The narrowband issue with the Midlands is an often discussed/debated issue over on the GMRS forums. Seems that most people find it to be a non issue in real world use with exception of some earlier MXT115s which didn't play well with other radios. But I agree that the commercial radios would...

BAM BAM the Jeep has been all over the country and it's roll cage has changed quite a bit. Seems pretty low in this video the driver's looks like he has to hunch over to keep his head from stick out of the top.

I do love my commercial radios but it's hard to beat the plug and play Midlands. Those kenwoods would be a great option but you'll either need to order from a place that can program them or setup to program them yourselves. Not hard to do but if you aren't interested in messing with radios...

You'll need a new antenna, a CB antenna wont' be resonant on the 460mhz frequencies. As for reusing the old mount I would just replace it with an NMO mount as the majority of antennas you will use for GMRS will be NMO antennas. For GMRS use I suggest going with a business band antenna in the...

Yes the Phantom antennas work quite well as long as you have a ground plane. If you could cowl mount it on a JK or JL or have a decent elevated rear mount you'd be good. 1128 is a 800mhz antenna, the area where Cell Phones typically operate in. I personally wouldn't use it for GMRS as a...

You'll probably get SLIGHTLY better performance out of the 6 inch whip but it'll probably be imperceptible in real world use. The Phantom should take tree limbs better as the little whip antenna will probably take a bend if it get's whacked hard enough.

It was sitting on the bench with the slide locked back cooling off. I just got done running my 150 practice rounds in drills.

Could possibly be overland related? Depends on if you target practice when you overland. Got bored and ordered up the stuff to build a 7.62x39 AR upper. Swore I would never own one but eh again.....boredom.

Just overall height. Instead of being a whip antenna like the 1/4 wave I posted the Phantom is a can with the antenna wrapped up inside it. It's how you'are able to get a shorter antenna and still have it be resonant. CB antennas typically do something very similar. If you look at something...

1/2 wave or the TRAM 1181 wont' clear his 10 inch limit with his roof mounted NMO. 1/2 wave is about 12 inches and the 1181 is 18 or 19 inches. He'll have to go with the 1/4wave or phantom. The Phantom looks like it will work fine in your application. The Truck roof makes a good ground...

My current gear storage solution. But I've got some of the Plano boxes as well which are quite good. I've went through many a storage solutions. This one works pretty well for me and has it's own shelving using so makes packing up and unpacking a lot easier and faster.

I didn't go to any National Park Campsites, I try to avoid NPs cause they nickel and dime me to death. All of the campsites were dispersed on either National Forrest or BLM land. The route I took was the New Mexico BDR (back country discover route). You can find the GPX files via a google...

Fry it up. Won't matter :D Those dates are merely suggestions.

It doesn't even take that much.

4.0 is six quarts total. That includes a filter change.

I wouldn't have even bothered the guy. Personally I get out there to get away from folks. I would have pulled in noticed he was there already and pushed on, especially if I knew there were other sites in the area.

We were a nation at one time lol Somewhere in Anza Borrego North of Ramona, Ca near Black Mountain Truck Trail Anza Borrego again Santa Rosa Mountain (right next to Toro Peak) yellow post site Pannamint Springs for the ADVRIDER NOOB rally. 2014 I believe. Yellow Post site near...

Awesome :D. Can't wait to see it finished. My wife had a 2012 Pilot 2WD but it was still a great vehicle.

Switch to VFO. Manually enter frequency they were using. Press menu go to CTCSS settings and set for whatever they were using if they were using them, if they weren't set both transmit and receive to "off". Done.

Could have just switched to VFO mode and made it work. If all you are wanting to program GMRS/FRS (they share all the same frequencies now with differences in bandwidth and power output) you need 1-22 from that list. I'd also go ahead and toss in the MURS frequencies as well. You need to find...
