I recently set about the same guidelines for a new CB. Here's what I bought just a few weeks ago: I searched the web for "best cb" and some other similar searches. Uniden kept popping up as a good manufacturer, and model PC78LTW was common. I then found the http://www.unidendirect.com/...

Hello, Here's a good series of desert expeditions and much tire info is included. Look at the series of trips into the Altar Desert, at http://www.billcaid.com/. Several of these guys have U-1300L's with various winches. They use those winches a lot, too. Many U-1300's don't have PTO's or...

The info on the Unimog was not posted by the owner, I think. The owner might not see your query on this list. Maybe contact him using the information contained in the sale listing above, Ebay 220331772667 ? good luck.

I also really enjoyed the pictures! My wife and I made the round trip from Tennessee to Fairbanks, Anchorage, and other parts of AK in June, July and Aug 2008. We covered 11,000 miles and had a wonderful time. There's so much difference in the country after the snow starts! We got our...

One option I have used is to buy one of those canvas "bucket organizers" at the big box store, cut it up, and screw the desired sections to the inside door. Sure is handy. I also screwed one to the wrap-around surface of the engine cover in a Ford E-350. Bob

Hi, Do you happen to know what model he has? Any pictures? Welcome to the Unimog disease. You will never get over it. Bob

I should have said I also have Hustler resonators for all the HF bands, including 80m. I do have to stop to change bands, but no problem, I'm on 20 all the time anyway. While mobile these days, every band above 20m is dead anyway, LOL. And of course there's little activity on 80m and 40m...

Hi Nevits, (where in GA?) I agree that the non-licensed (or no test required license) services are just as good for comms as ham radio, and easier to use for untrained people. Problem is, IMHO, there are so many different types of non-ham comm (CB, FRS, GMRS, MURS, etc) that getting everyone...

Great thread! One possible mistake is expecting 2m to provide emergency communication during anywhere/anytime "back country" offroading. There's no guarantee there will be coverage on 2 meters (a line of sight mode for all practical purposes). Sure you can talk to your trail buddies, but...

Think of the truck as being a pair of longhandle undies hanging on one of those clothes lines that has pulleys on each end (the sheaves). It'd be like the longhandles walking back and forth. Ok, dumb analogy, but once the cable is tightened, the winch does not do the moving, the truck wheels...

That referral (above) to a Unimog with a center mounted winch, fed front and rear, was probably mine, a 1957 Unimog 404. I built this bed about 10 years ago and it has served well, as you can tell from the more recent 'well worn' pictures. The winch has to be mounted at just the right angle so...

I use an LST-178 Lubrication and Service trailer :-) picture attached, I think... Bob

Gosh, gee, thanks Mike! Now I'll have to be really careful what I post to try to meet your standards :-) I should have come over here earlier, but just discovered this site. Don't know how I missed it all these years. I have really enjoyed going through all the pictures I could find here...

Hi, Did you post a URL or a picture? I am asking because I don't see one and an Ebay search didn't find the truck. I quite often do not see attachments on this forum (to which I am new). What could I be doing wrong? Does that happen to others too? Thanks, Bob

After making that comment about "Hummer killer", and "goes anywhere", applied to this truck (!) not sure what else I'd believe in the advert LOL. That chassis sure could make a nice camper, but would be a big job! Bob
