When I see people talking about $7.25 and $5 something a gallon, I feel like I shouldn’t complain. It’s $3.99 for regular here in SC right below Charlotte, NC. And $4.49 for premium.
Yeah I'm thankful it's only ~$4.00 here at the moment. Just hope it stops climbing for everyone's sake.
Don’t want to get too deep into the why (bc politics) …but I think having to pay a little more for gas during this time is better than funding Russia’s war on Ukraine. Although, there are other ways to lower our gas prices.

I'm right there with you (as well as staying out of the politics aspect).

Its $4.09 up here in Concord. Makes it just not worth it to make that drive.
Yeah, all my family lives up there. Gold Hill/Albemarle/Kannapolis and it puts a hurting on my wallet to visit from here. Hopefully it doesn’t last too long.

Bought: a 100W solar "suitcase" for keeping the house battery (fridge) charged while camping.
Plan to get: A smaller, lighter, maybe 50W solar panel to use to top off the vehicle battery at home while my HKB voiltage controller from OZ sits at the USPS LAX facility for 4 months and counting. No 120VAC where my 4Runner parks at home.

Just got back into the country after a six week adventure in Baja California, and had a little bit of a splurge over the last few days. All of the items were needed now that we have been living full-time on & off the road. Part of it was also due to the fact that the day after Expo West we are off to do Canada & Alaska! So here is the list:

* Premium Power on board Welder with the Bun Trail Welder (Spoolgun) attachment.
* Total Chaos Upper Control Arms.
* SPOD Bantum 8 circuit switch system, with the add a system box
* Redraw Manager 30 BCDC
* Battle Born Batteries internally heated 100AH Lithium batteries
* Powerbrake 6 piston (front) big brake kit

Is that an “ammo can” sized box mounted under the hood of a 4Runner? I have one of those ammo-can compressors that I tried to mount there. But, I couldn’t seem to get it to fit without moving a bunch of stuff. It was close, though.

I never tried an angle like that. Did you make a bracket to mount that? Nice install, BTW.

Just bought a Baofeng GT-3WP for my Dedicated VHF/UHF Spotter HT. I like that it's waterproof because I'm usually in the thick of it when spotting.
Still to come: AluCab Explorer Cap is over halfway paid now!

we just bought a patriot X1 and are headed to Utah to pick it up on 4/1 I do have a complete 23Zero 62 Walkabout with annex and awning that was only used 4 times to sell. Is there a buy/sell feature to OB that you can direct me to so that I can post it to OB members before sending it out to the masses.
