Here is a cheat sheet that I found useful for my FT60. I don't know a lot about the FT50 but I have 4 Yeesu radios and they all seem to work more or less the same way, so I suspect you may find some use in this: http://rick.sparber.org/bg60.pdf Good luck!

amateur racing, offroading, and working events like you described (marathons, regattas, bike races, etc.) are the reasons that I have my HAM license. While I do have respect for the rules (as someone mentioned, when you earn it, people tend to have more respect) I think there is a population...

I have a 2011 Pro-4x and I am really happy with it. That being said, I would NOT pay an extra $4k for the package. I got a great deal on mine (dealership was going out of business and my X had been sitting on their lot for over a year) so I bought it. Bottom line is that if you don't need a...

I'm driving a 2011 pro4x, stock-ish still. IIRC, the stock tires are slightly bigger than the non-pro4x models. I have an aftermarket (Maxterra) rear bumper/tire carrier (+60lbs, maybe?) and an aftermarket intake. I have tested my fuel economy a couple of times (I don't do it often because...

Nice Xterra! Looks great!

Ouch. Sorry to hear about the motor but at least she's running again! We found out last night that you will definitely be seeing Heavy Sweep. We're also being granted the honor of managing the rally start in lovely downtown Cheraw! I'm getting really stoked now…fly out from Boston...

I'll see you there! I'll be bringing up the rear in Heavy Sweep this year so, hopefully, you won't see much of me. :-)

I'll have to go take a look at the rear bumper thread again…when I got my Maxterra the jerry can holders weren't an option but that is something I would be interested in.

Pics, or it didn't happen:

Not sure what model you're talking about but I have a 2011 Xterra and have a "Maxterra" rear bumper with tire carrier. Shipped to my door about $800. I was really happy with the quality and the communication I received from Dave. It's not a company, just a guy in his garage but, when I bought...

The Terrano is so cool….You don't see too many in the U.S. :-)

Yup. I managed to get the dealer to knock about $6,000 OFF of the sticker price on my 2011 Pro-4x. LOL

Sorry to hear that you had to sell the Pathy. I traded in my 2001 R50 about a year and a half ago because I got an amazing deal on a 2011 Xterra Pro-4x. The R50 was a bulletproof truck for me. Not the best platform to start from if you're intent on hardcore off-roading, IMO, but for overland...

Cool! It's nice to see some other rally folk here! I've been service crew, 00, sweep, and heavy sweep at a some of the east coast NASA events (West Virginia, Sandblast, etc.). Was going to work Black River Stages this year as well but that plan sort of fizzled. Hopefully, my friend who...

Congrats on your new purchase. Looks sweet!

I have a 2011 Xterra Pro-4X. You're going to love the Fronty. Stock build is super-capable. If you're going to do serious wheeling (stumps, rock crawling, etc.) you might consider upgrading the factory skid plates. They're pretty thin. For sliders, also check out Hefty Fab Works. Someone...

Piccard and Walsh's trip to the Challenger Deep, Mariana Trench.

McMaster-Carr is probably a good place to source them from, too.
