So is this a modified Eaton E-locker? Like what is found in most Chevy vehicles from the factory that are fitted with a rear E-locker? I remember these having a number of problems...but that was like, 10 years ago. Also just looked at your chart, no 10 spline option. So that is a deal breaker...

Interesting. If nothing else, finally a decent set of off road wheels for the newer trucks that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Yeah I'm having trouble hitting the repeater next to my house. Either my HT is crap, the CHIRP settings are crap, or I'm just completely useless. I've tried to raise anyone on the repeaters, but nothing. And yes, I did walk up the street and had line-of-sight to the repeater...literally I...

Thimble. Its what I run and its fine. Go talk to Steve at southeastoverland.com about synthetic. He has all kinda options and good pricing.

Just briefly looked over the specs. Overall it seems to compete with their traditional M-line of winches in terms of specs. The biggest benefit with this new series is the Contactor solenoid and the synthetic rope, straight out of the box. The solid state solenoid is extremely nice to have from...

Dumb question: which Jasper repeater are y'all using? I'm still figuring this all out. With the diamond antenna I bought for my hand held, I'm having reception issues when I'm in my house. However when I am outside, I can pick up the downtown atlanta repeater. Next week I'll probably do a...

Baofeng BF-F9. I'm just going to get a connection cord and chirp and program it all in.

Just passed my exam this past weekend. Now just waiting on my callsign. Next I want to find someone near me to have a beer with just to chat with about it. Of course the handheld I bought is super difficult to program with super vague instructions...

So I just got my HAM radio license. 1st off, yeah, it isn't "plug and play". Not by a long shot. So if keeping it simple is the way to go, then stick with SAT phone. Technician: Basically, 2M and 70cm radio. The benefit of this is 2m is pretty much everywhere. I've been enjoying tuning into...

If you are going to buy a truck and bring it back, start looking for a 24 year old defender in Spain/southern france/Italy, etc. Rust free, many have AC, and LHD. It'll be too new to import when you buy, but when you are ready to come back, it'll be of the right age. So buy there, bring to...

Be mechanically sound. That right there, is the most important bit. It doesn't matter how many LED lights you have when you are on the side of the road with a driveshaft in 5 pieces. Rangers are good trucks. I hate fords, but those are good. Also Ford Explorers. I have a number of friends who...

I'm in the "newbie" boat currently. I've got my hand held still wasn't quite sure on what to do. I found this guy on youtube who walks you through how to program your first ham radio. Its a good stepping stone and helps simplify the ridiculousness that is ham radio. Here are the links...

I've been looking for a replacement for my 176C. I think this is it. And yes, I do hate touch screen devices. When off road, the screen gets dirty. Easy to clean without messing something up. Also when bouncing around, buttons are very nice to have.

I'm looking at replacing my Garmin 176c and Mapsource software. However I've discovered that it is hard to replace apparently. I like the ease of use of this particular unit. Also the large memory capacity is awesome (an issue I have with my 176c). One thing I like about this less fiddling with...

So I've been listening to your podcast. Your content is great. The people you talk to are wonderful. My only issue is the sound quality. Many of your guests are soft spoken, which is fine. However the volume of voices are different, so one minute someone is talking, and they are pretty much...

I'd like to make a suggestion: rent an RV from cruise America and take it on a trip. See what you like about it, what you don't like about it, etc. Also it'll be a fun family vacation either way. Also along those lines, there are tons of overland-style rigs available for rent in Cali. Start...

I think we are all forgetting about the dude who took a brand new RRS, did the whatever body lift, and fitted 35s. So yeah, body lift a D5, fit 35s, go be awesome. That actually sounds like a lot of fun.

Depends. For me, living on the east coast, I can pretty much get cell service everywhere. So 99% of the time I'm in a vehicle, I have cell service. I've kinda standardized on Pandora, so when driving, that is what I'm listening to. HD radio is pretty good if you can find a few stations you...

I'm not familiar but will download what you've got. I'll be in the car a bunch in the next week or so.
