    2- way radios

    I take my 923A2 on road trips from time to time, out of my small town. Question: what radios do you travel with? CB? GMRS? In a pickup truck, I have experience with 10 miles on GMRS and 5 ish with CB. With a shitty 2 meter antenna. I'm pretty sure I could go 15 or 20 miles on a good. Gmrs.radio

    Cold WX operation A2 Truck Fuel Question

    Don't flame me with the usual "did you search" because I did. Context: Previous SO is a bus driver and her organization consistently had buses freeze up while in operation last winter. As in, a bus full of kids stalls out and quits on the road. Think -40F. It was 11 degrees here in Middle...

    Slave Connector Battery Charger

    M923A2 Recovery from Great Falls, Montana. My first MV

    So I've been scanning the forum a lot lately and have read extensively the what-to-watch-for and recovery threads. I'm amazed with the stories from the guys who bought vehicles 1000 miles away and bought them (won, I guess) from GL virtually sight unseen. This is not one of them. I recovered...
