    CB radios and their importance.

    Safety
    Not only for the rig and it's occupants but also rigs around them. Being able to communicate with rigs in front and behind you when an obstacle is clear or if you need assistance OR if they are in a dangerous situation. With large groups, sometimes it's better to break into smaller groups and stagger to ease congestion on obstacles. Radios allow those groups to still wheel "together" and stay in contact. The first and the last rigs converse to maintain a group and not leave anyone behind.

    example: While wheeling in Moab, we broke a group of eight into two groups. Someone in the second group broke a CV. They radioed to the first group, told us the situation and we turned around to assist and also eat an early lunch as a group. Without radios, we would have never know what happened.

    example: There were two of us snow wheeling. I was heading up a hill, lost traction/forward movement and when I applied the brakes I actually started sliding backward. My wheeling partner radioed me to let me know that he was backing up to get out of my way. I radioed back to tell him to do it quickly. I slid backward a couple hundred feet.

    Information
    While on road you can get information about traffic and what is causing it.
    A lot of CBs now will give you weather reports.

    Camaraderie
    Wheeling is also about hanging out with friends. CBs allow you to chat and enjoy the company.

    ***Remember that safety conversations take precedent over camaraderie!***
    Also respect others with regards to language, it is illegal to use fowl/obscene language on CBs.

    Two of the main problems CBs have issues.

    Bad grounds. Radio and antennas. Even though the radio is grounded, in theory, thru the ground power wire, I run another ground wire from the CB chassis to the truck body. Also make sure there is a good, non-painted/non-corroded mounting point for the antenna.

    The other problem is that the extra antenna cable CAN NOT be coiled up. It acts like a choke and your radio will not work. If you have extra cable, stretch it out. And NEVER try to transmit without an antenna, you will burn up your radio.

    I really can't even describe how much I'd like to attend this meet. I'd need at least 2 days of driving to get there and another 2 to get home, so that makes it difficult with work.. don't want to burn up all my vacation time less than halfway through the year, but it looks like it would be worth it.

    I also don't think my truck is ready yet. I have 4wd issues and would like to swap in an fj cruiser transfer before driving so far for an off road meet. I also would like to have a rooftop tent and a high clearance rear bumper with tire carrier.

    ... basically I'm trying to convince myself to wait till next year.. but I'm a huge believer in the thought "If you don't do it this year you will be one year older when you do."

    Ive always camped on the ground but I am starting to look into the roof top tent. I like the idea of putting it on a rack over my bed and having all my gear under that. What rtt are you looking at? Anyone have any experience with rtt's that they want to share?
