For the roads you are mentioning a dually is not a problem. Mine has thousands of off-pavement miles on it with no problem - see pic below. Never had a rock stuck between the tires...I'm sure it does happen but it is pretty rare. I worked at a mine all my life where there were a lot of dual...
Yes, absolutely!
That hard side will weight 3000 lb or more once you have it loaded for traveling. If you carry all the other stuff you mentioned you are looking at another 1000 lbs on top of that. So now, not only are you looking at an F350 but maybe even a dually. Any half ton will have a...
Bought a 2016 F150 4x4 Supercab with the 3.5 Ecoboost new. 80,000 miles on it now and never been in the shop for any reason. Change oil/filters and rotate tires is all I've ever needed to do. Overall fuel mileage since new, hand calculated, is 20.5 and that includes a lot of miles towing a...
Something I just don't understand...going out into a remote area to get away from everybody - but taking all that electronic crap with you to stay connected??? Me, when I head into the outback I even turn off my cell phone. I don't want ANYTHING to disrupt the wilderness experience, I want to...
I often end up in an area for several days where there is absolutely no cell service so I just turn off my cell phone so its not using up battery constantly searching for service. When I do that, the Tread throws up constant reminders that it is disconnected from the phone. Have you figured...
That's true not just for tent camping and in all terrain, not just forest.
I live in the desert and the silliest thing I see is people setting up camp in a dry wash because it is free of brush and fairly level. It can also become a river from rain falling many miles away. And if I'm camped...
My experience has been that if you are down in a canyon or otherwise surrounded by tall mountains (that don't have repeaters on them) it really doesn't matter how much power your radio puts out or how good the antenna is, you're not going to get a signal out.
You must travel in the parts of the country that have a lot of repeaters. Out here in northern Nevada/southeast Oregon/southwest Idaho GMRS or HAM radios are good only for short-range car-to-car communications.
I belong to a Sheriff's Search and Rescue group and our vehicles are equipped...
