    2 month trip starting February 2022

    Most national parks do not have free camping. They usually have one or 2 nationally run campgrounds along with 1 or 2 private (KOA for example) campgrounds. The National Parks pass I mentioned will get you about 40% off of your stay at a national park's national campground. We were in the...

    Living without regret

    I dont know anyone without regrets of some kind. Big or small. But the idea of living for the moment and having all the fun and interesting adventures one can is a nice one.

    Those are beautiful sentiments. But...Um, are you on the wrong side of the road there?

    Buying an Old Used Rig... Wait- Isn't it Old and Used?

    Anecdotal good fortune and I'm betting the venerable @M Rose has a good eye for used cars, like I have. This is not at all the norm, nor should it be. If Buying a 10 year old vehicle, I would stand by everything I wrote. Dont be a gambling man with your ride. Pre- pandemic, my girlfriends...

    Comms on the road?

    Learn something new every day... But, but isnt that just merging an FRS/GMRS radio and an AM CB radio into the same box with a mode switch?

    Buying an Old Used Rig... Wait- Isn't it Old and Used?

    Suggestions where to START, yes sir... .check tires for tread, dry rot, or sidewall damage. Replace as needed. .motor oil. Check it. Look for metal shavings, green fluid coolant, or sludge. If it has no foreign fluids, metal shavings or sludge, just change it, including the oil filter. If it...

    That's the way to do it. Shop around, take your time, find one with maintenance records.

    Unless I am missing something, CB is AM. FRS/ GMRS is FM.

    Here's my setup in a nutshell. Missing is a pic of my Cobra FRS/GMRS handhelds with weather. And of course, I actually had just about every walkie talkie featured in Stranger Things. Fun days

    Buying an Old Used Rig... Wait- Isn't it Old and Used?

    No, you will not find something that old that does not require major maintenance. Period. Even if you get it from New Mexico, there will still be questions about the transmission, and did it ever tow, and how much. If not that, then all belts,hoses, tires and every vaccum line should be replaced...

    Starting the 1987 Full Size Bronco Build

    YES! The RamCharger is definitely included in that short wheelbase truck, 4x4 kickass group. I had a Blazer, one of my friends had a Ram Charger, and one had like a 78 Bronco. This was late 1980's, mid 1990's extending to maybe 5 years ago. Chevy missed the boat not bringing back a full size...
