I’m in Middle Georgia and I definitely feel you on that one. I had so many cool trips planned for this spring. I was supposed to be home a few weeks ago working on some upgrades to my rig before heading out on a couple longer trips but that’s not happening now. I’ve been stuck overseas for the...

In an unfortunate turn of events today my wife was moving the truck out of the garage and the door wasn’t all the way up.. I am now in the market for a new roof rack/basket system. I may be attempting to weld/fabricate my own here shortly. This is really unfortunate. It looks like one edge of...

One of my friends is in that unit. I think he left that patch at my house when we were living together and it made its way to Georgia with me!

I’ve been trying to find something for awhile for mine

Personally I think it’s just a matter of time before Jeep goes to IFS anyways. The percentage of people who buy a wrangler for serious off-roading is probably less than 1%. The vast majority are buying them because they look cool and they have the Jeep name. Maybe they drive down a dirt road...

It is extremely active. Haha. Welcome to the group! There are tons of thread to peruse through (especially if you’re quarantined). Check it out for ideas, tips, how tos, etc.

That’s quite the history! Mine is a little bit easier. I’ve owned quite a few vehicles over the years (I think I’m up to 13 or 14) but only 4 have actually been 4WD, and only 2 of them really capable on anything worse than a dirt road. In high school I had a 2001 Chevy Blazer. Great first car...

Sounds like I’ve pretty much decided on picking up a pair of FRS HTs for friends to use and a full mobile Ham for my rig. Now I just have to decide which one I want... I like the kenwoods with the remote mounted faceplates. Might be easier to mount in my rig with my ram mount system rather than...

Thanks for the response! Lots of good info in there. Yes I believe the GMRS license covers family so that should be a problem. As far as remoteness i am on the east coast so most places I go are heavily traveled and I am rarely that remote. It’s more for peace of mind than an actual emergency...

Any chance a Coleman stove fits in that drawer? I can’t remember the dimensions off the top of my head but this is basically the kind of setup I was planning on going with. Might be easier to buy than build it from scratch.

Lots of additional info incoming! I’d mainly like to have ham to use as a backup for emergency comms. Most of the people I ride with have a mixture of ham, GMRS, and CB. Currently I only have GMRS. I would like to have the capability to use ham in case of an emergency and I’d also like to have...

I’m currently in the market for a handheld Ham radio. I already have a midland GMRS hard mounted on my dash but I’d like to make sure I get the Ham side covered as well. Are there any handhelds that can be used for both Ham and GMRS? I’ve heard that Baofengs can be programmed to transmit over...

I am @matthewreedswims. It’s mostly just pictures of my dogs though. Haha

I really need to get myself a small camper.

Just a little doggo (he’s not so little anymore)

What do you mean by slide out? I actually have an ARB awning with their enclosed awning room that I sleep in. It’s a lot easier than trying to get my dogs into a RTT or up into the bed. Pic of the doggos in the tent attached for bonus internet points.

I was thinking about that too. I’m planning on changing up the system when I get back stateside. Waiting for this Coronavirus thing to be done with to go home. I’ve been working on designing a dual battery tray under the hood but if there’s not enough space it’s definitely going to end up back there

Same here. I was supposed to go home last week.

I think a search function would be a useful addition. I’m not seeing an option for that

I know at least some of you are military members like myself. Anybody else having to extend their deployment/cancel a PCS due to the current situation? Hoping to spread a little morale and let you know that you’re not alone! Included a photo I took on a deployment last year. Unfortunately the...
