I have a 2m Icom I'm looking to replace with a dial band and then I want to add the CB so I can have both. Some people I know are Hams, some have CBs, and some just yell at each other.

I have a 505 in my K5 but I want a Cobra 75 for the Xterra.

FREE AMATEUR RADIO EXAM SESSION Virginia Mountain Amateur Radio Club test sessions are now showing on the Laurel calendar. If anyone in the area is interested in taking the test, just contact Janet and get it set up! Our meetings are the first Monday of each month at 6:30pm, but the test are...

I never realized that what we did in highschool to avoid going home was such a big thing the world over. We didn't have cell phones with maps or GPS or even road maps. We'd just top off our tanks and start driving. I stopped doing that a few years ago and got caught up in being an adult. I'm...

I laughed entirely too hard when I read this. Must be the 16hr day exhaustion setting in. :laughing:

Ice. Plain and simple. My Dad and I decided to take our Cherokees up a local forest service road several years ago in the snow. At the top of the first little plateau, we realized that under the 2" of snow on the road was a solid sheet of clear ice. We pushed on a bit further to see if the...

In the Xterra I have a rubber tire scotch block, ratchet straps, 2" receiver ball, jumper cables, IPDM relay, small collapsible bow saw, socket set, adjustable wrench and multi- bit screwdriver in the rear storage box. In the glove box I keep a tape measure, handkerchief, small pocket notebook...

I was thinking that you got a discount on entry but you still had to pay about $50 to just get on the grounds then pay the Expo fees on top of that.

Are they including entry fee's for the grounds in the price this year?

I'd love to have a Gobi for my Xterra, it'll come in the future. Additional recovery gear is ALWAYS a plus! I want to get a 4 ton come along and an inertia rope to go with my tow strap and tree saver. I'd like to do some sand driving this year if I get the chance to try it, never driven on...

I'm about an hour north of Roanoke, if anyone wants to get together in this area sometime, there are some nice campsites near this area and I know of a few routes for stock vehicles as well as a few routes I've yet to explore but would like to. I talked to @DeltaNine and @Big E about a...

I love old equipment! That's half the reason I want to head west to explore these old towns and camps is just to see these kinds of things! Looks like an awesome trip guys!

I don't know if you've spent much time up in this area or not, but there's quite a few forest service roads very near Roaring Run and a couple campsites as well. This is also inline with the Mountain State Overland route from New Castle to Wytheville, I would imagine this is along the route...

I'm basically starting again now. I had a 1998 Cherokee SE two door, I6, 5 speed, swapped to a NP242 with a SYE and CV rear shaft. Regeared 3.55 with a factory set of gears, 3.5" Teraflex TJ coils, OME HD leaf packs with Rubicon Express extended shackles on 31x10.5 Grabber AT2s. I loved my Jeep...

It's not factory on there, I bought it VERY used with 280k miles on it but a very clean South Carolina body. I've always like step side beds and since it needed a new bed anyways, why not right? I lucked out and found that camper shell for $50 from a guy moving but had to replace all the locks...

You'll get used to the extra size if you're constantly driving it. I DD'd my 2000 K2500 Crew Cab short bed GMC for a couple years and you don't notice it after a while. After I switched to DD'ng my S10 Blazer and now the 07 Xterra, it's a change to get back into the truck and go somewhere like...

I took this yesterday when I stumbled upon the furnace site out riding. It's a Day Use Area here in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest.

That's a nice system! Makes me wish I didn't need my truck as a truck!

Welcome! I'm originally from Elk Creek, up near Wytheville. I worked at the potato chip place off exit three for a few months and still occasionally get down that way when traveling through. Haven't done much of the beaten path though.

Went exploring the local area here around the house today. I woke up in a foul mod and needed away from everything for a bit. Found some neat places not far from home! I'm going to have to make a note to go back sometime and do the foot trails around the mountain. Roaring Run Furnace...
