    We Got Comms

    What antenna specifically is that, please? Midland's site for the 115, 275 and 400 show a short whip type. Same for RightChannel.

And, the did not spray down into the inside of the truck bed cylindrical cross member. I would have cleared tha dirt a d sprayed down that...

    Rust proofing doesn't work, but do it yourself? A little contrary, there, sir. And I can attest, living in New England, rust "proofing" (prohibitor) does prolong the life of the frame and body of your vehicle when done properly. When not done properly. It can still help a lot. Fluid film is...

    Was there a convention in Massachusetts yesterday?

    I'm driving through Watertown Mass yesterday when I see a metallic tan Sprinter style van in front of me. I notice a spare on the back, thermal covers over the rear and side windows, what I beleive are solar panels on the top, and the unmistakable black cylindrical GMRS antenna mounted on an arm...

    Oddly I would think the rust I inhibitor may be worth it while extended warranty often is not. Plus, if you change your mind on the extended warranty you can bet they will be happy to sell it to you 3 years down the road. I wouldnt go with black rubberized underbody. Some sort of clear coat or...

    Absolute bare essential gear for overlanding

    I also just use a tarp for a shade. I usually carry 2 or 3 cheapo blue ones. I use one for ground cover, one over the tent if I'm renting, and one a an awning from the truck or Jeep to a couple of trees. But I like the idea of a canvass one set aside for an awning

    Show me a Road Sign.....really any sign...

    Mile zero is in Florida. There's a mile zero in Ft Kent too...usually the only mile-mark one direction. Both Ft Kent and Fla claim to be the beginning and not the end. Interesting history to the road and the adoption of the New England system of road marking

    Handy Tools

    Used one of these as well. I was a kid who would go to various farms in upstate NY to help with hay, harvest, whatever. Once you get the hang of a nice sharp scythe, you see the value in it for harvesting large swaths that were too small for the machines

    Handy Tools

    Wow. Havent seen one of these in the wild for 35 years. I remember making money as a kid going around cutting various neighbors lawns. That's where I first encountered one of these, at a neighbors house. After I cut his lawn he handed it to me and showed me how to swing it as if putting with a...

    1975 K5 -- someone talk me off the ledge!

    I had a friend who had a Ram Charger in the early 1990's. Kan we had a lot of fun with that in our early 20's. He also has a Chevy S-10 pickup. Crank windows, manual transmission. We want all over the local map with those. Those 1990's full size Blazers I had took a page out of the Ram Charger...

    Got my CB magnetic on the roof of my truck. Should I decide to pick up an MXT, I'd try to find a roof magnetic as well.

    1975 K5 -- someone talk me off the ledge!

    Among the several other rules and laws, I think it was actually the '75 model year that mandated the catalytic converter and tightened previous years regulations. The current rules of the state the OP is in may have an antiques or older vehicles clause, but a 1975 would probably come with a...

    1975 K5 -- someone talk me off the ledge!

    Well, I'M sure not gonna be the one to talk you off the ledge of buying a Sheriff Brody-era Chevy Blazer. When the devil on one shoulder, and the angel on the other both say "Do it!", then do it. When they disagree, it's still a 50-50 shot. Sounds cool
