    Jeep Wrangler GMRS

    I've already got an NMO mount on 1 of my Arizona Rocky Road antenna mounts. Not a big fan of drilling the JK roof!

    Jeep Wrangler GMRS

    Thanks, I'll check it out. I only run the antenna when we are actually headed out on an adventure so length isn't a huge concern. That said these antennas are relatively cheap, always good to have options! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    Jeep Wrangler GMRS

    I picked up a Browning BR-180 which is a dual band HAM antenna. While not specifically for GMRS there were enough comments in the reviews that it works fine on GMRS frequencies. Initial testing was good but need to spend some more time with it. I wanted something to work with my HAM radio as...

    Dual battery

    Just keep in mind the red top Optima is a starting battery not a "dual purpose" or deep cycle battery, yellow top Optima would be better and functions both as a starting or deep cycle battery. Either way, I would swap it out for 12v.

    Video Recording & Editing questions

    I've just started playing with Resolve myself for editorial purposes at home. It's sort of ironic as I work in the movie industry producing movie trailers and have spent years over the shoulder of professional editors and colorists observing. We use Resolve in our theaters to color time the...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Moved my rear flood light to a fabbed bracket to make room for a new Ham/GMRS antenna: Also added a very important member badge! :

    Video Recording & Editing questions

    Thanks for the info. I was having a strange issue where my computer was not seeing my camera as a hard drive which is why I was asking. It's an older Sony and Sony's software no longer supports it. I tried again this weekend and I was able to see it as hard drive and pull my files off. I...

    Video Recording & Editing questions

    Can you import AVCHD files directly from the camera into Premiere? Great videos by the way!

    Solar Panels

    I have the dual batteries in the Jeep as well, big plus to keeping the fridge running. Sounds like we have a similar setup, I do the same with the panels between Jeep and trailer but like you said trailer draw is so small, I have yet to need to plug in the solar even when camped for 4 days or...

    Solar Panels

    Folding 100 watt on the ground for me so I can move it around to go with the sun. I have found that in less then ideal sunlight, having the right angle to the sun makes a big difference. I also tend to put the trailer itself in the shade where possible. The solar is mostly to keep the ARB...

    Offroad trailer hitches

    Another vote for Max Coupler, silent and works flawlessly.

    RTT Dumb question Alert...

    We've been in a couple of severe wind events out in Death Valley with our CVT RTT and had zero issues in what were probably 40-50mph gusts. We even had dinner in the Annex when a storm came up out of nowhere. It seemed to fair much better then some of the ground tents nearby. I didn't bring...

    OB Frequencies List

    I noticed the GMRS frequency is blank, I know quite a few folks that use these but not of any standard channel for trail comms. Curious if a particular channel was used on any of the trail runs at the Off the Grid Rally, etc.?

    Curious if anyone else in the convoy is pulling an exp trailer? We will be towing this:
