmistakable black cylindrical GMRS antenna mounted on an arm...

    Dealer Protection Packages

    Oddly I would think the rust I inhibitor may be worth it while extended warranty often is not. Plus, if you change your mind on the extended warranty you can bet they will be happy to sell it to you 3 years down the road. I wouldnt go with black rubberized underbody. Some sort of clear coat or...

    Absolute bare essential gear for overlanding

    I also just use a tarp for a shade. I usually carry 2 or 3 cheapo blue ones. I use one for ground cover, one over the tent if I'm renting, and one a an awning from the truck or Jeep to a couple of trees. But I like the idea of a canvass one set aside for an awning

    Show me a Road Sign.....really any sign...

    Mile zero is in Florida. There's a mile zero in Ft Kent too...usually the only mile-mark one direction. Both Ft Kent and Fla claim to be the beginning and not the end. Interesting history to the road and the adoption of the New England system of road marking
