  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    HAM vs. GMRS - The Great Debate

    The best one is whatever the most other people you want to communicate with are using. That can be CB, HAM, FRS, GMRS, Cell, etc. Thinking there is only one is myopic.

    Texas Fall Outdoor Expo

    What actually goes on at this event? Very few vendors, 1 scheduled presenter doing an AAR, no food vendors, The blog has no posts? Guess with the Big three overland events (2 in Sept, 1 week after this), this event got no traction from the industry.

    Dfw/frisco meetup???

    How does a simple suggestion to send a reminder in this thread turn into such crap show? Jeez no wonder nobody comes to meeting if they read this thread

    US East Running the Trans America Trail (TAT) from WV to the OR coast

    Sorry to see this coming apart, I was really looking forward to it. But glad everyone is OK. Good lessons learned though for future attempts.

    Installing and powering a fridge in vehicle

    My Goal Zero 400 Lithium runs my ARB Fridge for 3 days if inside. This was bench tested as I have never gone 3 days without turning the vehicle on, at which point it switches to car power.

    Question about Line-x

    Mine didn't, they just scuffed up the painted surface so it would adhere better. That was 20 years ago, still good as new.

    Texas

    Not much right near DFW (other than LBJ Grasslands), but some great places elsewhere in Texas, Big Bend, NP, Big Bend SP and Padre Island to start. Then Palo Duro Canyon, and from DFW many places in Oklahoma and Arkansas which are actually closer then Big Bend Area.

    Another HAM vs GMRS question

    HAM is great in big places like Big Bend and you can use a repeater to talk from one end of park to another in places with no cell service. Also the Dual Band feature so you can use your HH to talk to your vehicle to repeater is another feature.

    Another HAM vs GMRS question

    I use CB/FRS/GMRS/HAM the same way for all. To Talk to those in my group. So I have to say my CS every 10 minutes, hardly a big deal.

    Winch powered by Starting or Auxiliary power? What do you recommend?

    Amps drawn by winch and amp-hrs rating of battery are two different things. His 170AH battery can draw 170A for 1 hr, 340A for 1/2 hr, 680A for 15 minutes etc, under perfect conditions. So he has plenty of battery unless it is a massive winch job.

    Best mobile air compressor unit for Overland travel?

    Best would be the ARB Twin. But it is also the most expensive.

    Help With Rooftop Lights

    I use a wireless transmitter. A single power/ground cable runs everything. Like you I have front, side and rear lights, as well as a bed light since it is a pick up.

    Rebuilding my dad's Hummer H1... for it's next adventures.

    Well I have a Duramax, but everyone I know who upgraded to a P400 from older 6.5 engines is very happy.

    Rebuilding my dad's Hummer H1... for it's next adventures.

    The P400 was the engine AMG offered for the up-armored HUMVEEs that needed a HP/TQ boost as a result of weight. I am not sure if they are still made, but they can be found. I have the Durmax/Allison in my H1/Alpha.
