It's looking good. So have you considered drilling through the bed and bolting the whole system to the body in addition to using the existing tie down points? Here's what I did to secure the platform which I can attach things to.

Before I reply to your specific request, it would be great to see the pics. I have a 5th gen and built a plywood platform for the cargo area which I extended into the back passenger seat a few area. This is my anchor platform for the added accessories...fridge, highlift jack, and miscellaneous...

Also that one pic in the write up looked like you were pulling the red hut with your rig. [emoji12] Sent from my SM-G960U using OB Talk mobile app

Hope your soreness doesn't last long. Ice packs and Advil are a campers best friend at times.

HAM (which a few of us have), CB, and FRS. This is the variety we had on runs lately. I use HAM. I loan one of my FRS radios to someone who has a CB to relay info to CB users since HAM is the main comm device. I position a HAM in lead, middle, and tail then have the others fall in between.

You'll also find that there are reasonably price Handheld HAMs also.

Welcome. Good to see another retiree willing to get off the pavement... :sunglasses:

Thanks. So instead of vid conferencing, it's Ham Radio conferencing on a specific frequency at a specific time....

Are you talking about the one off Dog Valley above Verdi, NV? Then yes, I have been to both. Both have some good finds. The one above Verdi is more traveled and picked at.

For us newbies to Ham world, can you explain a bit more of what the net would entail? Are you looking at a broadcast, contest, or other? Thanks in advance for helping me understand. ...KI7RAM Sent from my SM-G960U using OB Talk mobile app

You were smart to start with new tires and getting lifts is definitely the second thing to do. I learned the hard way going through death valley as a stock 2016 4runner :tonguewink:... got back home and purchased ICON lifts and KO2 tires. I'd look at getting rock sliders next (stock running...

The only moderate rock climbing is up to the peak. A stock Rubicon made it when we pre-ran the trail. Do you have the stock running boards on your 4Runner? If so, you may want to remove them if you go up this part of the trail. Oh! if you know Ellis Peak outside of Lake Tahoe, I was able to...
