Unfortunately those are all populated areas well cell phones would work.

It all about traction and control. A limited slip will be far more effective in a suspension that has better articulation than a suspension that has less travel. If you are hanging wheels a locker will be a car better option, except lockers can make maneuvering more difficult, so can having a...

In the video they showed vehicles with different suspension setups, and was apparent that they performed differently. Even thought they overlooked that in this video it is an essential part of this discusion.

I got out of the Army is 2008 at Fort Leonard Wood, I still work there as a civilian.

That's the map I saw. I live south and west of Rolla in the green are with no repeaters. We do much of our camping, fishing, exploring (overlanding) straight south of Rolla in the big empty repeaterless area.

Can it be as simple as you put your radio on channel 22, I put my radio on 22 and we put the repeater on 22?

Evened licensed you can't use so much power you step on others can you?

I found a map online that showed where repeaters were,none where my area. My thoughts on using it for camping. I set up camp I have some sort,of repeater I place between camp and where my kids are can go fishing. Is this realistic? The GMRS license is less than $100 bucks and a couple to...

If I want to go camping in the area where there's no cell phone and I want to have communications with people I'm with what would keep somebody from setting repeaters so they could cover down on the area there camping in. When I was in the army with set up a retrans, is that similar to what a...

My understanding is repeaters are put up by individuals or groups of people, not by the government. People can lock the repeater so those who don't have the right permission or access can't use them correct?

What do you mean use the powed appropriately? If I hunt more powerful rifle my hunting licences isn't more expensive. If I am using the radio what does it matter on the power? I do understand why the need to control what frequencies used but power? It is not like more power will wear out...

Why are some free? Some less expensive but require a test and some more $ but no test. Not sure what you mean by FRS and wild west? I pay for a fishing and hunting license, they go back into the system to fund the activity and that's fine. It just seems odd about the different licenses and a...

I think next time I look at these radios I will start with Midland.

I haven't had a computer in a decade, just tablets and phones. Chirp only works on computers. I had a friend program my radio. This is the downside to the little cheap Chinese radios and the upside to Midlands. For me the real issue is the FCC rules. Why do we have to pay money to have the...

I don't use mine allot but more than I have used my spare (which is never) but I still carry my spare.

I ended up getting a Ozark Trail one but the connectors and pools were to cheaply made and it would two adult size people to set it up. I took it pack and got a Core 9P. I am a fair weather adventure so I didn't need a high end tent. I am getting generator and window AC for it. I will only...

I have a pair of the Cobra equivalent. I am sure these will be 2 watt and the antennas won't come off. We use ours for fishing or kayaking because they are waterproof float and seem to be more durable. They do serve a purpose but nothing I would consider for vehicle use. There are the less...

Dino grease can be hard on some rubber materials. I always use synthetic if there are rubber seal, such as a ball joint, U joints TREs. I grease after ever oil change and more often if I am in a lot of water or mud. I get Lucas red tacky 2, or something like that. On my drive shafts, the part...

I would go with the best warranty and best reserve. I have gotten batteries (not a deep cycle) from each of those stores. I get the one with the best warranty and then biggest CCA and reserve. The batteries I have bought from either place last about 5-7 years. I would think for you needs CCA...

It will also may save you from damaging them in off camber situations.
