Agreed. I read a lot about onX last night and decided to go that direction. I liked the training videos to help with the learning curve. I will say the only thing I dislike initially, mostly out of being a newbie, is that the file size is limited to 4MB. Kent sent me the CDT2023 .gpx file and it...
I just looked at Leadnav and for a $20 lifetime basic version it seems to have most but not all the items one would need. And you are correct, no offline maps. That will cost you $70 a year. But I will wait to see if anyone else is using it and can comment on functionality.
I saw this tire step in a video with the heater sitting on it so I bought it because its cool and has helped me work on my engine and bed area. Now I use it so often I couldn't imagine not having it.

I just finished installing the Vevor 8kw heater in my truck. When I tested it, it was not as noisy as I was expecting. Since the fuel pump is mounted on the frame rail, it is hardly noticeable. If you want a video of the heater running, let me know.
Lets say that this heater is oversized for my...

The Eagle Rising has landed!! Still working all the small items. Most importantly, The Eagle Rising is mounted again!!!!
Swapped the tailgate lock from the old tailgate, reinstalled the Ford emblem and cut/sealed the cap bottom edge. The other day, I finally....finalized the diesel heater. For...
Overlanding: So Close....a few more small items. Another productive day!
Lets see...removed the light bar from the old headache rack and installed it above the rear window. Simple install. I wired it to work with both the upfitter switches in the cab and the rear switch on the solar box. Then...
This morning I had the not much fun of visiting the VA Dental Clinic. I think I am going to call Elon about the utter and complete inefficiency of that govt org. I dont know why it still baffles me.
When I finally got home at NOON....half my day was gone. I got busy slow cooking a Lamb roast...
Am I jumping the gun and the files are not ready to download? Or am I missing something else, a brain perhaps?? The 3 files are "greyed" out on the event page. I get the international red x when I hover over the links.
Moving right along, I started to rethink the diesel heater install. I wasnt overly excited with the initial attempt. Rightfully so I am definately worried about Co2 coming back in the cap. The heater exhaust exits right at the trucks exhaust tips so I might be worrying about nothing. I will most...
Lets just say that I am happy with how everything is moving along. Around 0900, I decided to test the functionality of the solar charging.
Overcast morning but the sun came through and was hot. I really didnt have a test formula but I just walked the dog so to speak. Charging with the truck...
Lets just say, I am really excited about this trip. I just went through all the points on the map and am excited to see all the areas you chose. I can't wait....I am sure I will have a few questions along the way!!
The best part is that this will be my first "official" trip with my new rig build.
Solar box disconnects finished!
Another productive day. Transferred a new Glock17Gen5 to my son, garbage run full of those pesky card board boxes from CHRISTmas and finished the solar box disconnects so the modular build can keep moving along. Tomorrow I will finish insulating the roof and...
Tracking. My bumper is not that high so I will have to think about this one. Being that I am so high (F350) I will definitely need something like this!! Thanks much
What a productive day.
