Awesome! That’s kind of the time frame I keep seeing, but wanted to hear from you all on this forum. Thanks!!

Hey guys - I'm researching for doing this trip myself this summer. Sounds like you all are well-versed, that said... When is this usually open of snow? What is a "good time" usually to plan for this adventure? Thanks!

I like this set up. I was just thinking of having a jerry can for fuel along with my water.

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...

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...

Very familiar where Dallesport is, I grew up in Lyle.

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.

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...

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...

Oh good to know!

VERY MUCH NON Radio NERD

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.

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?

Thoughts on the ghost midland antenna?

Just bumping thread to see if any more activity.
