    Hey those speed bumps are unreal nowadays and are only getting higher and higher. Before you know it even Pirus will need lift kits :eek:

    I did plenty of off roading in my younger days in the military at the gov't dime. There wasn't a speed bump my humvee couldn't crawl over :D

    I eventually want to install the LCE SC (low boost). Just me personally, I don't want to get all too kray kray on the HP's, but just want that little bit more power. Plus, it is basically a straight bolt on, for the most part. That, along with LCE headers and/or Doug Thorley headers with a cat back system to complete. That's not including tires/wheels, etc!!! :goingcrazy::frusty::annoyed::facepalm:

    Yup the central air deflation system is pretty sweet :thumbsup: The blind spots on them put the FJ to shame. They were a blast to drive but loud AF! Super easy to maintain too unless your a grunt aka infantry driver :thumbsup:

    LOL the humvee were so wide they barely fit on Japanese roads and that's why we had a "A" driver who sits shotgun to watch our blind spots.

    The Japanese did have a version like the humvee and it is built by Toyota. Pretty sweet too and probably more reliable then our humvees :laugh:

    I rode in one and it was like riding in Kings and our humvees felt like we were riding on spacers and blocks :laugh:

    Well, by far, the most common handheld is the Baofeng UV-5R (about $25, not including tax/shipping) or the UV-5R V2+ (about $35, not including tax/shipping). Finally, get an aftermarket antenna and you WILL thank me later that you did. A decent aftermarket antenna is the Nagoya NA-701/717/771 (NOTE: the 771 is pretty good, but a long antenna inside of a cab can be a bit of a PITA).

    Now you have to think about wattage output? Some people have radio setups outputting 50+ Watts, which is pretty gnarly, but you can cause interference within a group if outputting that much within close proximity, but they also typically have different wattage settings as well. Quite a bit starts to get involved and it all depends on what you want in the end.

    The next time we meet up I can show you a few things as well so that you can learn some things that you can do when out on a trail.
