Good luck on that one… The equipment needed to put a repeater up that close to an EMS is going to be costly as not to interfere with the fire station UFH radio equipment… the costly part is the duplexers needed. The second thing, you’re going to have to explain how GMRS is better than their...

Great Intro Steven. Welcome to Overland Bound and congratulations on your new 2022 Toyota 4Runner (great choice BTW). After many months of similar research my wife settled on the 4th Gen Runner as her rig of choice and had me drive her to Seattle from our humble little town in the north east...

Below is the review I did on the tent when it was redesigned for 2020. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/redesigned-2020-gazelle-t4-plus.33439/#post-481729

@Ian W7OLI I think you need to take a look at @MrWilsonWJ jeep and @PNW EXPLR Ram along with a few other guys rigs to get an idea of what you would like to do with yours.

Update your version of OB1, your running several builds behind.

@Ian W7OLI yell us about your ride, The back story and your plans to fix it up. These guys here are a huge wealth of knowledge and can help lend a helping hand in the time of need… all are a great bunch of guys.

The first FM radios only hit the market a week ago. Not to say the pirates haven’t been doing it for years.

You would hear funny noises coming from the radio… almost like R2-D2.

Do only the routine maintenance. Don’t install a lift, regear, switch tires, or any other major upgrade before a big trip. Talking from personal experience leaving your rig behind on an epic trip sucks, all because of not having the time to work out all the new bugs. Dos: Change your engine...

And you are also a “Legacy” member. So most of the app stuff wouldn’t be of much use to you any ways.

There would be a way to do this using two RF transceivers, a cheap gps dongle, and a raspberry pie (maybe two pie’s depending on if you want your child to be able to message you back). The downside is the license requirements for such a device.

When you bought the “lifetime” (legacy) membership, there wasn’t an app at that point in time. When the app became available on July 1st of 2020, an annual membership was born called the “Adventure Tier”; The Expedition Tier only just recently went live which requires a different level of...

Amateur Radio requires a license as does GMRS. FRS, doesn’t require you to purchase a license and uses the GMRS frequencies (channels) at lower power. CB isn’t used much any more, but that might change now that the FCC has allowed FM service on the CB channels. We as overlanders don’t use CB...
