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.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Recieved my HOLMAN 85 S 'jump pack. Bought this model due to it's extreme low temperature design use, along with it's good reviews and being able to be used on larger pickup truck diesel engines. Peace of mind when out in the sticks, as I have seen some solo exploration problems with dead...

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

    I have bad luck with batteries. I can get 2, maybe 2.5 years on one, but never 3 with the exception of the original Ac/Delco OEM set. Batteries, at least those considered standard and not specialized (read $$$) are what I buy as that 2 year age limitations come into play. Tried the red top's...

    New Midland MXT275 (GMRS Mobile)

    I had heard about this new unit, and would have seriously considered it, if I had not already invested in the MXT 275 original model. On trail, I really like the mic setup this model has. Definitely something to seriously think about if your contemplating a GMRS mobile radio. PS: Waiting to...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Installed new 'classic style tow mirrors. My 2003 had the OEM accordion style, which even with NOT adjusting very often, had shimmy (loose) and adjustment motor burnout on at least 3 occasions. I got tired of repair, as it seemed a stop-gap situation, with a bad end-game. Installed...

    Interesting Fuel Price Article

    For awhile a few years ago, Sinclair stations were offering 5% bio diesel as their regular fair. I guess it was not a hit. I used it to help keep my fuel system cleaner, and periodically used a biocide? additive also when I filled the tank. Because I had the LB7 engine with early injector...

    Best mobile air compressor unit for Overland travel?

    If the 400 model has the same dimensions as the 88P model, then use a surplus 400 round ammo can. This is what I use, and it has room for the 6 foot extension hose and some small accessories. Water proof and offers good protection to the unit.
