Here is the situation. I have an opportunity to purchase for a well cared for 1998 Extended Cab Short Bed Chevy Pick (half ton). I know the full history of the truck (its my dad) and he is meticulous about his vehicles. Specs: - 187k miles, 4x4, Z71, 6' bed Extended Cab / 3 door - All...

Agreed....he seems like a pretty normal guy. His videos are aren't overproduced/overdone (filled with slow pans, slow motion shots, and drama.) I'm finding some of the recent Overlanding videos so over the top with sponsors - they have lost appeal/adventure for me.

Ah yeah...Good point - that seems odd...I read your post too fast and missed the freq.

Go Dual Band... There is little reason not to go dual band ...except if you are trying to make the system as economical as possible. You can save $75-150 on a single band vs dual band radio. My wife and I are both HAM operators...we need the dual bands for our various use cases. - We tend...

HAM radio clubs have been providing race support and various charitable functions for years...and this is a sanctioned use of HAM freqs. I don't know all the regs, but many of the rules requiring station IDs every few min, limiting transmission time, yielding the repeater, etc are waived during...

Is this the one where they zoom in on the 400DR and show the 146 simplex freq? They also show APRS frequencies and a few others in various shots...I haven't gone back to look. Edit: Seems like the discussion on Youtube about HAM bus use in their Comms video. https://youtu.be/1qsvC9LD1eA Seems...

True - however, since most of the them live in the US, they have to be FCC licensed...and per some of the comments on Youtube, some of them are not in the FCC HAM database. Canadian rules are nearly a mirror of US rules & regs - especially when it comes to business use. Anecdotally, I have...

The more I think about it, the more I agree - their use is over the top. In previous shows/interviews, Clay states he pays his crew...and he runs a production company.

Just watched the latest videos on Expedition Overland - and saw some comments about HAM radios & business use. They are clearly using HAM, APRS to coordinate operations for business filming use.... I am a licensed HAM - and to be honest, am conflicted about being a hardcore stickler for the...

Any idea if any of the mods would make it fail CA inspection/emissions? via pyramid energy waves.

Make sure you're running heavy weight 140w? gear oil in the rear end...it will keep the temps down. I tow from NorCal to Oregon up the various routes all the time fully loaded and towing heavy...you'll be fine. Just roll slow. Make sure you have a tranny cooler with synth fluids...it matters. I...

Would suggest doing something better with the photos...can you pull the pics together so there is no need to go through your entire feed? via pyramid energy waves.

Mods...lock this dang thread. Lock this crap down... For crap sakes. There is far too much trolling. via pyramid energy waves.

To be honest, I'm not sure it would be any worse than the existing E-Series Vans, pickups, etc (lifted or otherwise). I've read some interesting articles on this subject lately suggesting the tall Fords & Dodge pickups aren't as secure as people think. In college, we'd get vans from the motor...

The Sienna seats sound cool - I dig the foot rest option - giving up a few inches of space for that luxury is somewhat appealing. I intend on having this van a long time... I agree about the 5.4 - it is too small of an engine for a large van with a high roof. (Lack of power is a pet peeve of...

Some add'l info I found out today from those that do business with Quad & Quigley: Quigley 4x4 conversions: - Use a fair amount of 'Quigley parts'. - Customer can get parts, but only at the speed & expense of UPS/FEDEX - Mass produced - which is great. - Quality is usually outstanding -...

Couple of questions - manual or automatic? What PSI do you run on pavement? Curious about your ability to get rougly 1.3x more miles...(I replace them a bit early too). Is your jeep heavy (or loaded down with cargo like mine)? I have a 6sp manual, and run 30-32lbs. (anything softer and find...

Last thing I forgot to mention. I'm running stock Rubicon wheels with custom 1 inch spacers. Tire is just inside the wheel well. I think the 1.5 inch spacer puts the tire too far out. No rubbing even on full stuff. No lift. Will be putting the 2inch mopar lift here shortly but will still run...

Duratrac is the best snow AT Ive ever had/used short of a real snow tire. Crossed the US 5x in the heart of winter...4x along the northern route. Have 285s on my Jeep JKU. Been driving in snow all my life and much of it in Boston area. Torrential downpours are a non issue too. Outstanding mud...

WOw! Thanks man for all the great information. We have the same issue with car seats - my son is 9mo and is ~32" and 27#. We had to find a car seat that he would not grow out of - and fit in our vehicles (my jeep and wife's mini cooper countryman - which has more passenger space than the...
