Hahaha! THIS!

I've been doing SAR for 3 years now. In that time, one teammate's rig was broken into and had all his gear stolen. IDK if he had stickers then, but he sure doesn't now. Personally, I don't either for all the aforementioned reasons. I don't even carry magnets, usually there's enough official...

Absolutely. Looking forward to it! If you're traveling up through Idaho and want to convoy let me know.

I've been using Motion-X GPS for about a year (Note that Motion-X GPS and Motion-X GPS Drive are not the same thing, the latter is for road navigation). I bought Motion-X GPS over Gaia because it is much cheaper and did everything I need it to. The app is $2, and that gets you the whole app...

Congratulations! Link? Pics?

I can't speak for the Windows and Android options, but I have had excellent success with the iPad and the app "Motion X GPS." It's only $2 for the app, and $5 for custom map tiles (Google, Bing, etc). I download map tiles directly onboard in advance of a trip, which allows me to navigate on full...

Very well thought out build. I can relate to a lot of the direction and focus. Are you going to the NW Overland Rally in late June?

+1. IMO, that dealership loses all of their credibility stalling like that.

Man this thread takes me back. I bought a bone stock 2004 CC XE N/A V6 extended bed Fronty in 2007ish. Although I didn't mod it much, I took that thing on long dirt road trips, canyoneering, Glamis, SAR missions, and even got some air under the tires on the stock suspension once. Other than a...

For the distance, that's totally subjective. For me, my trailer build is currently being produced 900 miles from me (about 14.5 hours one way). Breaking this type of trip up over the course of two weekends and a full business week can make it a vacation, not a chore. On the other hand, I'm...
