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.
