That's a little further north than I had thought about going. I might still be up for something up that way as long as I can avoid DC.

No I haven't run any of it. I'm 100% stock as well and the route I have planned is just gravel road as far as i know.

Rotated the tires and began planing on converting a Horrible Freight cargo carrier into an interior rack for the Xterra.

@yabbaz and I were kinda talking back and forth about something near Staunton/Harrisonburg. I have a route I've been working on to go on mainly FS roads from Covington to Staunton, so I was considering trying that out.

Wife and kids are headed out of town for the weekend. I'm thinking about going riding. Who's doing what?

I was so near melting with 6 people (4 girls from 1-14y/o, my wife and myself) inside it that I honestly didn't notice! :grimacing:

When we had our Suburban with rear air, we got in some traffic that was in the 100s and because it had two evaporator coils, the compressor couldn't keep up at idle. I kept having to put it in neutral at stop lights and run the rpms up to keep the air working. The engine fan was howling the...

Forum had to be rolled back due to issues.

When the weather is nice I roll the windows down and enjoy the day but I use the A/C to cut humidity and when traveling fast. Modern vehicles are designed for maximum fuel economy with the windows up and the A/C on. My Xterra regularly gets 18-19mpg like this and my crew cab truck will do 15mpg...

Its been raining here for a couple weeks so this evening I went wandering around the countryside with my middle daughter. Rock with water running out of it.

I've got one but have never used it. I guess I need to break it out and give it a go sometime.

I'm pretty busy the whole month. I probably can't do anything the weekends of the 10th or 17th, but ya'll pick the weekend that works best for most of you. If I can swing in for a bit or something, I'll try.

A good book to read and things to fiddle with around camp. Some times I bring some of my bushcraft stuff to mess with or my HT Ham radio to talk around on the local repeaters. In the future there might be some SOTA activations as well. With kids, they all bring a toy of some sort and something...

I've been looking at one of those recently but haven't been able to pull the trigger on one. I had wanted the 857D until I found the 480SAT. I really like the Kenwood stuff but I'm wanting to upgrade my shack before I get a mobile HF. Man it looks good sitting there though.

Is that the 480SAT?

The map is kinda funky right now. Many many people showing up on null island instead of being placed properly. Not sure what's happened but even I was there this morning and had to sort that out. But good luck man!
