    Annex room with floor

    Hello, I picked up an Ikamper mini and the annex. The floor is "extra" I'm not sure that will meet your needs but it is pretty nice.

    OB License Plate?

    Thats sort of where the idea came from. I poked around and I guess license plate might not be the right name. it looks like rally number plate might be more correct.

    Itchin' for a group of Bay Area regulars

    I'm over is Sunnyvale. I was thinking of putting together a meet up some Saturday. There is a big empty lot by me with a Starbucks on the corner. Would anyone be interested in coming out, having coffee, checking out things folks have done to their rigs, and discussing future road trips?

    Who's stock, and not planning to gear up?

    Believe it or not, Oliver the Land Rover is pretty much completely stock, not bad for something from 1962. The only modification was to remove the propane system (done long before I got it). The upgrades that should happen are to the electrics It still has the 30 amp generator. That means...

    OB License Plate?

    Yeah, it might be a bit silly. But, the object is to make it easier to identify fellow members which would help with more Overland comradely , which could encourage more to join. OK, that's a bit far fetched but it is all in good fun.

    OB License Plate?

    I was walking up to Oliver the other day and noticed that my OB badge is cool but fairly small. Then I took a walk around Oliver, I have three OB stickers on Oliver one each side and the badge up front, and noticed that they were fairly small as well. This all got me thinking, I'm flying down...

    Cheaperlanding

    I like Overlanding on the cheap because working on the cheap usually means keeping it simple. All my gear is stuff I have scrounged modified or adapted to meet a need. If anything breaks I and usually fix it and if I can't I'm not out all that much. It is also fun to find things and then ask...

    Zello PTT App ?

    I had not heard of it until you mentioned it. I'm not sure about the usefulness while out on the trail but it is sure fun to play with around the house.

    What means of communication do you have available?

    My wife and I are both hams so we usually stick with 2m. I have a CB in the car and MURS programmed in a couple of old HTs that we drag around (I think one is starting to fail). We both have cell phones but coverage in got guaranteed.

    Ham Radio - HF/VHF/UHF

    I normally run with a Kenwood TM-V71 and a CB in case I'm with folks that primarily use it. When I'm stopped and set up I pull out the Icom 718. The front antenna has a quick release so I can take off the CB antenna and put on a Hustler. In this photo I have the FT-8900 installed which was...

    Overland Hound

    Buster hanging out in Oliver. he really likes riding in Oliver because we leave a seat down for him to lay on that is just the right spot to hang his head out the window.
