I have not noticed much heat from the radio, does not have a fan in it. In the WJ, I removed the pull out cupholder located in the rear of the center console and mounted the radio in its space. I left the drawer face off so there is some ventilation. All the wiring runs through the center...

I have the MTX275 in the Jeep, All controls mounted in the microphone so the radio can be mounted out of site, great option for our WJ where four radios ad a tablet are fighting for dash space. Since the CB and GMRS are usually set on a fixed channel and do not get used all that often the all...

Not a lot of off road opportunities in Yellowstone, there are just so many tourists it would get destroyed. there is a several mile dirt trail in the north end, but not much else. There is a good dirt road (Ashton Flag Ranch Road) located half way between Yellowstone and Grand Teton with some...

I have three of the 2730 radios, one in each Jeep and one set up as a base radio in the house, also have the ID5100 in the Ram. The 5100 has some cool features including gps, touch screen and D-star, but overall I prefer the 2730. the audio is super clear, controls are very intuitive, and...

Hope everyone is having a good Thanksgiving weekend! and hopefully some have had a chance to get outside and explore. We finally got the chance to get our ARB awning mounted on the WJ, and recently re-routed the front brake line so it does not get severed again. Iron Rock Off Road critical...

As far as I know anything related to business or commercial use is still not permitted on the HAM frequencies. My guess is folks are buying the cheap Chinese radios, handheld and mobile, and either don't know or don't care that a license is required. Much better range than a CB and no monthly...

Have been thinking about creating one to match our WJ, There is a guy in Australia that makes a 1/9th scale WJ body that will fit the common brands of chassis. Just don't have a ton of time to spend upgrading a miniature version of the full size one I already spend too much time under... Of...

Bryce, first thing - Awesome Jeep, Love the old AMC line up, have a grand Wagoneer (not the new ugly one they plan on releasing) on my bucket vehicle list. I have used the Wilson antennas on magnetic mounts and they work reasonably well, however I have had some issues with tree branches...

I have had NAPA bottle jacks in the past, one of them is probably 15 years old and was reasonably priced and held up well, however they seem to have lost some quality, at least the last one I looked at. Have thrown away any of cheap imports, seems like the pump goes out in no time and you only...

welcome Todd, making some good progress on your rig, looking sharp!

Can you confirm the time? Message showed 730pm but ralllt point shows 5:30 ... heading over a pass so connection is a bit sketchy but going to try

Rob, welcome to Overland Bound from the left side of the state!, Good to see folks involved with SAR, hoping I can find some time to get back involved, I miss volunteering. Hope to see you on the trail somewhere

WE carry both a jump box, and heavy duty cables long enough to reach a vehicle parked behind (think they are 20 foot for the Jeep and 24 foot for the ram). I love the jump box, especially when .helping out a stranded motorist. I keep the cables because of my one is none, two is one prepper...

@EchoFJ I see that you guys are only half hour from us, Things have been a bit slow in the group in the north end, hopefully if the covid doesn't shut us down again things will pick back up. It is nice to have at least a couple of rigs on an adventure as it really is a good safety net. Our...

Since we have a Grand Cherokee and no outside storage we went with a Makita 16" battery powered chainsaw. We love it!, no fuel to spill, smell up the vehicle, or go bad. Seems to have plenty of oomph to cut several trees out of the way on one set of batteries, I do carry a spare set just in...

Not a bad list, one thing that can help out if you are concerned with overall size of the kit, you can tailor it to you particular vehicle. Most vehicles will not require a full set of sockets and wrenches, and those that don't fit fasteners on your vehicle can be left behind, this does require...

Drew, welcome to Overland Bound. Super nice job on building your rig out. Really great to see you getting out and enjoying life with your Daughter after all you have been through. The OB1 app is a work in progress, the team at Overland Bound is doing a great job with development, navigation...

Your lucky its just the sand that you are sinking into ... I seem to have the same issue on most surfaces, probably not too many burgers away from being worried about concrete .. lol good idea on the pads and extra feet though:)

Not all of us go into hibernation ... We are hoping to plan an at least a day outing soon, hopefully before the beer virus shuts things down again:( Went out scouting around the mountain loop hwy for some open roads and possibly campsites last weekend, ended up with a blown out front brake...
