    Aftermarket stereo that works with Gaia?

    What about doing a head unit delete? Use an amp to run your speakers. Run your amp from a tablet. I did this on a custom dash for a buddy’s jeep. Used a Bluetooth obd2 reader. He’s got basic gauges for engine vitals. Speedometer and tach are on the tablet along with several gps apps and his...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    This happened in one of my favorite places in Nevada. (Article below) I’ve spent a lot of time hiking and hunting the Santa Rosa mountains. I’ve spent weeks up there checking out old gold mines, and trying to get pictures of amazing scenery and wildlife. Paradise Valley is an awesome little town...

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    There is where the real comparison should be made. Jeep Cherokee vs bronco sport. As far as the results are concerned... I’m not going to pretend to care. I’d never own either in current form. I did once upon a time ago own a 70 bronco sport. First bronco with a 302. It was in such bad shape I...

    Photos of My Travels Out West

    I love it. A lot of pictures from places I like to go. I may not have been right where you were but I’ve been to a lot of the general areas. Whenever someone posts pictures of Nevada I get excited just to see if I recognize the place.

    I want to see the Rams

    Beautiful picture. I could handle cruising across that in the pontoon with the fishing gear.

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    I would think I’d pack whatever it takes to keep them from getting to use those rubber gloves. From what I’ve seen on tv, they have big long fingers. I don’t want get butt probed with a little tiny finger.

    Who here plans Overland trips around Fishing?

    Beautiful fish. Looks like you had some amazing weather as well. Good to see somebody hooking into a few.

    Overlanding alone first time need advice.

    You have communications. Also Plenty of fuel and water. Take a good shovel, even if all you use it for is to dig a fire pit. Basic tools, tire changing tools and fuses. Much more than that and you’ll need parts as well. Also a good time to remember to make sure your spares have air in them and...

    Real world regear input?

    Call Randy’s ring and pinion. I got Yukon lockers plus regeared both axles, Dana 60 and 14bff, on my jeep for around $2500.

    I want to see the Rams

    Looks like you’re pretty partial to the whole set up. Truck and cabover camper. Cabovers are nice. Always thought that putting one on the front of a gooseneck trailer and having an open garage space behind it would be an awesome setup for a base camp.

    I want to see the Rams

    That is a good looking truck. I am kind of partial to white dodges.

    Bolt on vs welded slidders

    A jeep buddy of mine has a bolt together roll cage in his jeep. When I asked him why he went that route, he said that bolt together was guaranteed to be stronger than his “welds”. Unless you are a proficient welder I’d vote for bolt on.

    Am I crazy? - building a press brake!

    I like your ingenuity. There’s always way more satisfaction in building what you need instead of buying it. And sometimes it is just to say you could.

    Thoughts and reasons for your chosen rig

    I own a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins. I love to hunt and fish. I have a few toys that require a trailer. Some of my hunting and fishing holes require bigger tires and low range to get there. And the simplest reason I use a full size truck... I haven’t seen a 4 runner or jeep that could haul 2...

    Who here plans Overland trips around Fishing?

    75% percent of our trips are based on fishing. We have the NE Nevada loop trip 5 fishing spots, 2 - 3 hours from one to the next and plan a night at each one. Trout on a fly that I tied is my heaven. My wife loves to fish probably more than I do. We met on a fishing trip. The only thing I can...

    I want to see the Rams

    It’s a single. It’s a viair 200 psi compressor. Hopefully it does what I want it to.

    I want to see the Rams

    I didn’t get to work on my project last weekend. Yesterday I got to spend a few hours on it. Installed my air tank. Sandwiched a plate of galvanized I had in between the box and air tank to hopefully put a little protection in for the battery and compressor. I managed to order the wrong air...

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    I truly understand what you are saying on every sentence you wrote and agree 100%. (P.s. The guy that destroyed the new trx ram is a blooming idiot.) I’m in the position where if I buy a new vehicle it will most likely be purpose built. Not a daily driver wearing out parts chasing groceries. And...

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    The biggest question I have is what are you going to use this vehicle for when you’re choosing between the 2? I just glanced at both websites and kind of picking the options I want and leaving out what I don’t like or would change on my own anyway. It’s by no means an apples to apples...

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    It’s damn near impossible to turn out quality product when workforce is cut by 80%. We’ve only been missing the guys that were out sick and you can tell by availability numbers that our fleet isn’t getting the same quality repairs. Buying anything during a pandemic is like buying a first model...
