    2wd rigs in action. Photos encouraged!

    River rd is pretty cool. Air down some and you’re good. Some of the roads marked 4wd only are laughable. You can drive a few in a Corolla. I think the only thing on Black Gap is that wall, otherwise it looks very doable

    Powering Electric Cooler- Questions

    Many of the generic brands also use dometic compressors. A 45L alpicool with either a dometic or LG compressor will run about $300. Mine has the LG compressor and will easily run 2-3 days without starting my rig. It’s hardwired in. I do have twin batteries. I imagine even in summer heat a...

    In Hot Pursuit

    During my recent trip it became obvious, from clanking, that the tire shop had lost most of the center cap spacers on thecopcar. I took the caps off for the duration of the trip. After a few days the look sorta grew on me, but the gap at the hub didn’t. I thought about black center caps for a...

    Baofeng GMRS

    OB Approved So You Want To Be A HAM? (US Edition)

    Basic code wasn’t hard until you got to about 18wpm. My grandmother earned her ticket at age 70, and topped out at Advanced class because she couldn’t quite hit 20. I did the same thing, hi hi. I did upgrade to Extra later.

    Big Bend National Park

    The NP was very crowded 2 weeks ago. No worries if you;re on the dirt roads, but plan ahead for the popular spots on paved roads. Several of the remote campsites we saw were pretty cool, although, I wouldn't personally camp down on the river.
