Aaron, Thank you for starting a meetup down in your area! That will be a great opportunity for the South of Seattle folks. We won't be able to make this one as we have another event, but will definitely travel south and attend once and a while if you make them regular. Your efforts at...

My 3500 always beats out my wrangler mileage wise and has power to spare. and its 5k lbs heavier . does suffer on tight trails and has a horrible breakover angle being a mega cab model, it will lose its dually bed in exchange for a habitat one day soon I hope, and then it will become our...

I am not sure that the ideal overland vehicle could actually be created, I would like it to be fuel efficient, small and nimble for tight trails, reliable and easy to work on. Would have plenty of space to sleep/sit/work inside of in all seasons, and be able to haul all the required...

Great comments, Used to haul heavy equipment years ago and cant believe how many times I would run into a vehicle flying around a blind corner, then having the deer in the headlights look when all they can see is a huge grill in the way.

With a JK and as any different antennas and radio frequencies I have on board, a lot of testing and moving different antennas around was done to get the best SWR readings for the chosen bands. for the CB I ended up using a 5 foot top loaded firestick mounted on a short tower off of the spare...

Have the Uniden CMX760, radio is mounted under the drivers seat along with my FTM400 body. ran a cat 5 cable up under the dash and drilled a hole in a flat spot just below the level of the glove box door for a bulkhead fitting, now I can just plug in the mic and have a hanger for it on...

I have CB for pretty much the same reason, lots of logging trucks in our local hills and they all still use CB. did finally switch to the all controls on the mic style as it is seldom used and takes up way less space then.

Gary, looking forward to meeting you, we have not had a chance to get down your way yet for any events or meetups. If your friend is up to camping with a group we would be happy to have the both of you to join us in the group camp. (really no matter anywhere you camp there is next to...

Sounds like you are going to have a great time, and the overland rally will happening next year too!

Not an overland trip, and we stopped a few feet short of making it a underwatering adventure, but a nice view through the windshield this evening

@hstraw, Welcome to Overland Bound! New tires and wheels really fit that truck, very nice.

Linda, Welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State.

looks like you have me beat by one 'quill'

We have found the highway travel time a welcome part of the trip If we have a long haul, we will leave at midnight or close to it, and that way we get out of our own state long before the sun comes up and quickly feel that we are on an adventure. We are always on the look out for the 'biggest...

Now just need to add a column for 'do you have a radio addiction and lots of room for antennas' and then lines to all choices below …. just asking for a friend, I don't have a problem, not sure why the top of my rig looks like a porcupine

Steve, Thanks for a great meeting this month, lots of great discussion and participation and some good Ideas thrown around. See y'all next month.

Well said! (although I can say I have never met a cheesecake that I have not liked, and that may actually be the ultimate test of achieving burn out to see how much time it takes to be tired of something, Hang on while I get my fork.) Our adventures, while are never planned or scheduled...
