Awesome X. Is your spare still in the stock location?

I wasn't criticizing these devices, merely pointing out some opinions from someone far knowledgable than me.. I intend to get an InReach shortly, both for the ability to communicate and to pair it with my iPad to provide GPS.

Hello everyone, Linking to a blog post by a local SAR guy that I think might be of interested to this community: I thought it was pretty interesting and highlights some of the edge cases when using these devices.

Tango Zulu, are you mechanically inclined (or a professional)? I'm curious how you're expecting to maintain one of these vehicles after you purchase one. Apologies for a slight tangent, but I'm really curious about owning one of these behemoths.

Would you still consider an X now that it's been discontinued? Considering it never had the same kind of aftermarket support that Jeeps or Toyotas have?

I guess that also has a benefit not being able to hear them inside.

I love the look of these tools, thanks for posting. When I finally get a 4x4, I'll likely get one WyethScotts, to avoid permanently hanging a 100lb on the front of the vehicle. Plus, like I said, I just love these.

Very cool. How is it as a daily driver? Where are the child seat mounts? :P

Thanks for the explanation Maverick1701, that's very cool. Makes sense that once there are no cell towers yous till need to communicate with people. I wish cell phones worked like CBs sometimes :)

Awesome trip, on my list as well. How was a CB useful? Everyone seems to be pretty negative on CBs.

Looks pretty sweet. Obviously capable as an offroad vehicle yet DD-able. How do you like the comet antena? How did you wire it?

Would you need to fuse that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

sdnative, are you using an ipad mini with a built in GPS chip, or an external GPS unit?

Thanks for the video, so well done. I apologize for my ignorance, but Baja California is Mexico, right? Also, I noticed that the vehicle footage is quite well stabilized. Can you share how you did that?

That's beautiful. In your pics it doesn't look like you camped near anyone else. Are the campsites quite far apart? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello friends, Apologies for a slightly clueless title, but that's basically what I am. I've been eyeing unimogs for a few years now but I'm curious about people who own them (or any ex-military vintage vehicle I guess). I'm an IT guy so I have very little experience wrenching on my own...

The solar suitcase comes with "VS1024N" controller which you link to earlier (see http://www.renogy-store.com/Renogy-100W-12V-Mono-Portable-Solar-Suitcase-p/kit-stcs100d.htm). The suitcase setup is $269 whereas the original kit I linked to is $184. As usual buyer beware, but the kit is...

1stDeuce, are you referring to one of the comments on the amazon page: if that's the case it sounds like the controller dropped into the maintenance mode after recharging his tiny battery in half an hour, which is the behavior you suggest. In any case, I appreciate your feedback. I know...

How do the Kyocera panels above compare to the Renogy panels? Amazon has a 100 watt kit for $180 bucks which is significantly cheaper than the link above: http://www.amazon.com/Renogy-100W-Mono-Starter-Kit/dp/B00BFCNFRM/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1424732684&sr=1-1

Fair enough. You gotta pay to play. I used to have a first gen and even stock it wouldn't get more than 400km to the tank. Though with more than 300,000km on the odometer it was still reliable and fun truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
