Welcome to Arizona! I've been out here for 17 years. I love it but the heat and sun wreak havoc on plastic and wood. They will last a couple years before becoming warped or brittle and will probably look bad by October. If you have to store them 24/7 outside, you might consider an aluminum...

First, congratulations on getting your ticket. Start small. Figure out what you feel your needs are, then build from there. Along the way you will find your 'next step'. A simple baofeng with a magnet mount antenna can be had for around $50. I've reached over 7 miles line of site with that...

Hello Everyone - I just signed up. My name is Peder. I'm an 8 year Arizona (Phoenix Area) transplant from Northern California. I never really did much 'offroading' or overlanding until 2013 when I decided it was time to upgrade from the 2wd Tundra to a more capable off road vehicle. I've...
