    SOLD SOLD- Ruggedized Tepui Autana RTT - SOLD

    I have a 2017 Tepui Autana 3-Person Roof Top Tent and annex with the latest mattress upgrade. Tent has been slept in maybe a few dozen nights total but never on Playa or in heavy weather. I really love how heavy the canvas is on this tent. I've been in below freezing temperatures and...

    FOR SALE Stockton, CA - Optima Blue Top, Used $100 - Local delivery/pickup

    I've got 3 lightly used Optima Deep Cycle Blue Top batteries that I just removed from my boat. Model # D27M. No corrosion. I replaced them because I had 1 bad one in the bank of 4. I've already scrapped the bad one. Being a boat, I figured that I'd rather change out all the batteries than get...

    Mobile Ham Radios and LED lights

    That is a great idea. I'll try that tonight. I've been messing around with antenna locations and found that there is more noise if the antenna is on a mag mount vs if the antenna is on a permanent mount on the bed of the truck.

    Mobile Ham Radios and LED lights

    Yaesu FTM400 grounded to chassis, receiving switched power through a SwitchPro 5100. I'll try direct to the battery this weekend and check if there is a difference. I'll also check to see if the switched auxillary LED lights attached to the SwitchPro have any effect when they are powered on or off.

    Mobile Ham Radios and LED lights

    Thanks for the suggestion! I was thinking that I might have to choke all of the different LED lights, but I'll try choking only the antenna and see how that works.

I was playing around with my radio in my truck the other night, listening to a group of guys talking on a repeater located on Mt Diablo, I'm in Stockton 40 miles away. Everything was coming in pretty clear until I turned my headlights on. As...

    Which tablet or Laptop?

    I run a Samsung S4 with Backcountry Navigator PRO and its absolutely fantastic. I have all of California and Nevada saved to the highest detail and still have plenty of storage. Mount the entire thing on a ram mount and I've never had a problem. Grabs GPS quickly an has a really great battery life.

    Rugged Radios....Yes or No?

    I bit the bullet and bought one so I could chat with some of my off road racing friends when we were in the deep desert. Range was good, but I'm way happier that I'm now using a HAM.

    I'm so damn jealous... If anyone is in a pinch and looking for amber lights, I have a rear chase bar made by KC, never installed for $380, no installation brackets. I also have a couple of new amber cyclones for $30 each. I can order up replacements later. I'm in Stockton, but if you need it...
