    Suspension Q?s

    Now that I have my new CBI rear bumper + my front bumper, tent, etc. It's time to also upgrade the suspension. I think I have it down to two Dobinson options: The IMS or the MMR 3 way. Both I would put the 700- 800 lb rear springs. Another Q? to do the long travel shocks or just mid? Thanks...

    Rear Bumper Accessories Help !?!

    I recently installed the CBI dual swing bumper to my 5th Gen 4runner. Now I would like to see people's set up on their rear bumpers. I can visualize it better now that my bumper is actually on my 4runner. It looks like the two main set ups are Jerry Cans in a little box set up OR rotopax. I...

    I need your help! Choosing a mobile unit: MXT575 VS KG-1000G

    I got my KG1000 installed. Thanks Lolo Overland In Troutdale,OR. I think it really looks great. I also have the large antenna you all recommended for longer trips.

    I need your help! Choosing a mobile unit: MXT575 VS KG-1000G

    Thanks for everyone's help choosing a radio. There are so many options, it was nice to hear others' thoughts/ideas. There are only so many things I could get from Youtube. I have ordered the KG-1000G, the Comet CA2x4sr antenna, and the Gamiviti bracket for my driver's side. I also tried to...

    Best small propane firepit?

    I went with the Ignik Fire can and it functions flawlessly on my trips. I did add the fire rocks which adds a bit of weight. Probably not for a big group. I reached out to their customer service since my booklet said it should have a fire deflector and they responded via email within 24...

    I need your help! Choosing a mobile unit: MXT575 VS KG-1000G

    Thanks, the ease of use is definitely something that has me leaning towards the Midland radio. That is why I'm in such a pickle! Options VS Ease of Use is a big pain. I'm sure I am overthinking this issue... but I just want to get what is right for my situation. Thanks for your input.

    I need your help! Choosing a mobile unit: MXT575 VS KG-1000G

    Do you have to tune the comet antenna? I was thinking of mounting the antenna off my ditch lights. I have read this can give interference, but only when those lights are on? What about the Comet lip mount? Any experience with that?

    WABDR partial run completed, Stevenson to Ardenvoir 6/30-7-4 2022

    I just finished sections 1 and 2 until Nile because of the fire closures. It was a ton of fun. Mosquitos are still a nuisance around Tahklakh Lake... then add in flies and bees! Still cold at night too even in August! Can't wait to explore more sections in the future.

    I need your help! Choosing a mobile unit: MXT575 VS KG-1000G

    I didn't see a thread quite like what I was looking for... so I started a new one. I think it is time to break down and put a mobile GMRS in my 4runner. I have a KG-935G handheld but making sure it is charged on a trip, etc. and wanting more power, I have decided it is time to add a...
