  • 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.

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    Back right out of High School, 1977, I did the CB license thing. Somewhere 'LOST' in some old stash of moved papers is my license certificate with my assigned call sign. Unfortunately it was so long ago, that I can not remember what my call number was. Kind of nice to be one of the 'old...

    SOLD 2 Scepter 20l MFC fuel Cans Olive Drab $70 each Tucson, AZ

    :grinning: Very good quality cans. I bought 3 Scepter water (tan) containers way back when Y2K was coming, along with 3 British water (blk), I still have all of them. Much preferred over commercial products, these surplus containers are tuff. I was also given a (tan) Scepter, like above fuel...

    Windshield Pics...

    Looks like the dirt road, made a fairly good firebreak. Helped them get a upper hand, by slowing it's advance. What another mess this year has been. How much aerial seeding is done to mitigate erosion? CA is where you always hear about mudslides following massive burns. Other states or...

    Why do you like OB?

    And yet, you would think vehicles from Europe would just slide in under our emissions regulations, we being less stringent. I believe it still takes about 2 years of data for the EPA to approve imports on certain drive-trains. I did many years of prototype vehicle testing......Range Rover gas...

    US West Official* OB Las Vegas Thread!

    Are you talking about the trail that goes over the top to Lovell Canyon? The Top where there is that Lone pine tree next to the half sunk ( been there decades) concrete picnic table? If so, It is not for stock rigs. It is so washed out with boulders on the Lovell Canyon side. Went up there...

    Found Rtic Cooler in Oregon

    I'm really surprised or maybe not, that you have not been contacted yet. Either they are not the type of member who goes thru our open forum very often,....OR......It was just a embarrassing situation, and the contents were not worth it, by coming forward. Things happen, and you just have to...

    X-Bull Traction Boards and Mounting System

    SIMPLE, and by using a vertical mount, your basket is fully open for other uses. Could you use a lock type 'KNOB' instead for more security? Another aspect of your design is the ease of doubling it on the other side for true 4 wheel extraction while you maintain your rack space. :grinning...

    ................."and won't use Facebook either. I guess this is my only social media if I can call it that.".............. Basically my thought also. I posted why I joined Instagram......For the OB crowd and other like minded people, after mulling it over for almost 2 years. I am still trying...

    I do not do Facebook either or other media. I did finally do Instagram for access to the Overland Bound page, and under for me.......@desertrunner_lv. PS.........just a few months ago there was a big Rally Point meetup near 160 and Ft apache, so there are OB members here that might be...

    Seeing that your in that area, you could do the state route 160 west (Blue Diamond Rd) from I-15 or Decatur blvd and travel until your at the base of Mount Potasei? You hang a left at the dirt parking lot (pit toilet) building heading south. The trail will take you thru the valley floor...

    Thx, I was not sure. A buddy of mine had a 77 Chevy C10 (full-time auto),....a 203, that he put s electable hubs into, in an attempt to wring a extra mpg or 2 out of. I did like the H-...H lock......L.....L lock transfer case he had in it for real sloppy conditions when needed...

    Outfitting Your Land Yacht -A Guide to Building a Strong, Full Size-¾ -1 Ton, Domestic Rig-

    I get what you mean. Those NP205's are stout and heavy. They were pretty bullet-proof. My prior F 150 (1985) had the OEM skid-plate under it, the same as the Broncos of the same model year. Attached from frame rail to frame rail they were not made from a thick steel. Mine when I bought it...

    Small Block V-8?, dual tanks, 31 Inch tires?..........NICE :hearteyes:. Auto or Manuel?( 3 speed on the tree). Just like the last small 1975? land cruisers (FJ40?), The last year of the small Bronco had all the refinements. I knew 2 people who had the FJ gen LC's, and loved them. I went...

    Phone mounts

    Bingo.....the picture you posted here, is the type (2003 Silverado) I have been looking for. It mounts where I want it to be, as the cup holder style is either to low, or the stalk cup holder type causes too much sway vibration. Looked on Amazon, and they do not show this model. Do you...
