    New GM Hd?

    I dig it. Interested to see it in another color as the accents and the body color together seems a little weird. When the kids get a little bigger, will need a 4 Dr truck of sorts. Not clear if it will be half ton or bigger. I like the 8ft for chores and effortless packing. But don't really...

    2018 JL prices

    They had a JL on display at the San Jose autoshow. Sadly you couldn't get in it only view from a distance. Should sell like hot cakes, as you would expected seemed like a new TJ/JK.

    Sonim phones? (comms and nav content)

    I would confirm tethering would work on ATT. Those evil jerks do all sorts of nasty crap if you don't buy the phone from them. Like Wifi Calling or tethering not working. Given that the Sonmin phones are custom and not Android or iOS, maybe ATT can't block much.

    Seeking Advice: How to Map Repeaters for a Trip?

    I'm far from an expert but rfinder.net seemed to be the best way to find repeaters in the area and what the potential coverage may be. They also have Android and iOS apps. Also googling the repeater callsign and finding the club website they will often times describe what kind of coverage you...

    Wrangler pickup will be JT

    Yes can confirm Grand Cherokee with 3.0L Diesel has DEF. Great overall package tons of torque and matched with 8sp the thing feels like a rocket at full throttle. I'm sure at least a 5k tow rating would be likely. 2k payload not so sure. That would be 1/2 or 3/4 ton territory. I doubt Jeep is...

    Prepare for longer delays when flying

    Is that new? Maybe the camera part is new? I feel like its been for years now you have had to take your laptop or tablet out and put in a tray. May be the single layer part is new? I always do that though.

    Is Mountain Biking the Biggest Threat to New Wilderness Designations?

    I don't think it is the mode of transportation. What happened is you found a passionate user group, they come in all varieties. I've seen and met both good and bad mountain bike groups. Disagree we don't need more people out in the wilderness. We don't need to more people thinking every blade...

    Is Mountain Biking the Biggest Threat to New Wilderness Designations?

    Agree that it is never one-size fits all. I just wish the alphabet groups in charge would more often take that approach. I just hate hearing about 'new wilderness' because, in my mind that means for a weekend warrior with a handful of long weekends a year it probably makes getting out there and...

    Is Mountain Biking the Biggest Threat to New Wilderness Designations?

    Very compelling argument. That is what I have observed in California. Small amount of roads through an area, it must be closed to protect the "wilderness", what that even means anymore.

    ArkPak vs a Noco unit

    The jump packs are targeted at getting your vehicle started to get your vehicle charging system recharging the battery. They are not a replacement for a deep cycle battery. They do not have enough capacity to be a replacement, think bathroom sink vs bath tub.

    What happened to the JL/JLT thread?

    Yikes, maybe you should put a disclaimer, that you delete threads you have lost interest in when you start them. Old dog new tricks and all..but maybe realize life exists beyond yourself.

    Is Mountain Biking the Biggest Threat to New Wilderness Designations?

    It is so ridiculous they that can just invent new wilderness. Next up is beach front in Kansas. All the real wilderness has been protect, finding new ones is laughable. All these new proposed wilderness or study areas is just restricting access.

    Proposed 1k fine for vehicles over 20 years old in Oregon

    Wow, bold. Maybe Oregon really has been overrun by ex-California's. But they really migrated from else where to California. So I guess miserable people flock together.

    Offroad & Overland Amateur Radio Net - Bay Area + IRLP

    Very cool I had not seen the PathRf.com tool. It shows clear line of sight from my location. I was standing in my kitchen next to the window facing Sunol. I also stepped out on the deck in the rain didn't seem to improve much. I have just your basic stock antenna on my VX-6 HT. So no surprise...
