    Weather reports with Garmin Tread Overland and Sirius XM Travel Link

    I will update this and state that the new Tread Overland 2 Series no longer has the InReach built-in. Personally I like it a bit better that way, but I will hold off on buying it since I still have my Tread Overland. Because the Tread 2 Series does not have built-in InReach you can pair a Garmin...

    ARB Brushless Compressors

    Not entirely helpful since you don't have the experience with the Brushless. Also I should mention that my current ARB Compressor is Brushed and has yet to have a problem. It's just a feeling of knowing an upgrade is due.

    ARB Brushless Compressors

    So I am restarting this thread since those who responded before clearly did not understand the topic at hand. I currently have a Classic ARB Compressor from the portable case that I bought 4 years ago. Overall it has been a good compressor, But it has come down to a time where I need to replace...

    Helpful tip for Engine Cooling

    This is going to be a helpful tip for anyone that has a standard type radiator cap on their vehicle. I don't care what manufacturer you have as it should apply as long as the cap isn't a weird plastic one like what GM and Ford use. Now this is something that I got to learn a while back when...

    GMRS recommendations

    Personally I would go with Midland. They have both the MXT500 and MXT575 that are the most powerful a GMRS Radio can be(50 watts). Personally I have the MXT575 so I can hide the main unit and have the display and controls on the handset. With the 3DB antenna you get a good range and excellent...

    2000 Frontier (Supercharged) Build and Adventures - Babe the Blue Ox

    An interesting journey to say the least. I will state that even though it is a knockoff, that locker will come in handy in many places. I have been to a fair amount of places without a locker, but a locker would have made it much easier.

    2012 D40 Frontier Tourer build

    You must have seen me around lately. I'm the only one with a D40 like this in the area at least that I'm aware of. But I can say the vehicle has changed again. Another update at a later time

    Dobinsons Suspension

    Well after driving around and playing with the settings, I was able to tune out the issue with the good old Concrete Road Bucking that was going on! What worked for me on that so far is having the rebound at the Comfort Setting up front and the Constant Load in the rear! Of course this may be...

    Dobinsons Suspension

    So I have an update. I now officially have the MRR Shocks and Struts on my truck. I got the rears installed last weekend and I just installed the fronts today after getting home from work. Of course this meant a mandatory Pizza Run! Around my house I do have a few dirt roads that are usually...

    Dobinsons Suspension

    Part of it. Don't forget parts of I225 and 285 headed west from Denver area. I have had some bad spots on I70 as well. Not fun at all.

    Dobinsons Suspension

    I will confirm that Exit OffRoad is separate from Dobinsons, but I can also state that I made the choice on MRR Shocks and Struts. Just got the Shocks today and I should have the Struts next week.

    Starlink or Garmin in reach

    That's great and all if you have the Starlink and Phone with you at all times(and I bet you don't). Not sure why you are trying to replace everything with Starlink. For the price it goes for you can use it for other things at a better price. Also as mentioned before, if you are going off the...

    Question for the Garmin Tread users

    Something I noticed on my Tread Overland last year around November was the addon of the Optional Premium Maps with Outdoor Maps+ from Garmin. Im curious if any Tread Users(or other Garmin Users) have bothered to use it and what features were added that were not there before? For those that...

    Garmin Tread Overland Edition - any users yet?

    I am with you on this one. Too many individuals out there want to try and rely on Gaia or onX through a phone or tablet and isn't exactly designed like the Garmin tread series. I honestly can't understand why people want to go away from a traditional GPS when it's still tried and true...

    Starlink or Garmin in reach

    You are aware that he isn't the only one that does recovery right? Depending on where you are, there most likely will be a local 4WD club that is able to help(and most likely it will still cost you). In reality it all depends on the situation

    Dobinsons Suspension

    So I'm in need of a little assistance. I have a 2012 Nissan Frontier currently equipped with Dobinsons GS Twin Tubes front and back with the Heavy Coils up front and the Super Heavy Leafs in the back. In general the suspension is good, but I do have a problem that I'm hoping I can resolve simply...

    Starlink or Garmin in reach

    depending on the device you get will depend on the initial price of the unit when it comes to the InReach. I know that my Garmin InReach MINI cost me $200 when I got it. That is lower than the Starlink MINI with the sale. Now if you compare my Garmin Tread Overland, the. It is a different story...

    Starlink or Garmin in reach

    I'm with you on this one. So give me wrong, I have my GPS for navigation purposes and some books with different trail information beyond that I don't really carry anything that should try and connect me to anyone with the exception of the InReach or the GMRS if I'm in range of another

    Starlink or Garmin in reach

    It's is available through different states and it is state by state specific. You might even be able to go through the State Forest Service to get the SAR insurance for a year. In Colorado it's only $30 for a year and I confirmed it with a guy I head to the trails with

    Starlink or Garmin in reach

    When one is off grid, one would try to stay away from the normal world that Starlink would provide. Also Garmin InReach has more than one use. Yes you have the SOS. Yes you have the two way messaging as needed. Yeas you do have weather updates as needed. Depending on the device you might even...
