    Abandoned/derelict sites

    Seems lots of airports had racetracks nearby, or become racetracks For about 20 years I took part in a time trials held every year on the abandoned airport at Manzanar in the Owens valley. Not sure if it still happens, but the surface was getting pretty bad. Whenever I pass by I always stop and...

    MXT115

    I'm using the MXT115 in 3 of our vehicles and am happy with my choice. I'm in a hi desert valley so we get very good coms. We can regularly talk over 10 miles and can talk across the valley simplex for over 30 miles. As you know antenna is key. I think for what you say you're looking for you...

    92 Isuzu Trooper money hole

    Nice find, I had a Trooper for a while and loved it. I went with a set of Rodeo wheels and BFG's Did great off road and would hold a ton of gear. Troopers are underrated and overlooked.

    BuhBye older Delicas…you can’t register them any more in Maine (is this the start of scary and problematic new trend?)

    CA has been working to get ALL older vehicles off the road for years with the buy back and cash for clunker programs. The 25 year rule is also, for the most part a no go in CA because there are other laws that make it next to or totally impossible to get an imported vehicle titled and...

    BuhBye older Delicas…you can’t register them any more in Maine (is this the start of scary and problematic new trend?)

    This could get ugly...and I'm sure there will be lawsuits filed. I would expect something like this from CA. Some years ago the powers that be went after the hot rod/ kit car industries for improper titles and failure to meet emission laws. going so far as to chain the doors of some shops...

    Arizona is on FIRE!

    I hope everyone on here stays safe, and I can relate... With a lifetime living in SoCal, I personally know 5 families that have lost homes in various wild fires over the years. I moved from a place that wildfire burned 6 months later and it was in town. sad and scary stuff.

    Best location for CB 102" whip antenna on 4x4 pickup with cap?

    I would mount the antenna centered on top of the topper, with a clip to secure the tip if you're set on running the 102in whip. The topper will be a good ground plane, and this will give the best pattern. Another option would be centered on the front of the topper above the cab of the truck...
