    US East New Egypt, NJ Rigs & Coffee

    Thanks everyone for coming to our small Rigs & Coffee this morning. Turnout was awesome, I think about 15 or so rigs showed up. We hung out for a couple hours then went on a little ride through the Pines. Mark your calendars for Feb 1st, which is my monthly meet-up at Backward Flag Brewing in...

    Handhelds or vehicle mounted

    I don't know what their reason is or if they're being deceitful, I'm just helping Chris find a starter radio. I was the second person to reply here and I never said to buy an expensive mounted radio.

    Handhelds or vehicle mounted

    Yeah my mounted MX275 is great, I put the speaker in the driver side footwell by the door and the handmic by my radio. So I hear the sound from both directions. My handheld is pretty loud, I don't remember ever having a problem with hearing anything. That said, I don't wheel with the radio on...

    I believe Ambassador is just the category name for that particular trophy list. You can select which completed trophy to display under your name in the Preferences section of the settings.

    Tomorrow! Weather looks 50/50 depending on what app you look at. Let's have a good turnout regardless of the weather, there's plenty of indoor seating if it rains. :sunglasses:

    Linking maps

    I don't know about a direct link, but you can add locations to the map in the app privately. That way only you can see your special locations etc. and it will keep them saved for you. One thing the app can do is the reverse, you can click a point in the app and send the navigation directions to...

    Handhelds or vehicle mounted

    I've heard mixed good and bad reviews about them. Namely that they keep making new ones to dodge regulations, not sure how bad they really are. One thing I can confirm is how many companies advertise their radios as compatible with other brands etc. except with Baofeng. I saw the Midland rep in...

    Going it alone, or not?

    Tell me about it! Look at the size of that box of donuts on my dash behind his Scout. Haha we were hopped up on sugar and coffee doing rally speeds just trying to keep up with him North of Moab in the White Wash Sand Dunes

    Handhelds or vehicle mounted

    I don't have HAM but I can only mimic what others have said, CB was a great platform when it was widely used. Unfortunately they were a day late and a dollar short when they finally started allowing FM. It would've been the new thing if we hadn't all already purchased GMRS. We'll probably never...

    Handhelds or vehicle mounted

    I have the above mentioned Midland MX275. It works great and I've never had trouble staying in contact on the trail. I have the 3db stealth antenna and the 6db whip. Then, I have 1 Midland handheld to pass on to a spotter or just somebody who doesn't have one on a ride. If you can only buy one...

    Going it alone, or not?

    90% of my time out is alone, when my daughter is a bit bigger I'll bring her along but my wife thoroughly dislikes offroading. She's down for some softroading, and is very outdoorsy, just not in the wheeling sense. Being by myself or sometimes with my dog tagging along is very refreshing. Out in...

    US East New Egypt, NJ Rigs & Coffee

    Let's have a small meet and greet "cars & coffee" style at Charleston Coffee House in New Egypt this Sunday the 14th at 11am. Nothing fancy, just a cool get together to plan some rides soon. This place has good reviews and is about as central in the state as I could get. I live in South Jersey...

    handy "tool" for old eyes

    I carry a type of magnifying glass as an emergency firestarter. When I got lasik back in 2010 they told me when my eyesight started to go down again I could get the surgery again no problem. Haven't needed to test that yet.

    The OFFICIAL Trans NJ Trail Thread

    Ran a short section this morning with @phillyphorester . Went from Whitesbog to Reed Rd. Trails are mostly dry, a few puddles with about 1/4inch or so of ice on top. There is currently a downed tree across the road at 39.934608, -74.421572 and of course it's the ONE day I don't have my chainsaw...

    Electric chainsaw recommendations?

    I'm guilty of always filling it to the top. I'll try that trick next time!

    Wheels spacers

    This is all just speculation but, for your truck in particular I think spacers would just hinder your turning ability in tight situations. You have a long and already wide truck. Those folks in little 2 door Jeeps can push their wheels out to help with obstacles because they can turn on a dime...
