    Static when off

    I’ve got all my off accessory lighting wires to that battery. I’m in coastal cencal so we’ve been getting hit with tons of rain as well. Not sure if that’d do anything to the grounding.

    Static when off

    I’ve had a Icom id5100a in my truck for several months now. It is wired to my auxiliary battery so I can have it on in camp and not worry about killing my starter battery. In the last few days I’ve noticed static coming from the radio base unit when the head unit is off. It has been raining a...

    2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali - viable?

    I’d say don’t rush on the build out. Start taking trips, see what it can do stock and what you’d like to do. Start a list on your first outing of “stuff that’d make this experience better”. Most of us have bought stuff thinking we needed it or whatever then find out you actually don’t,.

    2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali - viable?

    You can absolutely make it work! That’ll be a nice comfortable rig to travel in. I’m not sure what the aftermarket looks like for your truck but I’m sure there is enough out there to build to your desires.

    US West Uncle Toms Cabin

    That sounds awesome! I was deployed up there for 2 weeks on the Mosquito Fire and spiked out at the Stumpy Meadows Res boat launch. Beautiful area. I just recently heard about the snow drives to the cabin.

    Why does every winch bumper for new trucks look like optimus prime's helmet?

    You’re probably already aware but you’ll need to relocate your intercooler to mount a winch. Eventually I’d like to do that and mount a winch but with a more Baja’ish style bumper to give more approach angle especially at the tires.

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    I am considering the purchase of a gun for home defense and overlanding defense especially now that we are bringing my GF sons with us occasionally. I have only fired a handgun once about 30 years ago and obviously have never owned a gun of any type. I am looking for opinions on what would be a...
