  • 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.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Oh! And I put a light bar on my Xterra. Now I need to go do a night run in the desert.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Cleaned the attic. I pulled the air-dam off my Xterra to install a light bar. Din not expect to find this. 11 years of dust, dirt and leaves from dusty traveling across 7 Western States. [emoji6] [emoji106]

    Ham Radio - HF/VHF/UHF

    I've had two of those on my rig. They are great antennas. Very forgiving if you don't have a good ground plain. The folding design is very handy for parking garages. Had to give up on them though. For me they are two stiff which makes them easy to break. If you are not doing a bunch of bush...

    Hello from Guam!

    Welcome to the community. Make sure you post some pictures of that sweet looking Xterra on the Xterra registry. Is it gas or diesel?

    The Can

    So moving forward. Keep in mind this is going to be a budget build. So far I have just the cost of changing the title in the project. I have picked up some trailer tiers designed for agricultural use type applications. Not a sexy as my truck tiers but I got three of them on steel rims for...

    Rocky Mountain National Park Trip

    Man I spent a lot of time up there as a young boy. I don't have any Camp spots I can give you but shure wood like to see some photos of your trip when you were done. Beautiful country up there.

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    There has been talk about it. I think it would just take a person or two to be able to commit some time to being the Net control to get it going. Maybe be easier to start out with an on air event or two like a weekend round up or "contest". Sent from my XT1650 using OB Talk mobile app

    The Can

    I do want to keep some of the original soul of the trailer but back to original is not going to leave me with something useful. Those small tires are a deal breaker. This is going to to be a budget build. I need to get it at least useful or it will just be in the way and I'll have to get rid...

    The Can

    So a friend of mine has given me what is left of his 1960ish Apache Tent Trailer. It has been handed down to him and was originally his Grandfathers. My buddy brought it to Arizona from Wisconson and used it for a couple of years. Then the canvas got mildewed. Unfortnentyl he threw out...

    Campfire Defender

    What does Smoky the Bear think of it. Have you talked to any forestry managers about it. We spend most of the camping season in Arizona in Fire Restrictions. As dry as it has been this winter I would not be surprised if they shut us out of the public lands all together this summer. If this is a...

    Maxtrax or DeLorme?

    Totally agree. Not that the apple OS is any better than Android. (Android [emoji12] [emoji106] ) But yes, a good strategy to go with what you know. The reality is they both do the same thing of overlaying GPS info over nice looking maps. Same can be said for the. Traction boards. They all...

    Maxtrax or DeLorme?

    I use an old LG tablet I got when my wife upgraded her's. It has been great as a dedicated device. Only keep NAV stuff and a couple of hours of music on it. I run with Backcountry Navigator and back it up or upload relevant maps between trips. Sent from my XT1650 using OB Talk mobile app

    Maxtrax or DeLorme?

    I use my tablet these days for all of my navigation. I've been using Backcontry Navigator. I was a die-hard Garmin guy but find I really like the simplicity of the GPS overlay on a traditional Topo Map. Backcontry Navigator is very reasonable price and no subscription needed. I'd go for the...

    Topper Shell vs. Pop-up Truck camper

    Fun dilemma. One thing you might want to look into is how we do truck camper winter there. I know winters in Bozeman we're always hard on my grandparents campers when I was a kid. That was a long time ago and materials are a lot better these days. Sent from my "Smart Phone"
