I like redundancy as well.

I have the Overlander and a tablet running Gaia. I like having both. Gaia is not a plug and play system. You have to D/L maps for where you are going to be. Routes and POIs have to be entered. Gaia does not giver turn by turn directions or any directions at all. You follow a route you...

Be sure to D/L Earthmate to pair with your InReach. The Earthmate maps are really good. D/L Gaia and MapsMe as well.

Two different things. A WeBoost amplifies cellular telephone signal . I stress amplifies the signal , it does not create a signal. An InReach is a Iridium satellite 2-way messaging, tracking and SOS capable device.

Yes for years. Works great when there is a signal to boost.

If you go that way get the external antenna . That was not available when I got my sat phone.

The InReach is data only (messaging) comms. It also has a app Earthmate with mapping that is excellent. The Iridium Sat phone is for voice comms.

Thanks.

Keeping it on ,also allows you to receive messages in real time instead of in a batch whenever you turn it on.

Keeping the InReach off ? I suppose some people don't want to use the battery. Another feature is you can set the InReach to track and it will track your trip. You can have people authorized to see the track .

II don't I was clear but I also carry an InReach with us. I keep it on all the times. That way the device is always connected to the satellites. A side note, I used the InReach to make hotel reservations in Deadhorse while out on the Dalton Highway. In addition to texting , you can send a...

You can rent a Sat phone for a trip if it is not too long. . I bought my Sat phone because the cost of the rental was going to be more than the cost of buying. I get monthly service when I need it. $79.95 for 75 minutes of airtime. Easy to set up before I leave and to cancel when I...

If you have to have a Sat phone get an Iridium . Thuraya is for the Middle East and South Asia. There are all sorts of used InReach devices on Ebay. You can save quiet a bit of money buying a used device. I have an Iridium and an InReach. The Sat phone is for an extreme emergency. The...

Thanks . Looks like the cot touches the walls.

Still the tire would still stick out. I think for all the hassle of trying to make something work it would be easier to just get a purpose built tire carrier.

Looks interesting but I think it would stick out farther than I would like . The trick would be having a tire carrier fabricated.

I have a scan gauge and I monitor voltage, water and transmission temps. You can also set it up to measure MPG but if I cared about that , I would not be driving a Land Cruiser.

I need to decide between the T3 and T4 , I would be by myself on a cot. The T4 is very large when closed up and the T3 a bit smaller. Decisions decisions.

I use a Wilco Solo on my Porsche. I've had it for eight years and am happy with it. The rack is rated for 150lb of weight and you can get highlift and roptopax mounts. Wilco has other models that can carry more weight and accessories. https://wilcooffroad.com/
