    Modular cargo conversion

    Love the concept! modular is a great way to build (I have been designing commercial modular structures for the past 30 years) in your case it gives you all the perks you have mentioned, plus if any one part gets damaged or to well worn, you just replace it, or build a couple of different...

    My rant for the day...

    Totally agree! I hate to waste my time with 'click bait' especially when the result is a video that has nothing to do with what was in the title of the thread, or the apparent screen grab of the video that gets your attention is never actually in the video... I love to watch good YT content...

    Campground Insanity

    I have grown to like that look...it means we are having a good time and the general population just does not get it lol We get the look all the time, when we start yet another project in the driveway, pop up the tent in a massive storm, or in the weeds at the side of the highway searching for...

    Dustin, welcome to Overland Bound, and thank you for your service! I also am in the keep your 2500 club. Chances are if you go with a 1500 you will end up with some type of suspension, bigger tires etc and have a tall truck bed acess anyway. If you are going to be using the truck bed as a...

    How are you hauling your Gazelle T4 tent?

    Purchased a used Thule rocket box to carry our T4 on the roof rack of our WJ, has been up there for several years and holding up fairly well, enough room to pack a few other items up there with it also. As long as the tent is in there it is pretty quiet, off road with it empty makes it too...

    Newbie comms questions (HAM/GMRS/APRS)

    While I like to geek out on advanced features of HAM and lots of other tech things, in reality I just have trouble finding enough time to actually reach 'Nerdvana' levels most of the time. I often buy gear with huge capabilities, but 99 percent of the time I only use a few of the features. Yes...

    Newbie comms questions (HAM/GMRS/APRS)

    Make sure to check the mounting hole size on the Rugged radio a pillar mount, both of the mounts I received from them have a 3/8" dia hole, standard NMO connectors are a 3/4" hole. Rugged's coax fits the 3/8" and has adapters for non standard 5/8 and the 3/4 holes, however I have not had...

    Newbie comms questions (HAM/GMRS/APRS)

    I use the cross band repeat function occasionaly, although not as much as I used to. If i am going to be away from the vehicle (hiking for expample) I will leave it set up so my HT can have greater range for emergency comms (was popular during my SAR days also) now with the Garmin In-reach...

    GMRS

    I ended up testing all the various antennas in a multitude of locations until i figured out which ones could get the best swr in a given location, just moving the HAM antenna a few inches on the hood, made a huge difference. Now I have the following: GMRS - Rugged Radio mount on drivers side...

    GMRS

    Ran out of good antenna locations on the JKU so ended up with a cowl mount from Rugged Radio, and went thru three different antennas before finding one that had acceptable SWR in that location, the one that came in the box with the midland (Yes I am one of the few that uses Midland...

    PNW Overland Expo Question

    We will be going back also, Liked the event location (it helped that it rained a lot this season so the grass in the campoing area was pretty green), port-a-potties were cleaned often and the camping was very mellow, and even being under the approach path to the airport, was quiet at night. I...

    What Should Routing Icons Be?!

    I love it, however due to my obsession with Jeeps, I might be a bit biased, but that particular one does represent off road heritage well, and a nod to those who drove them while serving our country.
