Sorry fella's. Im not going to be able to make the net. Unfortunately, work is making me work late tomorrow.

Grumpy old man that thinks they know everything with a amateur radio? No! It Cant be! Impossible!! :laughing: /sarasm Still, really looking foreward to this.

This is what I have: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/woods-expedition-adventurer-ultra-light-revo-rs-mat-0763204p.html#srp Its pretty dang comfy to be honest, but sleeping on it maxed out kind of hurts my back. So what I do is fill it up and let about 1 second of air back out and its...

I can help you with the Eastern Ontario, the question I have is: Are you coming up through eastern ontario and going east through quebec, new brunswick, Nova scotia, and then going back through maine or?

Curse you autocorrect! I've heard of a few lift kits available for 1st and 2nd gen escape's.. haven't seen anything yet for my generation. 7.9 inches of ground clearance are going g to mean careful lines and trail selection. In a weird way older escapes like his are better suited to off road...

Not to butt in, but I'm a noob. What's a loft kit? Is that a roof top tent or a lift kit?

Awesome. I'll watch and shoot.

What node will we use for the Friday net? VA3IRA here, if your wonderin who added you to favorites.

Its a wrangler with a box. I like the removable doors and top. But I have a feeling this will be priced WAY out of my league. But I give it 3 months after it hits dealers before we have a member with one. Whats more ironic.. Jeep.ca isnt doing the reveal for another 6 hours.

Thats the main thing. As long as you like it. do you think you'll put limb-risers on? youve got the brus guard and roof basket anyway!

Judging by the video, that's pretty much what I do with my 2wd escape. I don't consider my vehicle "off road ready". Mine is more.. "dirt road almost."

I'm on echolink as well. Just post a timing and I'll pop in for a visit. Heck.. maybe we can set up an overland conference server.

Mine is a 17. And those little beetles, in the right hands they could go some places you wouldnt believe.

I second looked at this. With the truck you have, this is best left as a pavement princess. But they are still ok for a little dirt road discovery.

Depends on your definition. Like for me I'm looking at light offroading. Premade trails and fire roads in this thing. Should still have lots of adventure.

And the first exploration. I know.. it's pretty light. But I found some neat signs. I think it was an old radar site.

Went exploring! Uh... might glow a bit after this..

What my freind did in his gmc was he mounted a deep cycle battery and a relay with 4ga to an anderson power pole in the back. Not fancy, but the relay was tied into the 0 guage wire and also the bridge between the standard battery and the deep cycle. So when we were on route to the site and on...

Here's my new (To me, anyway) Escape S. Maybe this will be a momento of what it looked like at one point in its life. Unfortunately it is only FWD, but for the light trail exploring I do, some real good tires should be fine.

Jus bought my wife an '18 Ford escape. So that means I get her 17 Ford Escape.. Better tires, roof racks, lighting. Suspension. All in the planning stage.
