Where in PHX are you thinking? Todd

Just checking how many people got a privete message about the meetup tomorrow night (Thursday 7/25)? Seems there may be some issues with current forum members getting notices. Post up here or PM me if you did or didn't get one. Thanks.

We did it a few years ago 2up on my KTM. South part of the state was nice, the farther north got sandy and whooped out. We had problems with closed roads and bad GPS route, I’m sure that is better now. We bailed half way because of the sand. Then headed up to the Mac bridge and finished with the...

Here is the link to the meetup this Thursday. Please RSVP if you are going with a head count. Todd

This is a Meet and Greet in the East Valley but is open to anyone. Rudy's BBQ in Gilbert. 1733 N Higley Rd Gilbert, AZ 85234 We will meet at 6:30 if you are coming to eat, then will move out to the parking lot for awhile (If it is too hot we'll just stay inside). You are welcome to come at...

Last week my wife asked where we could go that would be cooler for a few days. I told her Death Valley is 20-25 degrees cooler than here. Couldn’t sell her on it, even with the promise that there wouldn’t be any crowds. Todd

I have been looking for a place to meet up a little more central, near Sky Harbor or the 51 but haven’t found anyplace yet. The last few meetups near Bass Pro everyone that showed were from the Far East valley or south. Todd

We have been doing a meet and greets every month for the last 4 months. Very few people show up from OB. We get a few that show up from Meetup.com Arizona Overlanders. I don’t know if it is because of lack of interest, bad timing for meet ups, or not finding out about the meetups. I have done...

Nice job. What did you use for a water pump? Is it quiet? Todd

Here in the national forest and blm land I go to in AZ, the general rule is if it looks like others have camped there, there is a fire ring (metal or stone), you are parking on dirt or rock (can’t park on grass), and within 300’ from the road you should be good. Not alway but a good rule of...

I went in to the auto parts store to buy a yellow top for my Jeep. They had 5 or 6 of them right behind the counter. Told the guy what I wanted and he said “got two of them right here but won’t sell them to you”. I asked why. Then he went on to say because it will fail in in less than a year and...

I’ve only been through Yuma once on the way home from Anza Borrego in Ca. Definitely want to get back when it gets a bit cooler. This fall we are thinking of doing a overnight or two at Kofa. Welcome, Todd

I’m at McKellips and Crismon.

We live 2.5 hours from Expo West and didn’t go. We just can’t justify the cost or the crowds. We did go a few years ago for a day and had a great time. We probably would have gone for a day this year but we went to the desert in California the same weekend. I think being new doing the full...

I’m using hamstudy.org. It is real easy. What I did was before I did any studying I took a few practice test to see how I would do. I only missed 2 from passing. Then I sighed up (it’s free) and started the study questions. It keeps track of the ones you miss and keeps giving those to you till...

I have a Renogy suitcase 100 watt panel. I just got it this week and have been experimenting with it. I run a 120 AH AGM battery in my teardrop camper. And have a Ctek DC-DC charger also. The battery and Ctek were more than fine to supply the power we needed until we added a Snomaster...

Sorry for the delay. Here is the link for Vmax batteries that I went with. You will find the similar info at Odyssey's website. I called both places and got about the same info. Heat is a real problem for me. My battery in in the tongue box of my teardrop which is black. We have over 100 days...

Very good info. Thank you. Like I said I never buy extra warranties, but I was wondering by going off-road if I would be tilting the odds in my favor. But I read in another forum that Discount Tires warranty says in the small print "For on highway use only". One guy said he cut a sidewall and...

So what do you think about Road Hazard Warranty offered from Discount Tire? Normally I wouldn't buy a warranty like this but I Just got a screw in a tire right at the side wall and couldn't be repaired. Still had about 10,000-15,000 left on the tires.So the three tires will get moved to the...

They are saying human caused now. But is started in a popular area for camping and off-road use on a Saturday afternoon. Good chance it was from campers. This fire is in very remote wilderness area also. The good thing is there are very few wildfires burning now so there are over 900...
