Glad you finally got your Ranger! Now it just needs a fresh coat of dirt ?

The red and black looks sweet! That's a nice looking ranger man ?

Would have gone for a GFC or similar style wedge camper, but I got the ARE MX gently used off CL for 1/3 the current price so I couldn't pass it up.

I ended up getting a XL with 4x4 so I could beat the snot out of my ranger and not feel super bummed about the pin strips on the sides. I use a ARE MX mid height topper paired with a Decked drawer system for incognito camping ( tall enough I can sit up inside it). Longer term I'm looking at...

Have fun! Post some pics if you go :)

Hey All, I chatted with HB Ranger and that particular meet is in Las Vegas (unfortunately, I didn't grab the details from him for a specific date). I'm proposing a meet up by the end of August locally? I'm looking at two shops that would be interested in hosting the meet up at their parking...

Can you post the IG handle so we can coordinate with the organizer?

PM me I can give you some trail recommendations based on what you're looking for

No interference at all with the Softopper folding operation. However, if you intend to use the Softopper folded, I would highly advise purchasing the tie down rails when you buy the decked system. Once the Decked is installed, you'll have only 5 or 6 inches of bed space left. If you buy it after...

I've been using a Jackery Explorer 240 for about a year now(obviously too little for a fridge application). IMHO, Jackery has better specs than GoalZero (more expensive for Inferior specs). The main value of Jackery is how simple the system connects with it's solar panels, allowing for a...

That's a rad build! How did you wire up the fridge in the rear seat? That's a pretty nifty piece of kit.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! The gear was replaced, the downer was being unable to camp or go off-road for a few weeks while I waited on replacement gear. This weekend will be some good pics while I start my first shift as a fire tower lookout for the season :)

Did some minor tweaks on the bed topper in advance of our first SoCal camping trip with it: Installed a "KLYMIT Everglow Light Tube" ($25 Amazon) onto the rear glass of the topper to act as a tailgate cooking light. The large version that I purchased has built in magnets that attach quite...

So it's been a few months since I've posted any major updates; about mid April I had a large amount of my gear stolen out of the back of my truck. I made the extremely poor decision to leave my Pelican case with roughly $1K worth of camping kitchen and misc gear strapped to the back of my Deck'd...

@kaylawiz was a huge inspiration for this combo :) Finally found a used ARE MX topper, still need to wire up the 3rd brake light, but this is a huge insulation upgrade from the Soft-Topper I was using for the last year. Did some minor livability mods: 1. Side window insulation (Reflectix...

Did a camping trip recently in the San Bernardino Nat'l Forest to decompress from work.

Yep! Love that thing!

Switched out the Baofeng mount for a variant that allows extended battery packs to be used. Also added BNC connectors to allow for quick disconnecting when using as a HT with the Nagoya 771 antenna.

YES!!! I LOVE HIS CHANNEL, Pure gold man!

As a semi-new HAM (obtained tech license back in '17). It's absolutely nuts how elitist & rude a fraction of the HAM community are. It's a shame that such a small vocal minority of a hobby group can be such trolls for newcomers. **Will add pics of my current mobile UV-5R system this evening...
