Nice products but I just couldn't bring myself to drill that many large holes into my hardtop. Good to hear you aren't having issues. I sold off my Gobi, too heavy and the wind resistance is noticable/drop in mpg of 1.5. I think I'm going to go Rhino Rack Backbone with the platform rack and...

The difference is it's continuous versus the InReach which sends at intervals. That said, Glympse appears to be useless without cell service or wifi if what's being stated above is correct. The InReach will work anywhere you have satellite reception. I use the InReach and find it priceless.

Haha! Thanks. Fortunately she's all in for the mods, I'm a lucky man!

Technically it's my better half's, but we picked this 2018 TRD Off Road Premium up from the dealer last week. It's our first Toyota, having mostly owned Jeeps. I'm excited to try it out on the trails, it will be a mild build as we have the Jeep Rubicon for the rougher stuff. We'll upgrade the...

Yup, same here on the tuning with the 75! I've got a full size older Uniden CB in place of the Cobra along with a Midland MXT115 GMRS radio. I've got my eye on the Bearcat 880 (same as your 980 minus SSB) but we've mostly been using the GMRS radio with my travel mates.

I started with Diehard Platinums (rebadged Odysseys) and no longer made. I also had a National Luna dual battery system which turn out not to work very well under the JK hood, it doesn't care for the heat. Both Platinum's died within 2 years, partly due to the malfunctioning NL system...

I had the Cobra 75 and I ditched it for a full size CB. It was hard to hear, hard to read, and not great to operate one handed.

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to charge but the best charge you can get while driving is going to come from the alternator. The most efficient way for the ARB to be powered is from a dedicated 10 gauge 12 volt outlet, like the kit ARB sells. The factory 12v outlets are smaller gauge...

I just uninstalled and re-installed on both my phone -Android 9 and my tablet -Android 8.1 and both appear to be working now. Not sure what the issue was there.

Anyone else having issues with the app crashing on Android when selecting the premium layers? As soon as I try to add a new map layer it crashes on both Android 8.1 and the new Android 9. I think I sent feedback with logs but it crashes so not sure the feedback was sent. Addtional...

I made the mistake of leaving my Lifetime very full of water on the way out of our last excursion and it did leak a bit. It was in our off-road trailer which was bouncing around pretty good on the trail and still the leakage was minimal. As an after thought I added an 90 degree garden hose...

The Gobi crossbars are the way to go!! So much easier!

I used Gaia GPS on our Mojave Road trip and really liked it's functionality and the Nat Geo maps. I had it running on both my Google Pixel XL and my old Samsung Tab 7 inch. The tablet is running Android 4.1.2 and while it worked ok in February it's getting pretty tough to run Gaia on it. No...

No problem, Midland has a sale coupon running for Mother's Day "MOM20" for 20% off. Ends Monday May14th

I've got one and the Midland 6db antenna to go with it. Couple of my buddies have it as well and we used them on our last trip on the Mohave Road and they worked flawlessly. One of my friends got it just before the trip and just used the mag mount antenna that comes with the radio and we had...

Correct, they are considered propane stoves. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I am just adding some to the rear of my Jeep JK after our trip across Soda Lake on the Mojave Road, that mud is very corrosive and was flinging everywhere including all over our trailer. I was also concerned with taking out someone else's windshield after coming off the trail. AEV makes a nice...

Nice review, great comparison of old and new!

My InReachSE is pre-Garmin also. The Earthmate app is the Earthmate app, it either works on 4.1.2 or not. So if it works on mine it should work on yours. I say all of this with the caveat that it could stop working with the next app updates as 4.1.2 is very old in the android world and...

I have Gaia running on Android 4.1.2. After some feedback from the Gaia folks, 4.1.2 is about as old an operating system as they support but it does work. It occasionally has a moment when it freaks out but a quick restart of the app fixes it. That would be my suggestion. I also use Garmin...
