1: Never go alone or without the gear you need to recover yourself by yourself. A buddy of mine and I wound up on the frame rails in a wet weather spring once and had to hike a couple miles back and flag down someone to come tug us out or give us a ride back to the house. 2: Double, triple...

You'll be just over the hill from me! Give me a shout while you are in the area.

Y'all must not have kids....

The 102" whip with the base solid on the whip is better than the ones with a set screw holding the whip and the MFJ 108" whip is best as you won't have to use the 6" extension or a spring to make the length up.

My 2007 Xterra has about 155k on it and my 00 K2500 OBS Crew Cab has about 298k on it.

It depends on what situation I was "bugging out" away from. If major roads are open and speed is a factor and not room, then the wife's car will win that battle. If it's more of an exodus thing, then the K2500 with Xterra in tow and everything I can fit in the bed/cab/cabin/open space on...

PICKED IT UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY. I had the secondary timing chain TSB preformed and they skipped a tooth on an intake cam the first time and it threw a code. They got it fixed and back to me today. Man those chains were screaming, its so quiet now I'm not sure it's running half the...

Everyone is welcome and I'd be happy to bring my antenna analyzer with me!

Monday Morning BUMP! Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend and seeing some new places myself!

With Gander Mountain going out of business I picked up one of the mid sized XPots today for 10% off. We're looking forward to giving it a test run soon! I'll try to keep this thread updated with how it goes.

You can use most of the CB hand held radios with BNC-SO239 adapters to hook to a mounted antenna. I used an old Radio Shack hand held like that and use my Baofeng on my dual band ground plane at home when I need to be "off-the-grid" for simulations my amateur radio club runs during the year.

All my vehicles are 100k+mileage so the Xterra (155k) and wife's Malibu (115k) get recommended weight Valvoline Max Life while my pickup (294k) gets conventional Havoline 10w40 to keep the old 5.7l quiet. I tried the Max Life in it and it just leaked worse and hot oil pressure would drop pretty...

Just picked this up today! A friend found it at an estate sale and grabbed it for me for $20. It had fuel in it so I just blew it out with my air hose, pumped it up and fired it. Started just as easy as if it had been used to whip up breakfast this morning. No leaking packing or any issues. This...

It was just announced on the weekly club net that the Virginia Mountain Amateur Radio Club of Covington, Va is now an active Laurel VE Team. We will be administering free tests as required. We meet on the first Monday of every month and will be glad to setup a test session. Just give me some...

Like I said, you'd be more than welcome, but you might check with @Exped4x4 and see where his meet-up will be next in NOVA as well. He's dealing with the NOVA/MD/DC area I believe and Mike's got some neat stuff planned. Again, you'd be more than welcome here but I'm just trying to point you...

Welcome aboard Bob! Good to see you here! That'd be awesome if you are up for that and you'd be more than welcome, but you might check in the East regional forum and see if there's a meetup already going on in your area! Here's Chris' thread on the ones scheduled in this part of the US...

Loving the wagon man! I've always been a long roof fan!

That's neat in that you can carry it in the house and charge everything up when not traveling. I was wondering if you had the inverter mounted in the Action Packer and fed in 12V or if the cable on the Action Packer was a standard 110V plug. I really like this idea though, it would make a cool...

Neat idea! Is this 120v or 12v with an internal inverter?
