  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Trip/route planner

    Today was my first run with new gear on my jlur. I took my dog on a run from. Sedalia down to Woodland Park on Rampart Range road then up to Pikes Peak and back. Found some rattling and stopped a couple time and broke out the tools. Now "Old Yella" is happy and quiet. One interesting note. I...

    The best winch for the buck.

    Like you, I am looking for a good winch for my jeep. There are a lot out there. But, I have settled on a Warn Evo 8s. Although it can't be operated submerged like it's big brother, I will make the investment. One of the best considerations my friend told me was, why would in buy a 300 dollar...

    Looking for a 4G to WiFi hotspot

    For years I had a wilson cell booster with and mag mount antenna on the roof of my work truck. This was critical as I managed construction and upgrades to cell towers all over Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. Obviously, mag mount antennas are far from optimal. That said, a Wilson Cell Booster...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Hmmm last thing I bought was a tool roll to cut back on unnecessary junk. I'm still refining my tool list. Kitchen sink is not an option.

    Thank you to all overland folks who I saw today at the mountain west expo. You are all awsome. Whether just showing off your rig/outfit or simply offering a cold bottle of water, your kindness means the world to me.

    Ham mobile thoughts

    Here is an interesting question, can you use the internal gps of the tm-d710ga and connect to an iPad running gaia? Or should I just use BadElf?

    GMRS basics info

    Good morning, CB is not dead. But as more overlanders move to HAM or GMRS it is slowly fading. Likewise there are fewer long haul and short haul truckers on CB. I see the switch there as well. My jeep still has both CB and HAM for now. Willy

    Ham mobile thoughts

    Both the Kenwood and the Icom meet my capability target. Since my trail buddy is running a Kenwood I may go that route. Still undecided. Willy

    Ham mobile thoughts

    I am doing research on a good dual band or better vehicle mounted Ham radio. The Kenwood TM-D710GA looks good as does the Icom 27 series. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    CB radio

    Ever heard of PACE? Getting out and away from the uncivilized civilization means creating redundancy. Whether, food, water, shelter, transportation, or communications, you need a plan. Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency everything. Never rely on just one item because it will fail...

    $35 Amateur/GMRS radio fees

    Just go to the FCC ULS ( Universal Licensing System) page. Search by name. You should find it within days. Then print it. You are done. Hard copy mail might take awhile. But if you aren't setting up a radio shack all you need is the license. BTW, good idea to program your callsign to pop...

    Passed my test!

    First steps into HAM. Welcome. If you are just using the short whip that came with your baofeng, consider adding a nagoya flexible whip. May not be the best for in vehicle. Longer and thinner. But a serious improvement of range and clarity. There is also a telescoping version. I have both.
