  • 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 Radio - HF/VHF/UHF

    Cool. I have been thinking of playing with some of the digital forms of ham communication. Maybe you or someone can start sept thread about what is involved in setting up a system for this. For work I often use a private weather forecast service for specific location and events. I also...

    Would love to see what you did for the mounting hardware for the axe and shovel. Sent from my XT1650 using OB Talk mobile app

    3rd/4th Gen 4runner or Xterra? Which would you get and why?

    Sounds like the decision is made but as the Xterra bashing continues one last comment. I have less than $1000 in "modifications" in my Xterra and have a lot more of the 140k off payment than most. I have watched my buddy with his 4Runner (3rd Gen I think) replace axel and suspension parts...

    Getting it done on the Cheap

    I deal with a lot of rigging at work and we do a lot of overhead rigging that has to be right and trusted. While I might by a tool box or a cheap set of screw drivers from Harbor Freight, I would never buy anything like a blocks, straps or shackle type of gear from them. Only domestic when it...

    solar panel on the rig?

    I've done it. Tempory for my Ham Radio stuff. I first did it for a Mobil Field Day station. This was running a battery that we independent of the cars electrical system so that we could claim extra points for not being on a gas powered source. It also eliminated some of the alternator type...

    Some people don't realise the 4x4 just means 4 foot further and 4 feet deeper. Sent from my XT1650 using OB Talk mobile app

    Crossing a stream in flash flood

    Good discussion. I've done 1 but the only other option was to wait out the rising water in the slot canyon we were already in. Ironically we ended up there because we figured the way we had already come from was flooding. Stay out of the water when it comes to flooding! Sent from my XT1650...

    Along those lines consider this. I have a friend who seriously believes that the Zombie Apocalypse will happen some day. This leads to some interesting debates about how to survive in post apocalyptic world and of course one of the topic is what is the best vehicle to have is. My stance is...

    Sad times for my Xterra

    Got it back. And everything looks good. The insurance is even replacing the ham radio antennas. [emoji3][emoji106] Unfortunately there was no talking them into painting the whole truck so I guess I'll have to go out and match up the Arizona pinstriping so the new paint matches the old. Now I...

    Getting it done on the Cheap

    Yep. That was one of the thing that was a selling point for me. It is certainly Shade Tree Micanic freinds. That and it'll climb like a Billy goat. [emoji238] Unfortunately. Some other brands seem to inflated when it comes to after market parts. But as this thread is most likely going to point...

    Getting it done on the Cheap

    I have a buddy who bought a brand new Jeep and has spent literally thousands modifying it so he can go Off-Roading with me. Now I drive an Xterra Off Road with less than $1000 of upgrades. Rock Sliders, Add-a-leafs in the rear and spacer in the front to give me just enough lift to go a little...

    We were in Torington Wyoming. Had a great spot for just the family up on the hill at the cemetery. (The undeveloped part so no standing on dead people). One thing I had never heard of was the 360° sun set. We had a great time with a not full family reunion. Had family there from three...

    Sad times for my Xterra

    Yea. It's to bad it didn't hit the passenger side. There is a big bent in the door from Gold Stone Pass. [emoji12] Biggest concern is the damage to the body just above the door. I am worried that the door is not going to close tight and let rain and dust in. Past that the hood and door could...
