I think @K12 is trying to get a convoy started from the Spokane and Northeast corner of the Region to head down to PNW Overland Expo. If members are planning on attending the Expo between Sandpoint, Idaho and Bend, Oregon and would like to travel with a group please RSVP and let’s start talking...

Thank you. I was about to make one myself… glad you did it Beau. https://www.overlandbound.com/event/overland-expo-pnw-2022/

Tell your wife: “This Scout (not the panel) I bought to recoup the cost of building the Travel-All). All I’m doing is adding the running gear and drive train and then selling it.” on a serious note, there is a guy over here that drives all over the NW looking for scouts and first gen broncos...

After a year of planning, testing equipment, and getting ready for the best Field Day ever, I am disappointed that I have to cancel… I might run have of the event from my home QTH, but due to an unforeseen tragedy I won’t be able to participate for at least the first half. Have fun out there...

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are in the works… and you are correct, not supported in OB1 yet.

Over engineering is better than under engineering. You got this… can’t wait to see what you come up with.

I know this isn’t what you want to hear… but it depends…I have gone 4 miles in one day, and I’ve gone 1,000 miles in day… road conditions can (and are) ever changing in the back country. It’s easier to plan by time then by milage… if you can only go 5mph, it’s going to take you 20 hours to go...

You’re over thinking this… use the front seat mounts by taking a piece of 1/8” X 2” metal (steel or aluminum) flat bar the length between both seat mount bolts. Drill out the holes for the seat mounts, then add two extra holes for bolting your platform too.

I use a bungie cord.

GIECO did the same for me as well.

Search “Waterproof Surface Mount Anderson Power Pole” on Google, it will give a lot of good ideas… for what you describe, Anderson Connectors are about the best there is.

I looked at it, opened and closed the doors, then walked back inside… that’s about all I can afford to do with it at the moment

No problem, that’s what I’m here for… also I know you’re part of a nice sized club there in eastern Washington, @David H is a member of a large club as well there in Boise, so you should be able to find lots of people to adventure with. I hear you on the high cost of gas at the moment… gas...
