I have one of these. I wouldn't recommend this exact one because the bevel in the plastic window makes it hard to read the needle but there are lots in this price range that are functionally identical. That said it works fine to make sure that my setup is not way messed up. I wish I had coin for...

Hey Black if you want this it's time to put your money down. I'm going to do so tomorrow if we don't hear from you.

Dude! I said I'd take it, but to give black one last chance so I wasn't taking it from him.

I'll take it if Black drops out.

So that is what my trailer is. I have one just like it but not in near as good a shape. I paid about $200 if I recall. It has had the tongue beefed up with pipe at some point. The fenders are missing and parts of the top rails have been cut out. Despite all that, I love the thing. It pulls great...

As mentioned, I think it would require redoing the inner fenders to some degree to lower the seating position. I think this may not be real hard and there is room. As I think you know the role cage would need to be completely reworked. Also having spend a day in troop seating ones on dirt roads...

A quick search revealed very little talk about HF use or equipment. I'd like to start a conversation primarily on the subject of radios. I don't have any money for an HF radio right now so I am just dreaming here. I'm not going to go right out and buy one but I do hope to buy one in the next...

Thanks for laying it out Randy. I sure do want an all modes all band rig. Maybe I'll start a thread about which one. :drool: I hope I can get my company off the ground and have toy money again in the next year or so. I picked a bad time to finally get off my butt and get my ticket. The last...

This is where I question your argument that one needn't worry too much about optimizing their 2m setup. It seems if you want to cover all ranges you need 2m to fill the gap? Maybe what you're saying is if you have full HF capability you can be sure you can reach someone some where out there...

I feel what you are sayin but I think part of the problem is folks dont even care to try and fix things. I just tore down and rebuild my wife's smart phone to replace the screen after she dropped it a shattered it. It was a bit fiddly but not hard. $40 for the new digitizer felt good on the...

This is an interesting statement and a good point. I hold a General License so that is not an issue but I dont have the funds for much of a radio these days. I make due with the used FM only VHF/UHF I have. I have also only spent precious little time actual on the HF bands using other guys...

I have used Road Post and I was quite pleased with the experience and the product. I dealt with Maz 877-236-4121 ex283. I would call him direct. Their phones come with all the gear you may need including the external antenna for use from inside the vehicle, an extra battery and car changer. I...

I picked up a Zodi Hot Tap Series #6189 a few years ago for about $100. It was for the wife, but I have to say I love the thing. I usually rig up a tarp enclosure next to the jeep at the end of the day and we all take nice long HOT showers including the now 3yo. I remember showering the little...

I just got the SSB-7 (Not NMO) and I have really been enjoying it. I was talking to a guy 200 miles away on it from a ridge top the other day. The higher gain is noticeable both in a good way when you are in the open and in a bad way trying to reach out of a canyon. It is tall and while I have...

Would it work to just disconnect the trucks battery? What Alinco do you have?

I use a CB mount like this drilled out a tiny bit to fit one of these and this antenna. Mine is on my roof rack but I think a similar setup with the bulkhead adapter would work well on your bull bar with the built in tabs. I usta run a CB antenna on my bull bar back in the day with half a mount...

You seem to be being a criptic about what you are doing and that is making hard to understand your needs... at least for me. But from what I understand you have two options. SAT phones are easily deployed and I have rented them for trips into MX. They work great because everyone basically knows...

I like these guys http://store.eurekatent.com/category/365433/Timberline%26%23174%3B_Series They are cheap, hold up to high wind (I like to camp on the beach), keep you dry in a down poor, and are easy to set up and take down. They also have a number of options including two different styles of...

Ham is the clear choice for me. It has saved walking out from a bad stuck in the snow with a no cell coverage situation already after less than one year with a ticket. I used a $60 hand held with a $20 antenna and auto patched through a 2 meter repeater to call my buddy to come help. If it had...

Good looking J truck though.... gota love a rhino
