    CB NGP antenna question

    The NGP Firestik that you have linked on Amazon comes with a mount with nylon insulators to keep the antenna itself insulated from the mount. If you go with the separate mount linked, it *looks* like it might also have the insulators. If not, and the hole is too small, you may need to enlarge...

    Communications for the Beginner

    I emphasized the key aspect of that recommendation. Just because you can buy a GMRS capable radio, it is still illegal to operate on those bands without appropriate licensing. And it is illegal to tune the aforementioned Baofeng radio to FRS or GMRS frequencies.

    Automatic or manual transmission?

    Yea, that's a low one. I had a 2002 WRX Wagon that I lowered and stiffened for autocross. That was so low I had to drive the front onto a 2X4 to get the floor jack under the lip. :) The 5-speed turbo Subaru I was offloading was a 2008 OBXT that I'd lifted. Plenty of clearance, no low end grunt...

    Automatic or manual transmission?

    In 47 years of legal driving, the 4Runner is my first automatic car. I found with the previous vehicle (5-speed turbo Subaru) that I had to slip the clutch too much at low speed uphill driving. Then and there I decided to get an automatic for my next vehicle.

    Thanks for the easy step-by-step, @MBroenkow It was quick and easy. I just got back from picking up a Midlands MXT115 radio, too. Thank you, Steve

    Strange Encounters in the Woods...

    I first found and linked the Animal Encounter thread. Then remembered the other one, and searched "scary". We apparently have a lot of scary threads. :)

    I deleted three other threads on this topic, and pointed here as the reason. The National Geographic link seems to be making the rounds again after first being announced last August.

    Has Overlanding Become Trendy?

    I agree to a point. But there's always some vehicle specific trend happening. Fast n Furious ruled ten years ago. Around here (Ohio) it seems to be diesel pickups with open 6" exhaust creating locomotive sized black clouds... Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Trophies, Badges, and Ranks!

    There was a problem with the Influencer II badge. Michael fixed it too well, which wrongly gave anyone who had posted three times in Boot Camp the badge. Then he fixed it back. ;) Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

    Posts per page

    It was 10 posts per page, but sometimes each post has several images per post. So now instead of scrolling through, say, 40 images waiting for them to load, you scroll through 160 images waiting for them to load. I'm on LTE this week, and its slow waiting for images to load. I'd prefer fewer...
