    I would love some feedback on planning my first real trip-Southeast US planning on escaping the summer heat

    It depends on how you plan your trips. I drive from Baton Rouge to Clayton. Its a pretty long run, so I have given up on hunting a good dispersed site after that drive...or even entering a trail for that matter. Instead I head straight to Sarahs Creek campground. On a weekday you might be the...

    I would love some feedback on planning my first real trip-Southeast US planning on escaping the summer heat

    I have a video clip of that area on my instagram overland louisiana. It can be as difficult or easy as you want depending on your line. I have gone through it with guys in their 20s doing it mostly on three wheels? But im 53 and wheel mostly like a 53year old. I mean i have a lot of time and...

    I would love some feedback on planning my first real trip-Southeast US planning on escaping the summer heat

    I havent had any issues. Id say all but a few miles of the traverse can be done in 2wd with decent tires and good ground clearance. I am lifted 3” on 33” tires. Its probably easier going west to east on tray because the tougher terrain will be on the downhill side of the track. I prefer taking...

    I would love some feedback on planning my first real trip-Southeast US planning on escaping the summer heat

    I have done it in its entirety once. I love the area. I plan weekend trips there now and go to do the section you have skipped. I drive straight to clayton and take warwoman road up to sarahs creek campground and stay the night. Then a few miles from there take the travers track west. To me this...

    LA/MS Roll Call

    I have installed a HAM radio in my rig. It is a Yaesu FTM400. I am looking for someone in our general area who has some ham experience to help me program it. If anyone is willing please let me know. I have no problem driving a couple hours for a little insight.

    HAM interference with fog lights?

    I appreciate and experienced HAM who has had the same issue chiming in on this. As a newb, it had me scratching my head as to what I was doing wrong. I do have a 2awg battery cable to re route and that still stands a chance to help, but you are right... clear as a bell with the fogs “off”. I...

    HAM interference with fog lights?

    Which lights are you running? A friend has his antenna mounted about 8” from a led ditch light and no static. I have been focused on other projects and havent come back around to trying to resolve this one yet.

    LA/MS Roll Call

    I took a drive out there weekend before last. I saw only a few other vehicles. Stuart lake cg was closed and a sherriff parked at the gate. It had rained the night before and a few of the smaller trails I tried to explore were too soupy to risk without a 2nd vehicle. You should be fine as far as...

    HAM interference with fog lights?

    I have 2awg ground and power run from battery to a distribution block under drivers seat. One side of block powers the ham. The other powers audio equipment. I am prepared to run direct to battery if needed but have not implemented the things i wanted to try first. I have been busy with a dash...

    HAM interference with fog lights?

    I am new to HAM. Just installed the radio and studying for license which I aim to get as soon as libraries reopen. I have not been able to wrap my head around programming the radio with the RT software, so the only thing I am doing currently is monitoring a NOAA weather station about 60 miles...

    HAM interference with fog lights?

    I suspect a leg of the 2awg in engine compartment needs reroute. If that doesnt resolve, then I will be stumped for sure.

    HAM interference with fog lights?

    I am having some added static/interference when fog lights are turned on. The fog run on the factory wiring harness but are diode dynamics brand lights. The radio power takes from a block under drivers seat that is supplied via 2awg direct from battery. The antenna is on rear hatch mount. Fogs...

    Louisiana Overland 2017 T4R TRD ORP Build and Adventures

    Ill be doing a HAM radio install soon. In the meantime, I did a project to improve handling and droop. I added urethane bushings on front and rear sway bars, adjustable rear sway bar links, and a panhard correction bracket. Now that the sway bar and panhard are back to correct geometry she...

    I have a 2017 4runner with an aftermarket rack and a RTT. I have to admit the RTT isnt the easiest thing in the world to access to deploy or put away up that high. I have the southern style offroad full length rack. It is low profile and I am able to leave two cross bars bolted to the tent and...
