    Kc hilites gravity

    The horizontal beam pattern is pretty typical for a true fog light, a wide beam close up and low to the ground. If you are a looking for more distance then go with a driving light but also know that in most states you are only supposed to run them with your high beams as the will blind oncoming...

    Kc hilites gravity

    I have the amber version on my Jeep and they work well for me in the fog. They were a drop in replacement for the Jeep fog lights. I've had them for about a year and have zero complaints.

    Need a strong roof rack for a Jeep JK

    I'm about to to install the Rhino Rack on my JK. I want to be able to move our RTT from the trailer to the Jeep fairly easily so I am working on a solution which may incorporate the Frontrunner quick release RTT mounts on the Jeep side. Pricey, but a friend of mine has them and they work well...

    Rig to Trailer Battery Charging

    I would avoid the NL system, they don't like the heat. Many threads on Expedition Portal regarding them failing, including the one I started. You'd be much be off with a Blue Sea 7622 ML-ACR which will do the same thing as the NL. Sorry, tried to link it on Amazon but it's not working...

    New Midland MXT275 (GMRS Mobile)

    I'm curious as to how bright the handheld display is at night? Does it have a setting to dim it? Thanks.

    Alternative to Gobi Racks

    Nice products but I just couldn't bring myself to drill that many large holes into my hardtop. Good to hear you aren't having issues. I sold off my Gobi, too heavy and the wind resistance is noticable/drop in mpg of 1.5. I think I'm going to go Rhino Rack Backbone with the platform rack and...

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    The difference is it's continuous versus the InReach which sends at intervals. That said, Glympse appears to be useless without cell service or wifi if what's being stated above is correct. The InReach will work anywhere you have satellite reception. I use the InReach and find it priceless.

    4Runner Owners Registry

    Technically it's my better half's, but we picked this 2018 TRD Off Road Premium up from the dealer last week. It's our first Toyota, having mostly owned Jeeps. I'm excited to try it out on the trails, it will be a mild build as we have the Jeep Rubicon for the rougher stuff. We'll upgrade the...

    Two small cb’s. Which to choose?

    Yup, same here on the tuning with the 75! I've got a full size older Uniden CB in place of the Cobra along with a Midland MXT115 GMRS radio. I've got my eye on the Bearcat 880 (same as your 980 minus SSB) but we've mostly been using the GMRS radio with my travel mates.

    ARB 50QT power questions

    I started with Diehard Platinums (rebadged Odysseys) and no longer made. I also had a National Luna dual battery system which turn out not to work very well under the JK hood, it doesn't care for the heat. Both Platinum's died within 2 years, partly due to the malfunctioning NL system...

    Two small cb’s. Which to choose?

    I had the Cobra 75 and I ditched it for a full size CB. It was hard to hear, hard to read, and not great to operate one handed.

    ARB 50QT power questions

    I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to charge but the best charge you can get while driving is going to come from the alternator. The most efficient way for the ARB to be powered is from a dedicated 10 gauge 12 volt outlet, like the kit ARB sells. The factory 12v outlets are smaller gauge...

    I just uninstalled and re-installed on both my phone -Android 9 and my tablet -Android 8.1 and both appear to be working now. Not sure what the issue was there.

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    Anyone else having issues with the app crashing on Android when selecting the premium layers? As soon as I try to add a new map layer it crashes on both Android 8.1 and the new Android 9. I think I sent feedback with logs but it crashes so not sure the feedback was sent. Addtional...

    Cooler Suggestions

    I made the mistake of leaving my Lifetime very full of water on the way out of our last excursion and it did leak a bit. It was in our off-road trailer which was bouncing around pretty good on the trail and still the leakage was minimal. As an after thought I added an 90 degree garden hose...

    GPS App's - What do you recommend?

    I used Gaia GPS on our Mojave Road trip and really liked it's functionality and the Nat Geo maps. I had it running on both my Google Pixel XL and my old Samsung Tab 7 inch. The tablet is running Android 4.1.2 and while it worked ok in February it's getting pretty tough to run Gaia on it. No...

    Midland MXT115?

    I've got one and the Midland 6db antenna to go with it. Couple of my buddies have it as well and we used them on our last trip on the Mohave Road and they worked flawlessly. One of my friends got it just before the trip and just used the mag mount antenna that comes with the radio and we had...
