You're kidding, right?

Ham radios are definitely getting much more common with wheelers here in Vancouver. In our Land Cruiser club there are about 10 hams now, and we're still trying to get more guys to make the jump. Once you try a REAL radio on a wheeling trip you'll want to set your cb on fire and convince all...

Love your trailer. There are a couple of us here that are planning on "borrowing" pretty liberally from your fender design... :elkgrin: Really nice work.

I'll put the Chameleon antenna on a tripod throw up in the back yard and see if I can hear you...

I haven't used it yet. Actually, I haven't even set it up yet. It's big though - it's packed size insures it'll only come along when I'm towing my little military trailer, it'd eat up way too much space in my BJ74. Definitely a base camp only item, it'd be too much hassle to set up/break down...

Wow, I picked up one for $75 that had been used a couple of times, I thought I had done pretty well! Where do you see the clearance price? I have a bud that might want his own.

I would jump at the HJ61. The 12H-T 6 cyl turbo diesel is a really nice motor. It has enough power to get out of it's own way :elkgrin: Lots of space in the wagon, and at least some of the JDMs we got here in Canada came with factory cable lockers, full floaters, and air conditioning! The 61...

That's very cool!

A good break in. :sombrero: Seriously, until the big influx of JDM Cruisers here, 160,000 miles (260,000 kms) would have been considered relatively "low miles". My BJ70 has 370,000 kms (230,000) and I would drive it across the country tomorrow (ok, maybe day after tomorrow - probably be good...

Hey Gary, the 857 has a voltage readout on the faceplate, would that be sufficient?

Bestbuy's website says "coming soon", REI's says both colours "out of stock but can be backordered"... fwiw, gpscity.ca here in canada is accepting pre-orders, they're estimated to be in stock by Oct 31st.

Quite a bit of info on the upcoming Spot "2" here: http://www.equipped.org/blog/?p=113 I'm waiting on the new model before taking the plunge.

hwy 20 - a huge amount of fun on 2 wheels! :bike_rider:

Or if you already have the base/whip you can just buy the spring and cut the length of the spring off the whip. I have the NMO 2/70 with springs on my 70 and my 74 and no trouble with brush etc.

Congrats - the Larsen NMO 2/70 is an excellent dual bander...

Even BC4x4 has an expedition section now: http://bb.bc4x4.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=30&f=63

If he'll do it I'm in for one or 2 for sure... preferably a 74 (and 13B-T shirt would be cool too...) :sombrero:

It's so disappointing to see the direction Filson is taking. At least so far the old style Field Bag is available as well as that thing with the fastex buckles: http://www.filson.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2092394&cp=2065001.2075128 To the OP (I see this is a pretty old thread...), the...

Yes, doing the math I come up with only 33.06"... same as a 255/85R16.... unless I've missed something.

What tires? There's not a lot of choices in the 34x10.5 size, which is too bad...
