    Anyone Daily Drive Their Truck?

    I daily drive mine - but I work from home so no commute to deal with and it's only a 1/2 ton Avalanche.

    Passed My Technician License Exam

    I prepped like heck using QRZ and the full question pool - that was a solid two weeks a few hours everyday. For all of the formulas and schematics - I actually studied those and learned the theory so I could do the math using paper and pencil (simple formulas). That actually helped me on the...

    Why is Howling Moon So Bad at Business?

    That would have been awesome - but a week off the mark - my Eezi-Awn just arrived today. Thanks though.

    Passed My Technician License Exam

    I did two things. 1) I went on line (forget which site) and printed out the entire question pool with the answer choices and again with only the correct answer (to use as an answer key). I went through these 5 or so times, before I found QRZ.com. 2) QRZ.com - create an account - free, then you...

    Free Tent, Kodiak Canvas 10X10

    Well - anyone who wants to get rid of some gear - my daughter who is now 20 - just reconnected with me (her mother - my ex - did a number by convincing her I didn't want her - unbelievable as she was literally my shadow). But, long story short - she refused to see me or speak to me for 7 years...

    Passed My Technician License Exam

    Thanks. When I power up this radio - the first thing it does is ask for the call sign to be input before proceeding. So, I just turned it off. What you mention is how I thought it worked, but then the guys administering the exam yesterday, said "You should get your call sign in 7-10 days - then...

    SAR Work with a Felony

    Not to be Debbie Downer here, but something for you to keep in mind - since you mentioned expungement after a certain period of time. That may be true for most jobs and on the application they will ask you something like, "Have you been convicted of a felony in the last 5 years?". Whereas when...

    How do you store food while overlanding in bear country?

    You're from Los Angeles - I'm in Riverside - all of the mountains around us are loaded with black bears. You don't have to go far to meet up with them and you are well within reach of the lowlifes who will take the opportunity to upgrade their cooler by snatching yours. We have never had a...

    How do you store food while overlanding in bear country?

    I'm adding a RTT and a fridge at the moment and this thread (and another similar one) have me wondering the best way to deal with this. I think I'll be OK as I have a Chevy Avalanche - with the hard locking bed caps. Fridge and all food will be kept inside of the covered and locked bed (like a...

    How do you store food while overlanding in bear country?

    If you leave a Yeti outside of your vehicle while away - there is a better than fair chance it won't be there when you return.

    ARB cords and fridge mods

    Nice mods. I just purchased an ARB 63 fridge - it's still in the box, but I'm wondering if ARB has incorporated any of these improvements (particularly the air-block and the under-shelf insulation) in their more current fridges.

    Need Some Quick Input

    Ah - hadn't thought about those front receivers being for flat towing - that makes sense. I did some checking on that quarter panel rust and in order to completely stop that rust, it would require grinding it to find where it ends, and then repainting the entire quarter panel. This is my...

    I think I am doing this wrong

    Part of being a new parent is the urge to bring way too much stuff. Once you get past that it will get easier.
