That’s why I said at the truck stop... and rest areas

That’s a perfect hog gun...

That’s exactly it... build it for the way you use it. You drive differently than I do, and we go separate places... you might find RTTs convenient for you, while I find that only 1% of the places I go I would actually enjoy one.

I love “On The Air” and “QST” both are free to New ARRL members... and I think that they are running a Pandemic Sale on the print subscriptions for old members. I can’t remember if I had to pay for the contesting journal or not.

Well first off, since winch is a last resort for self recovery... yes I have one, yes I have winched myself out exactly 1 time in the past 30 years... and yes I have gotten stuck a lot more than that... The best recovery tool is knowledge gained from experience... how do you gain experience? Go...

Ford, Chevy and Dodge all have 4x4 conversation vans built by various conversion companies... you can find early 2000 models for around 8-10,000 USD. They are hard to find, but out there... @oneleglance had a van built for him last summer for SEMA... check out his build and shoot him a DM with...

It sounds like a good package deal you are proposing... I love the FJ-40s btw... as for ebrake... you can get a disk brake conversion for the transfer case (not sure if that will make the rear drive shaft too short). The other option is a 4 wheel disc brake conversion... (this is the route we...

Ohh trust me, I wish there were a national license as well... pro tip... get a 1-3 day license where you can... Coming into Oregon on your proposed trip leads to some killer fishing on the, Dueshutes and Rouge Rivers, both notorious for their swift cold waters perfect for breeding large...

@asummer , Your trip takes you through Southern Idaho where @David H resides as the Southern Idaho Member Representative. Then through my area in Eastern Oregon, @Big G is the southern Oregon Rep. Once you cross into Washington @Greg Eigsti @Gabriel Bozeman and @PNW Explorer will be your POCs...

I’m in the far northeast corner of Oregon... about 2 hours from Idaho to the east and 2 hours from Washington to the West both using I-84. I am assuming you are getting off of I-84 in between Meridian Idaho and Onterio, Oregon, then traveling south west along the Oregon/Nevada borders to get to...

Shhh... that’s supposed to be top secret info...

I get contractor garbage bags from the hardware store (Walmart’s are ok but not as heavy duty), and stick them inside the “Trash-A-Roo”, or just tie a knot in the bag and strap it to my roof rack if I have several. As for dumping trash, it depends on; where I am compared to home, how much...

You would also find that you have a lot more in common with a lot of us than you think... In OB land it’s the adventure, not the ride. I see so many people get in here with gear envy... I started out in 1995 with a 1981 Ford Courier 2wd lowered mini truck... I went 80% of the places Jeeps...

I actually also have a 2000 Ram with the 5.9 gas engine that I overlanded a crossed the us for nearly a decade before getting the Bronco... I know several guys in my neck of the woods have Rams on the trails all the time as well... @PNW EXPLR and @MrWilsonWJ are two right off my head that do...

Trash-a-roo

Can’t wait either... hashing our last minute details with @KRose. I have a conference call with HQ tomorrow morning... we are discussing hitting the road before the call and then pulling over or she drives while I’m on call....

Welcome Amanda, I’m the Northwest Director. Sounds like you are pretty experienced as an overlander... where do you plan on visiting in the Northwest?

So @KRose and myself are leaving La a Grande, Oregon tomorrow and heading up to the river at the end of the road. We plan on staying Thursday night through Sunday. If there is any interest in joining us send me a DM.

I second Jim’s thoughts... that is a very bad place for a air valve... I don’t care the experience level... there is a good reason that commercial applications put the air valves behind the bumpers or tucked inside the frame... I’ll let your experience level look to why that’s a bad location...

....The End.... So I was so upset with the Bronco I let it sit broken down for about a week before I even opened up the hood. So Sunday (August 9, 2020) I started the power steering pump swap. I ran into a huge problem (that turned into a small problem); the winch return line to the steering...
