    Really like the "hidden" lightbars.

    My poor truck is totaled at Christmas.

    We should have a little funeral for it.. Sorry to hear about the loss of your truck, but thankfully no one was harmed and hopefully the distracted driver gets whats coming to them. I have to admit I was a little confused at the first pic.. I was like "thats all it takes to total a ram?!" then...

    Tacoma gas mileage

    Lots of things will affect the gas milage. Keep in mind that the advertised MPG tends to be the most fuel efficient combination they can build. When I had my F-150, the "advertised" fuel economy was 10.5L/100k... In the wee tiny fine print it also read, completely unloaded, 2wd, short bed, reg...

    In Reach and SPOT - CAUTION

    A lot of this is how the spot/inreach system is advertised. They make it out to be almost like an instant communicator and it really isn't. It never was and really wont be and its poorly explained. And something to note for us overland, should you be heading up north as a few comm unites in...

    New Rig

    Gladiator? Nah. My guess is that it will be stupid expensive when it first comes out and magically only fully loaded ones will be availible for the first bit. Want to peel your roof and doors off? Jeep. Dont want to peel your roof and doors off? Taco. And I don't mind chevies either...

    Suggestion - Sticky Communications

    We'd need two call signs.. one US and one Canadian. That wouldn't be hard to do on my end for the Canadian side. But my question is what bands would be the most practical? Hf antennas can be pretty big and somewhat delicate. That's why hf at basecamp.

    Which tablet or Laptop?

    Let me try that one again. The original was pretty badly written. Android has lots of offerings out there, from tons of different manufaturers. Theres a tablet for every budget and need. This is a good thing. And a bad thing. The good thing about apples is aftermarket support. If you look up...

    Why #vanlife Sucks

    Good Read with a lot of good points. I guess vanlife could be considered to be something only obtainable to the single, married with no kids, or the retired. But I see it a lot. Especially where I am, near Toronto where housing prices are insane. I've heard in Vancouver its a serious issue...

    How do you wash your vehicle?

    Wash? Nah, the dirt does a better job of protecting the paint from tree pinstriping anyway. In all seriousness, my town hasnt figured out how to use the plow on the front and wing on the side yet. So all they do is drive around and apply so much salt on the roads it makes EVE online and League...

    Thule buys Tepui Tents to enter the Roof Top Tent category.

    Kinda makes sense, I mean Thule makes a lot of racks and baskets, so why wouldn't they. Often times your better off to acquire a business already in production then starting from the ground up. Although personally I find thule to be really expensive.

    WOW!

    We don't often get hurricanes in Canada, so I'm going on a limb here. But I'm just going to say that I dont think thats going to be chasing hurricanes... More like running from.

    Canadian Ham Radio testing information

    Abseloutely! Keep in mind however, I can only issue tests to Canadian citizens, unfortunately. But the more the word is spread, the more operators hit the airwaves. https://apc-cap.ic.gc.ca/pls/apc_anon/query_examiner_amat$.startup This link is a handy one to find examiners by province, or...
