    GMRS Radio!

    Correct. Tune to that channel and enter the CTCSS Tone. Depending on the radio you may need to make sure it's set for repeater operation. It transmits on a different frequency than the channel frequency for repeaters. If it says "Open System" in the repeater info on MyGMRS.com there's no...

    GMRS Radio!

    Not going to reach it with a mountain between you. Line of sight and all. Otherwise, being UHF it would work like a HAM radio repeater...dependent on terrain, elevation, and transmit power. Try to hit it from the top of that mountain.

    Wanted looking for a small air compressor

    Most everyone I wheel with uses ViAir. Best bang for your buck. Inexpensive and a reliable little workhorse. The higher models just get it filled quicker. No real need for that. I've seen the 88 air up 3 trucks in a row without breaking a sweat.

    DFW to Barnwell Mountain , Gilmore, Tx 1/26/2020

    I've been there. They have trails for all levels of experience. If you don't want red dirt stains on something, don't take it. I have pants that are now "Camp Only" because of this place. I would head out there, but I'll be at Hidden Falls Adventure Park this weekend.

    I have a bit of a collection, but my most used: EDC folding knives... Chris Reeve Sebenza 21 Benchmade Freek with custom scales. Original scales had textured rubber, and made it a pain in the butt to put back in your pocket. It was as if the knife was grabbing on to everything it could for...

    CBI or Shrockworks Bumper

    I picked up some sliders from Shrockworks about a month ago. Took them 6 weeks to make. Not sure what lead time is on anything else, but that was rather quick.

    What is your rigs name

    Meet "Blanche". She's pretty in a tough way, but some may think she's ugly. She's tough enough to take anything you throw at it, but humble enough to take care of me. She's a bit bold, and doesn't mind standing out in the crowd. She doesn't mind being functional (off-road and dirty), but likes...
