We're gonna need the governor to seal the border that weekend!

I forgot: This thread is worthless without pics! Show us how you installed it.

I’ve been thinking about doing the same on my teardrop. It’ll let me get away from the utility trailer bearings and be able to add brakes. Not to mention making it more robust.

It’s been awhile, and more overland trips complete. This was coming home from a recent trip in the Texas hill country.

Welcome to the fun. You’re already finding how much you can learn by listening. before you know it, you’ll be in there contributing to the mass knowledge.

In general, no. You MIGHT get an antenna braod enough to cover UHF ham and GMRS frequencies, but you'd still need a switch or diplexer of some sort to isolate each radio to prevent destruction of one when the other is transmitting. You'll be better served with an antenna per radio. Locating...

it depends. The ht rubber duck won't go far inside a vehicle, but that may not matter depending on distances in your situation. Are you trying to hit repeaters, or talk to vehicles nearby in a convoy? In general a temporary/portable setup will be a mess of cables, especially with multiple radios.

I only use the lighter socket for a handheld. A mobile radio should go to the battery, not only due to the amperage, but for noise isolation. The lighter socket wiring is bundled with everything else, so can be a path to a noisy signal transmitted.

My local Tractor Supply also does refills.

I figured it was just a simple oops, we forgot a checkbox.

I like having one. It does limit the occasional use to haul long pieces of whatever, so I might may it easily removable. Perfect place for a fire extinguisher and a collapsible doggie water bowl.

SWEET truck! Don't sell that beauty, you'll never be able to replace it.

Exactly! I sent you a PM with thoughts about some of your other concerns.

This was one of the stream crossings from our last trip in the same area. your truck will be fine!

Yes, go! I’m doing it in a cop car with street tires.

Likely at the camp. People will come from several directions. I’m guessing @Mrprotaganist will have more info on where to meet or which people/vehicles will arrive first. That’s how we did Oxford ranch recently.

I like the reach in sides on that canopy.

Glad you could make it out to visit!

here’s one in east Texas in March. Looks fun. https://www.overlandbound.com/event/weekend-warrior-trip/

Holy crap! I just found the vectorbar page. No wonder you made your own.
