THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

I was also thinking of the position overall. On a forward cab a bumper mounted antenna has lots of metal up one side of it. Never did an SWR test on a setup like that so wondering how that would affect it. Funny I was getting the opposite impression with how GMRS is being marketed so much lately to ...

Geez you'd think they could make a light switch that lasted more than 45-50 years!

Should work fine....

Curious what you think Ron (and other Hams) of the ground plane issues/SWR of the bumper mounting. Any Australian guys here that use the bumper mount that's popular there?

Saw these new antennas for "rugged use". That look pretty cool to me and it comes at a good time since I started looking for one recently! https://midlandusa.com/pages/ride-the-range?utm_campaign=Ride-the-Range-Launch-Email&utm_medium=email&utm_source=attentive&externalId=VTURT...

Very nice hardware additions! Looks great

Thanks for the comments!

Yes

Thanks for adding to the knowledge base!

That actually does look great. The portals on that looks better outfitted than they do on the G version. Maybe the only new 4x4 I'd really want, other than a new U5000

I've had another perfect 24v conversion winch candidate come in. This is a Warn XD9000 which is probably their most popular workhorse winch for the last 20 years. This one is likely from the middle/late 90's. It'll get a major overhaul with new Warn 24v motor, 24v contactor, new remote, new Dyneema ...

Nice but this one has a seat belt at least

They are now delivering in the UK/AU and Europe. US prices announced. I'd like one but $73K is way out of my range. I guess its not that bad though, relative to what people pay for 4x4's these days. $100k+ isnt unusual, even Jeep has that $90K Wagoneer and I'd take this over that thing in a second. ...

HMMMM

Fascinating "Customer States" video, full of shame.
