I just connected the dots, this event is the weekend before the Annual Rising Sun 4x4 Clubs "Cruise Moab"! I might have to extend a little vacay and attend my first C/M event! Good timing.

I've heard good things about this as a simple controller. This would probably be my next update if I were to go from the homemade controller that I've had for 12 years. Dan.

This is some great info comparing the two. Additionally, Michael made a great tutorial video that makes moving tracks that you make it Google Earth to a .gpx file. It really simplifies the process of using G/Earth and then using a Garmin for the real world work of following where you want to go..

Would the plan be to go up or down RGH? If it's down, I've seen somewhere a write-up where a nut-job in an '80 series took a trailer down and survived!

Sorry for the late reply, yes I still have it! Unboxed, ready to go. I won't know how much to ship unless I take it to a place to have it packed and estimated. If you would give me $950 for it, I will pay for shipping /insurance. DM me and let me know. Thanks, Dan.

Looking forward to this trip, I'm gonna commit and put it on the calendar! Hoping I have the nerve to take the trailer on Rose Garden Hill by then... Dan.

Stop FJ production, no 70 series here, now this. :expressionless: :disrelieved:

It's true that the T-100 was unique to North America, however it was pretty much a parts bin truck except the sheet metal. That said, I would do your due-diligence on everything (on any vehicle) before embarking on a trip like that. You seem to be concerned about the engine? Do a thorough...

So this would make the MXT400 price tag around $188! Not a bad dealio! 40 watts! Seems to have some good reviews, i do like the compact-ness of it, but again, I defer to the list of cons - no more dash real estate remains! 1st world problems!

I love the 2nd gen 'Runners, but that 3.slow motor gives it a bad taste. I'm always on the lookout for the somewhat rare 2 door version, I want to do the Cummins 2.8 diesel swap. That would be a fun and unique rig! Dan.

Have you seen this? @Michael made a video... Dan.

No experience with HF, but look at Smittybilt as well for a reasonably priced, somewhat popular winch.

...oh. now I get it.

I don't know the maker, but this looks like it falls into the category of "damage multiplier" to me. Why would you need such protection over your hood like that? And how to get the hood up? Looks fierce but function is certainly for a very specific need if not entirely useless. Just my 2c.

Not at all unpopular, in fact this seems to be the prevailing thought on trail comms. Decide what works best for the group. People don't really want or need another hobby and that's really what this is if you take it that far. I'm not sure it's "science-y" but certainly gets as technical as...

Previously we took a stock Chev Colorado through there when it was 35-40" deep with no problem for him, I don't think you'd need a snork for that. The bottom of that crossing is solid, set up a good bow wave and keep your speed up and you should have no problems. You will want to evaluate the...

Wow, that's a lot of models, goes way back in time and a huge quantity to recall. I might get 3 new fire extinguishers out of this!

Haha, thanks for the link! I can't believe you were motivated enough to go that length for me! I tried to find when I actually paid for it but got busy and gave up! I like your idea for mounting / use and it is NOT a bad price for the capability, still weighing the options. You think the...

GMRS... hmmmm. I like the idea, but as with any radio, it takes two. And I've had the most success with Ham radio lately, convincing my two sons and a friend to get their Ham license in order to have reliable and functional trail comms. Let me think a minute... Reasons I might get this: -...

First... YES! Second, what kind of noises? Be more specific. They could be typical or they might be a warning of loose things about to go bad! Is it the seat track? Is it in the back? Have you had trim pieces off the inside? Trim clips are notoriously cheap and should be replaced if they...
