  • 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.

    Overland Expo West

    Everyone planning on traveling in for Expo West this year be aware that there has already been significant fire activity in the area and that many of the National Forst in Arizona are already enacting fire restrictions. Rember when you are looking at potential campsites to try to pick places...

    US Southwest ARRL Field Day 2022

    Are you guys going to operate under one call sign? I won't be able to make it there but I am hoping to set up on a mountain top somewhere in AZ. It may depend on where the fires are and what restrictions are in place. I'll try to reach you guys on HF. During the day I can usually reach...

    Honey, why do you drag so much stuff along?

    I use to get those questions about the recovery gear I carry. Saw? Rope? Tackle? Then we did that solo trip across Gold Stone Pass.... Never got the question again.

    Honey, why do you drag so much stuff along?

    If I go out by myself I sleep on the ground under the stars or in a hammock. When I go out for an overnight I am down on the spring of the rig with the "bare essentials"

    Billstein 5100. Can I lift front w/o lifting rear, What's the best set up?

    Lots of experience and info so far. I drove an Xterr OFF ROAD for 14 years and it took me a lot of places I probably shouldn't have gone and always got me home. I did a little lift in the front with a spacer that gave me a out 1.8" lift in the front and an Add-a-Leaf in the back that gave me...

    UHF multi-aerial setup

    I'll be curious to see what they say. I run a amateur radio in my rig in the States. I have a UHF/VHF and HF antennas on my mobile rig. They run independently into the same radio which is an all band all mode radio. I have run two UHF/VHF antennas when I have a second radio set up to do...

    Ham Radio Operators... Mobile, HT, or Both?

    I use both. I started out with an HT and recommend that to any new ham. They are usually straightforward and hard to get into too much trouble with. When I first got my license I started with an HT. It didn't take long for me to start using it while out and about in the Southwestern...

    access ladder for suburban/tahoe?

    I have found the same kind of issues finding such parts for my H3 Hummer. It is not a mainstream vehicle that you can drive off a lot so there is not as much marked to the more unique vehicles. If you are into the DIY option a ladder is pretty straightforward. This is a good video that might...

    access ladder for suburban/tahoe?

    If you contact them they are pretty helpful. Were more than willing to build up a rack for my Hummer H3. I ended up doing my own thing because of I could build it in a couple of weekends where they had a 4 to 8 week turn around and we had a summer vacation that we could not wait on.

    Xterra Registry

    I am fine. This actually happened a few months ago. Fortunately I was the only one in my vehicle. I have had worst bar fights. Believe it or not the laddy who ran the red light and hit me hard enough to roll me over was in an Xterra as well. She and the two girls with her were fine as well...

    Xterra Registry

    Guess I am out of the Xterr club. It was a good run of 14 years and thousands of miles of advertisers. I'll still be around with all the years of experience. The Xterr was great and don't know it will ever really be replaced.

    Facebook Scam - Jackery power/solar on sale close out

    Let us know if it shows up. I found some tracking thing in the links. Looks like it was shopping from China. When I made the purchase I was under the impression it was shipping from Canada. (Not sure why now). The "tracking" has shown it on the USPS hands for a couple of weeks now. Guessing...

    Facebook Scam - Jackery power/solar on sale close out

    I rolled the dice and took a chance. Placed order on 9/16. Still haven't seen anything yet. Got some email that tried to get me to download some app from China to track the package but I'm not that dum. Just dum enough to fall for the to good to be true Facebook scam. Next will be to...
