Ham has such an upside, and I feel like more and more people use it. I have an eight watt BaoFeng attached to an external antenna that was pretty inexpensive and works quite well.

Sorry for your troubles. I’m interested in the Roam boxes. Could you please tell me the sizes and prices? Thanks

I probably should have searched first, but hey, let’s jump right into a question. I love my 4x4 guy, but he really is a Jeep guy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But I’m looking for a recommendation of a Tacoma shop in the SF Bay Area, Sacramento, or Central Valley. Who can you...

Del, I don’t know what happened, but I tried a few more times and I’m in. It must have just been my own idiocy. No real surprise there. Thanks

Tried again and it said there was already an account but it won’t let me log in.

Don’t know what’s going wrong. I fill out the form and it just says we were unable to create a login. No idea if I’m screwing it up or it’s on their end.

I’m sorry to say but I’m going to bail. I really like DV but I’ve been there a lot and I’ve especially been to the places that are still available. I’m sorry to miss out on traveling with new people but I hope I get to meet you another time. ☹️

I’m on my way!

It looks like the current plan involves jumping off from Trona first thing November 3? Are we thinking that we’ll meet up and camp together November 2? Trona is a long way from damn nearly everywhere.

Some years ago I met a man with an exceptional pedigree with Tacomas and he told me that the lower ball joints, though quite reliable, were the most common failure point on the trail. That was enough years ago that I wonder if that was a 2nd Gen issue. I’m curious if anyone has good info on this...

I’ve found several references to people being happy with their hitch mounted tire carriers, but I find it so hard to imagine that one could really take the punishment of heavy duty off road use. I mean, the way my stuff gets shaken around bouncing down forest and desert roads seems like the...

I’m not having any luck searching forums but that’s probably my own ineptitude. I’m almost certain I want a drawer fridge for the back of my Tacoma where I have done a seat delete. It’s seems like a Dometic 30 liter is the choice but the Dometic website is confusing and the two customer...

I forgot about this thread! I did make it up there, I have no idea when it was. It was pretty cool. Extremely clear when I was there so the view was spectacular. There’s one switchback near the top that was kind of hairy for me, but I have a Tacoma double cab long bed so my wheelbase is longer...

I want to make it clear that I am not trying to be critical about anyone’s past actions. My opinion is carried over from many years ago when cell phones were becoming more commonplace and I didn’t yet have one. I came across a situation where a young child was as being endangered by an adult. I...

Since you are posting here I assume that one of your main areas of interest is using your radio for overlanding. If so you may find depending on your area that CB is nearly extinct and GMRS is uncommon at best. HAM is the overwhelming choice where I live. And it seems to me the same holds true...

Can you text me please at 209 352 0585. Thanks, Rob

Just got my Camp Chef Compact Fire Ring. I’ve only tested it in the back yard so far, but it suits my needs. Legal virtually everywhere all the time, safer than wood, good heat, visually appealing, no wood to carry, no smoky smell on me and my clothes for days, and perhaps most importantly I...

TBH, by shortly after I posted this I think I had talked myself out of it. My biggest concern is really my headlights, but I haven’t damaged them yet with low speed impacts with brush, so there’s really no benefit to a brush guard in that respect. They don’t protect the sides of the truck, so no...

I appreciate your response. I know you’re not attacking me but I’m going to defend myself anyway. :blush: I spend the majority of my "off road” time on Forest Service roads. I never blaze my own trail. But there can be a significant amount of brush intrusion over the path. That is the reason...
