    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    Congrats to the both of you. I told my wife that she now needs to start studying so that she can get her license as well. She laughed at me... What did you use to study for the test? I used AA9PW.com it was very close to what I was questioned on with a couple of different questions that I...

    Backup camera?

    My brother and I both have those dual camera setups and they are awesome. The rearview mirror houses the front camera and I have the rear mount mounted inside where the rear hatch light is located as I wanted to keep the camera clean and inside the vehicle. My brother drilled a hole in his rear...

    The Rig That Started It All

    Our first 4x4 was a '73 FJ55 in grey/white. We would go wheeling with 2 friends that had CJ5's with the 304 V8 motors. They sounded so good and I just loved riding in the back of them with the top down and listening to the rumble of the motor. I learned to drive stick in a '78 FJ40. Then I...

    Handheld Ham Radio Adivce

    I agree with you 100%. Not everyone can just go out and spend that kind of money on a radio. Baofeng's are better than nothing at all and if you know how to operate/set it up the radio is surprisingly good. I have a UV-5R and my next purchase will be the BF-F8HP due to the fact that it has...

    HAM Radio Call Sign Check-In Thread

    I just passed my Technicians License Test today. So, in 2 weeks I will be officially official on the Baofeng. I plan on purchasing another radio and turning the UV-5R into my APRS unit until I can afford a Kenwood or Yaesu.

    Why is it that when your traveling in a group your the only one setting up and breaking down

    If we are going camping I like it when each vehicle puts up their own stuff. Now, when it's just the guys it is a little harder to do some things by yourself and you might as someone to help you and then help them in setting up or breaking down camp. Now, who wants to help the guy who brought...

    Yet Another TIRE questoin

    Here in the always sunny southwest the KO'2 have been great for me. The massive amounts of rain sp? that we get have not changed my thoughts on these tires - could be the lack of hp that I possess. In all honesty the BFG's have never let me down and it is hard to try something else just to save...

    Wheel base

    Ohiowrangler, I'll bet that YJ is fun when off road. Small block, 5,13's and 35's oh boy let's climb some stuff. Are you still on springs or have you swapped to coils?

    05 Burb

    Is your suburban a Transformer? I have never seen anything change smooch as you just did in 3 pages. Every time that I wanted to comment on something you did I just scrolled down a couple of inches on the page and you changed it. lol. In the most current state that your Burb is in I really like...

    Wheel base

    I do want to also purchase a TJ for when it is just me 4 wheeling and camping when the wife wants to stay home. The shorter wheelbase is great for maneuvering in close quarters and for the rocks. Not the best for Moab as the steep climbs are done more comfortably in a longer wheelbase vehicle so...

    Wheel base

    That is not specific enough question. Each wheelbase has it's own advantage and disadvantage. Location also plays a big part in it. So we need to get a better idea of what you want - me for example(married, no pets, just a couple of 160 lbs adults). I have 4runner - like who doesn't... It is...

    New Midland MXT275 (GMRS Mobile)

    Well, I like it so much better than the cb radio that I took that radio out of my truck. It will be Midland and Baofeng for me.

    Why is it that the passengers always want to impute on your driving skills

    That was such a great terrible story. I would have left on the 2nd day.

    Single unified communication system for Overland Bound members

    Awesome information and you hit the nail on the head about testing and newbies trying to figure out how to be a hammy. Those are the same concerns that I have and why I have not taken my test yet.

    How to determine a safe angle on a side hill?

    We should all drive over to a Land Rover dealership and play on their rock demo setup. That thing scares me... Tire pressure, tire ply, speed and the type of suspension play an important of rolling. I rolled my Tacoma and it was crazy how much it leaned before it finally let go. To help with...

    Slowly but Shirlee the '91 Toyota Single Cab

    The lower position is not a good thing in Texas as the roads have rocks that love low uncovered lights. The truck just keeps looking better in every post.
