Totally true, most people I know don't use their callsign if they have one or not. Maybe over repeaters but definitely not simplex. I still think it would be cool to have a spot for it on the profile because A) It's nice to know who else uses GMRS as it is gaining a lot of popularity...

The rear bumper is important to me because I want better clearance, a hitch, and a tire carrier. I have looked at trailforged but a lot of their stuff is DIY, and I don't weld. So I'd have to get someone to do that for me. I am also looking for someone local to do some type of custom fab work.

Looks Great! What is the rear bumper you have?

Thanks! I am debating whether I want to trim the fenders or add flares. I live in PA, and technically, I do not comply with the law because they are strict on tires and fender flares. I have to put stock tires on to get it inspected every year. In theory if I add flares like the Bushwacker ones...

Updated my first post with current pictures.

Yes, I'll post some later this week hopefully. The worst part is the stock bumpers. I probably trimmed an inch or so of the body. the wiper reservoir will need to be moved at some point too. As for the rear, I haven't touched it yet, but it is right on the edge. The only saving grace is that...

Last weekend I added quick-release rear seats. This was an easy mod, but it allows me to quickly remove the rear seats, which gives me another 7-8 inches of room in the back. I eventually want to create a sleeping platform, but I am going to make it sectional so that I can continue using the...

I've been wanting to make a build thread for a while. Unfortunately, I have already done some work on my Jeep, so I won't write much on that stuff. I'll answer questions of course! I want to have this as a place to document future modifications. I'll leave this first post for a list of...

This is my preferred method.

Welcome, I'm digging that Toyota!

I don't think it's killing itself. Look at any other hobby. They are all the same in this respect. People always make it seem like you need to spend a ridiculous amount to get started. The truth is you just have to plan a trip and go. Lots of people overland in their stock vehicles. They do what...

I use whole beans, Knock Feldgrind, Aeropress, and a kettle. Throw the kettle in the fire (I also have a jet boil for a backup if there is no fire.) Grind while the water comes to a boil. Aeropress for great coffee! Even though this is simple, I have impressed many people with how good it can...

Welcome Suzette! I've often wanted to plan a trip to explore MT.

I recently bought an Exped MegaMat duo Sleeping pad to use in the back of my Jeep Grand Cherokee. This past weekend was the first time I got to use it. It was fantastic. I wanted to share my experience here. SETUP: First of all, when I got to camp, it was super easy to set up. You roll it out...

U.S. Marine Infantry Mortarman 0341 2012-2016. I was in Iraq and Syria in 2014 when ISIS decided they wanted to rear their heads. Also been to 22 other countries during my time in service. It was a great blessing.

One major benefit of going with the long arms is the fact that you can adjust the axel slightly forward so that you won't have to trim as much behind the tire. Although I don't know what they will be like with 3" of lift. With 4" the long arms are at about the shorted position they can be. They...

My tires are 305/70R16. on the road, they're not too bad but occasionally they do rub so I have been looking into trimming. I only got the lift and tires on a few weeks ago.

Thanks for all the details! I have a 4" lift from IRO with long arms and I am going to need to do some trimming around the fenders and bumpers as well. So I will probably do something similar to what you did. I also really like how you mounted the antenna for your CB.

After I saw the price on that thing I am considering getting one... That's not a bad deal at all.

Looking forward to trying this connection out. I've been working on my jeep on and off for the last few months since COVID hit, so I have been out of commission. I need an alignment but once that's done I'll be ready to get back out on the trail. I also didn't know that the MABDR was open to...
