They can also be much less hassle and cheaper than expected. I bought a Comet fender mount since I didn't trust myself to drill a hole for an NMO mount. The bracket did not end up fitting at all and I started looking into NMO again. I figured it would be cost prohibitive to have a shop do it...

I just purchased a 45 for pretty much the same use case. I haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but from looking it seems to be spot on for the size for me. I think the 20 would be too small for food for the weekend and some drinks. The 45 claims 36 cans, so it looks like you'll need to make...

Stock the engine puts out 420 lb ft. Banks actually uses this as a crate engine and claims to get right around 500 lb ft out of it. That would be a really cool option on the Power Wagon IMO. http://www.trucktrend.com/how-to/expert-advice/1208dp-banks-vm-motori-630t-v6-diesel-engine/

Nice Power Wagon, those are some impressive machines! Originally the shop quoted 1 hour at $70, which was still a steal, but they got in done in 30 minutes. I don't think they dropped the headliner much, if at all. I originally picked up a fender mount since I figured most shops would charge an...

APRS is completely free and maintained by other Ham operators. When tuned to the frequency for APRS (Varies by Region), you will receive any APRS packets that are sent on the frequency. These packets contain the digital information that someone using APRS would send (GPS location, etc). An...

I just finished the install of my Icom 2730A in my Ram. I mounted the radio body underneath the driver seat, with the radio head on a ProClip mount made for the truck. I had a local company install an NMO mount for $35, well worth the money not having to drill the roof myself.

Great information! The Raster definitely looked very similar to the MVUM maps I was looking at, but I wasn't knowledgeable enough of the mappings to know for sure what the differences were. The ideal case does sound like getting a MVUM overlay on the Raster. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I was initially looking for a way to import the MVUM as well, but after playing around with Gaia I was able to find one of the map layer options is "USFS Raster". After looking at this and comparing the layer to the MVUM I think they have already done the hard work for us and imported it and...

Yup, definitely do your research before you buy. I bought middle of 15 so any GMC diesel would have been an early buy, so no one was budging on the price. I ended up a good deal under invoice and took most of their hold back by playing the game with Ram. Get competing quotes and be ready to walk...

I was out the door at 36k, but if you option up you can easily hit that number on a Ram too. From a lot of what I've seen is the low towing numbers is due to the cooling system, or lack thereof. The intercooler and radiator are stacked and not sized appropriately making it difficult for the...

The ZR2 is going to be expensive for obvious reasons. It's really unfortunate though how limited the Diesel is in this platform. You can only get the engine in the Crew Cab configuration and in the higher trim levels. You basically can't get a Canyon/Colorado for under 40k MSRP. I looked at this...

Appreciate the response and the photo. Trying to decide if I go with a remote head radio on my Ram or not. It's a 1500, but a Tradesman trim and the console is extremely similar. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

Nice looking WJ. I used to have an 02 and it was a great vehicle. Good score on the V8 with the Selec-Trac, those are pretty rare! Glad to see you already took care of the blend doors. One thing to keep an eye out on the V8 is to make sure you don't overheat. The heads and the blocks are...

Where do you have the 2900 mounted? Looking for a place in my Ram. Any pics? Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk

Tan 45 just went on sale. Was browsing Facebook and saw the ad for the cooler at $139.99 all in. Saving $35 from the $175 list price isn't a bad deal at all. I was waiting for the same deal myself and just pulled the trigger. They must be having trouble moving the tan color with the sales...
