At the rate it's coming down, it might not clear till August!!! Crazy stuff!

I have the same mount, works pretty well but can't say I'm loving the 75WXT, small screen, small buttons, tinny sound if you don't add an external speaker. As clean as it is, I'm thinking about going back to a regular style cb, but with a small footprint and built in SWR meter.

Thanks for the heads up, I picked up the new Baofeng GMRS V1 to play with it as it went on a flash sale last week. I'll post up once I've had time to mess with it, it's pre-programmed with the repeaters as well. https://baofengtech.com/gmrs-v1

Flat bed is great option to have!! I've been thinking about adding a second flat bed trailer but you have the best of both worlds. Well done!

Try Amazon...although I don't think these were $720 on Qtech either. https://www.amazon.com/Truck-Lite-27450C-Headlamp/dp/B007ED7HNY

Lots of articles from CES unveiling of the new models last week, here's one: http://www.digitaltrends.com/outdoors/garmin-inreach-se-ces-2017/ I have the current now old generation InReach SE and it's been great, much better then my Gen 1 spot. The 2 way communication through text is very...

Agreed, that's utter BS, OP should fight it for sure!

We have the InReach SE after having a first generation Spot. It works great, no issues, battery life is great as well. While it would be a good back up to have the Explorer as a handheld stand alone GPS, the screen is so small I can't see it being someone's ONLY GPS. Does work pretty well for...

Really well done, I want to do something similar for my expo trailer rack, thanks for the ideas!

Interesting article regarding the 3.8, a longer version was published awhile back in Jp Magazine after they tore down a couple 3.8's with a 100K+ miles on them. Too many issues for a modern motor. http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/engine/1508-3-8l-jeep-wrangler-jk-engine-problems/ My 2010...

Something is up suspension/tire wise, I have the same lift, but smaller tires, 285/70 17's and I have zero tracking issues. Did 17 hours straight this past summer coming back from Colorado where traffic was regularly moving 80+, crazy storms etc. I'd suggest the same as others, tires, and...

Agreed and this is what I have been finding as well in my initial research, especially since I want a true mobile base station vs a handheld which is what keeps bringing me back to the MXT100. It's basically plug and play although I would add a permanently mounted antenna. No need to mess...

Been considering that option as well, I should probably start a new thread so I don't clog up this one. I'll link it once it's created.

Can't agree more with this, while it won't dissuade me from getting into Ham radio, the GMRS ends up being the go to on the trail for ease of use. I have 4 of the handheld GMRS bubble pack radios and because we hit the trails with a variety of experienced and inexperienced overlanders, they...

For a second I thought I'd grabbed my handheld CB and turned it on to Ch.19! As a contrast, we used GMRS radios from Los Angeles to Colorado and never heard anyone else on our channel.

Nice work! The axle swap is one of the most nerve wracking parts of the build getting everything just right!

I did the same, build thread in sig...

Not exactly on topic, but I fired up my 2M Baofeng handheld that I purchased on sale at Amazon awhile back just to see what I could hear, and to further inspire me to study for the test. I've heard very little at our home near Los Angeles, so I thought I would have better luck at our cabin in...

I'm with you Mike, I've tried a number of programs, including Gaia which I do like, but all of them seem to have their shortcomings like not being able to re-route on the fly. I also have a Zumo which is my only dedicated GPS but I'd prefer a bit larger screen for the Jeep. I think I am going...

An interesting alternative, especially for those wanting to keep FCC compliant, Baofeng now has a FCC certified GMRS specific handheld that includes GMRS repeater frequencies which I know someone posted was not possible with the MXT. I don't think there would be much money saved going this...
