    HAM / Alaska / 2M & HF?

    A completely NOOB question. I am wondering how useful a 2M only setup would be for my upcoming trip to Alaska. I need to use my time carefully and I wanted to make sure that going to the trouble of installing a 2M only rig would be worth it. Thanks in advance.

    3 sockets, same location, how many wires.

    Thanks for all the advice. In the end I kept to my initial plan and ran 4 pairs of 10AWG wire from the rear drivers side through the firewall into the engine compartment. It was a complete PIA but it is done. It feels like major overkill. Now on to the Aux. battery and fuse box install.

    3 sockets, same location, how many wires.

    Thanks. That was my sense, but I read somewhere that for a socket you could run a live wire and then ground the socket locally to the body of the vehicle.

    3 sockets, same location, how many wires.

    I am going to put three sockets in the back of a 4runner. I am using 10 gauge cable and running these cables to a Blue Sea Fuse block in the engine compartment. Space is tight so I don't want to run 2 wires for each if I don't have to. Is it possible to run the live wires for each socket so...

    5th Gen 4Runner / Dual Battery / Bits and pieces.

    I am considering going with the Luna Dual Battery setup and adding a separate fuse box for fridge and radios, etc. First hurdle out of the gate is a mounting plate for the aux battery and fuse box. This is for a 2014 4Runner TE. Can anybody pint me to a source for good quality battery holder or...

    Thank-you for all the responses. I think I now have a sense for what my path forward will be. I'm currently working out my daily driver and will then focus on getting something for the trips. Thank-you again.

    LR2's

    Reliability. I had issues recently getting up a moderate trail near shasta. It wasn't fire road quality, but it wasn't really anything the pro 4x should have had trouble with. 22k miles and i am on my 3rd clutch. Nissan are scratching their heads. I'm kinda not feeling it any more for that...

    Thanks for all the replies so far. I really dont want to get stuck. I own an outback too and i passed that on because it made me nervous. The stock nissan was a little odd here and there on some of the roads i hit. I could habe done better changing the tires etc. but i am not committed to the...

    LR2's

    Hi! I am done lurking and now need advice. Is the absence of LR2 build threads, and LR2 after market stuff a sign that the LR2 is really not very capable off-road? Or just that people believe the LR2 is just too small? There is not much LR2 coverage here, that I can find. I can't work if people...
