I didn’t get the feeling you what you said was a put down. That price on the Ogden trailer gets to my point though. If you spent $300 on the initial trailer AND an additional $600 (which is probably high) on improvements you’re still around a third the price. And that trailer is better than half...

That may be, but even at triple the price, the finished product is still a bargain. Not to mention he’s probably enjoying the project as much as the intended use. I haven’t seen a HD alternative to these trailers, if they’re out there please share a link.

Yes, but when you already have the batteries for other tools, dewalt in my case, it doesn’t really matter. I get that a battery will never be a replacement for gas, but when you’re a city slicker with few trees it makes sense. The trails around me are so frequently traveled I doubt I’ll ever...

My thoughts as well on the steel toed boots. I’m not a professional and I don’t play one on TV, but I find a sawzall very handy for roots and when ground contact is likely.

I’ve been eyeballing these given I’ve already got too many dewalt tools, 20 and 60v. I won’t be doing much cutting anywhere but would like to be prepared. Are you still happy with it now that you’ve had some time with it?

An overused word.

Go for it! It's not like you'll be the first. I just picked up a used 4x8 harbor freight trailer for $100 that is going to get a make over into an adventure trailer, something similar to the explorer box that you previously mentioned, topped with a RTT. I'm going to clip off the back, put on a 5...

It looks like there’s a good chance it has a drop axle. If so flip it upside down so it’s a lift instead of a drop.

Yeah, this is a much safer long thread starter than the "other one", which vehicle should I buy? Jeep or Toyota are the only acceptable answers, by the way! :wink::laughing: I very much share this sentiment!

This made me think of another point I noticed when I switched from android to iOS. Again I will preface this may have changed in the past several years since I switched... I noticed the quality of apps was better in iOS. The first one I noticed was the eBay app, it was more stable and...

What kind of antenna separation is needed between ham and GMRS antennas? I’ve read a foot or maybe a little more is all that’s necessary for ham to cb, is GMRS similar?

I’m all set!

Or a Bluetooth GPS receiver. I personally use a Dual XGPS150 with a WiFi only iPad.

No, I switched jobs so my podcast listening has gone way down.

He seems like it, except for the constant Land Rover bashing! I get a little defensive, they’re the brand everybody loves to hate! :tearsofjoy:

My comment wasn't so much that you shouldn't get the license, I think it's well worth the $15 and few hours out of your like. More that one could delve into the world of ham radio for little up front in time or $. I am definitely a hands on learner, so to do it this way makes sense to me. I...

Have you seen the Midland MicroMobile line? They have a few models with varying max output that share 1-7 and 15-22 between FRS/GMRS and work with repeaters. They're pretty cheap when you start comparing them to a ham. https://midlandusa.com/micromobile/

There's some good info here, thanks to those who have added to the conversation. I find it overwhelming when it's a new area and trying to figure out what works for ME. I get the impression the OP is feeling the same way. I have also found that some of the people "in the know" are a little bit...

I’ll be watching this one! I’m struggling with the same questions. I’ve read study guides for the ham test and can pass practice tests with flying colors, but that hasn’t really taught me how to use a radio. It seems like a deep dark hole. When I lived in MN we used CBs for trail comms, so...

In the videos he said they flex well when aired down, that is not what I saw. They had the stiffest sidewall I’ve ever seen. I also think they’ve gone up significantly in price. When I first started last ok’ing at them they were significantly cheaper than the “new” competitors. That’s not...
