Fieldcraft survival got me started into looking into overlanding. I am brand new. I want to plan my build before building it to ensure that I spec it out the way to best fit my life style. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Hello Thomas (@Treid82) welcome from Oklahoma.
Hopefully you can join our weekly Friday night ham radio net.
Time : 5:30PM Pacific Standard Time or 17:30 hours Pacific Standard Time
Where : Echolink Node 591550 (USA-GNG) known also as Grits N Gravy, DMR TG 1137550 and Allstar 41130
Anyone can listen only here www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/29437/web
I believe there is a repeater in/around Roanoke that gets connected for the net. @TerryD is up in there area as well and may know which repeater specifically, he's also an Xterra guy.
If you can't connect to the repeater don't worry most of us use the Echolink app.

Hello Thomas! Being that you're a ham in the area AND drive an Xterra, I'm surprised we haven't crossed paths before.

Fixing to upgrade to the new Toytec Boss Aluma Series suspension and add the Southern Style Offroad front bumper and Smittybuilt winch before our upcoming trip to Utah and Arizona . Look forward to seeing some of you on the trails !
