    Just was wondering time wise! I know it's small stuff so I doubt they'll need to put it on a pallet or something lol.

    Not necessarily something too stock and carry, but I wouldnt mind getting my hands on a N2 setup. An Arb is the way to go if you have lockers but I want something to charge shocks and then air up tires in a pinch.

    I'm building my own N2 setup this week as well Kyle, finally found a moderately priced regulator on Amazon that wen up to 1000 psi delivery like I need. It's something we are looking into, mine will be the guinea pig. And as for radios the guys here all agree that CB just isn't the way to go in AK. In Moab they were sweet because we had so much line of sight but up here the race radios are something we're looking into pretty heavily. I'll have more info on that stuff soon as I'm looking into it myself. perhaps @ffirg could lend his input as well as @Syntonization ?

    Distance, reliability, clarity, not relegated to line of sight, basically they do everything better than CB

    I've never heard of those radios before, but it appears they are still operating on the vhf band of frequencies. Vhf is still very line of sight communication so I don't see how it would be that much better when comparing it with an equally powerful CB. that being said, those appear to all be 50 watts, where a cb is only 4. That's a huge difference. That could lead to better range for sure. That's actually twice the legal power limit the FCC set for marine VHF, but I'm sure the race radios operate on slightly different wave lengths so they can get away with it.

    I'm no expert by any means but the only radios I'm aware of that aren't line of sight would be a single side band radio but they are so expensive.

    Nice find kyle, that regulator wouldn't be big enough for me since it only delivers to 400 pounds
