I haven't done a full comparison between the UV-B5 and the TERA TR-590 but some quick things I think I noticed about the TERA were: - Part 90 compliant (I have stepped away from ski patrolling for now, but may go back and will need a Part 90 radio when I do) - Has 3 Tx power levels vs. 2 on the...

Does anyone have any experience with this radio? https://powerwerx.com/tera-tr590-handheld-commercial-radio There are not many reviews on the internet about it. I'm considering get rid of a Baofeng (with keypad but not Part 90 compliant) and a Wouxun (Part 90 compliant but no keypad) and...

I'm trying to arrive at a backpack solution that will cover 4 major uses: skiing - including resort/inbounds downhill, cross country, and occasionally backcountry alpine touring day trips with the family for pretty much anything (hike, picnic, etc.) everyday carry (EDC) - my main bag for...

I think most here would agree that the factory bumper is the product of recycled soup cans, and about as thick. I would not attempt to lift by the bumper.

My bad. I did a search but that thread was buried in the 2nd page of results and didn't see it...

Wrist watches for the adventure-minded? What type/brand/model of watch does everyone wear on their adventures and/or everyday? I'm in the market for something new... I started my adult life with a Timex IronMan IdiGlo digital watch that I still have and still works, but the face is small and...

My nearly 4 year old Galaxy S3 is becoming buggy and unreliable so I'm starting to think about my near-future phone solution. For more than a year I've been threatening to go back to a dumbphone; cheaper, less to go wrong, less to maintain/manage better battery life, many times better antenna...

I'm hoping someone hear can help clarify my understanding of 3G/4G LTE networks and how this would work with a phone and a tablet running navigation. In another post, I discussed that I'm looking for a new phone and I'm considering switching to AT&T. They have good coverage in the places I go...

He said they were his calculations based on manual calculations at fill-ups.

Assuming flat highway, no tailwind, truck is empty except for driver, modest A/T tires (eg. Cooper Discoverer AT), and cruise set at 60-65MPH, what kind of fuel mileage is everyone seeing? I have a friend with a 2005 Dodge 2500, Cummins diesel, crew cab, manual tranny, who gets 24MPG if he is...

I haven't spent much time in the rear seat of the newer full size trucks and wanted to hear opinions on the comfort of the rear seat of a crew cab truck (specifically Dodge 1500, but input on other makes are welcome). I've read that the rear seats of midsize crew cab trucks are pretty awful...

The wife and I are beginning to talk about our 1-2 year vehicle plan that will be best for our family and I think we are leaning heavily toward eliminating 2 of our 3 vehicles (my VW Passat wagon and the van), and replacing those 2 with an efficient, full-size, crew cab, 4x4 truck. I'm looking...

And having owned such a vehicle doesn't necessarily make one educated in what its depreciated value may be in 2017. :coffee: For a 30 year old vehicle, a comparative market assessment is about as close as you're going to get to its financial value and if it is a "good deal". Based on what I...

Seems like too much to me for a 30 year vehicle. This really is not a sought after or collectable vehicle to command a high price; it is not a restored VW Westfalia, or a Jeep CJ-8 in good condition, etc. With only 52,000 miles, that means it has been sitting A LOT during its life; as...

My muffin fans are some of the larger ones you can buy with 3 speeds. I've been impressed with the amount of air they move with such little noise: Antec Big Boy 200 http://store.antec.com/enclosure-fans/big-boy-200.html# Link with more useful specs -...

(err...title should read "ice box air conditioner".) The family is making a trip next month to visit some friends and family in New England. My wife and son are flying out and I will be driving out in the van about a week later. Then we will drive back together over 2 days with the idea that...

I thought I had seen removable fighting butts before, then started digging. Pacific Bay rod components make fighting butts, as well as the bare components for someone to create their own fighting butt. They make a post that is 5" long so that would work with a 6" spinning rod cork handle...

After a bit of thought and a weekend away to my family's cabin, I may change my approach a little. Over 4th of July, the wife, 2 y/o son, and I met my parents up north at their cabin on a lake. This was the first time I had ever tried to take fishing gear with us and my "eye's were opened". I...

I'm not certain where my buddy has fished but it was somewhere that the Colorado Trail crossed, along with a road that they used to access the river.

Thank you all for the feedback. I got through most of my repair but I'm not done yet... I replaced everything on the rear end: - calipers and carriers (one may have been OK; the other was shot) - pads (one was completely missing from one of the calipers) - dust shields (barely anything was...
