Help stock, build the OSTS truck.

Personally.. You should of bought a Jeep for that type of outfitting.

A truck has no business going deep in the backcountry, IFS complications, lack of decent traction (its really a 1x1) unless you get full lockers front/back.
I used to own a couple trucks and also a '10 Range Rover sport (full independent, and probably the only exception).. and I can tell you from experience. I own a '13 Rubicon unlimited now, and it will go ANYWHERE without a question, equally as off road capable as the RR (Elk trip Northern BC '10 river crossings etc) without the $$.
Jeep now has the improved engine (bolt on +100 rear wheel hp for $5k) will give it LS1 power from a V6, solid axles, true 4x4 posi (lockers front/rear)...

The Jeep is an AR on wheels... the options you have for after market stuff is mind boggling. Unless you need the box specifically for carrying a 1000lb load. my argument is invalid.

NEwayz could go on on .. just my 0.02

I really want to get into HAM radio, license,etc. Id love to have this. Any help would be appreciated! I see videos on youtube of guys with their motorola radios!

For CB or similar, what's a good option? I have a couple Motorolas for vehicle to vehicle but what's good for getting in touch with others?

When I was into a lot of rock crawling and off-roading, me and the jeep club I was with used the Cobra 29 LX CB with great success, but it is on the larger side. If you want something smaller the Cobra 25 LX is decent as well.

a mobile(not handheld) ham radio, they can transmit fairly long distance and across country by using repeaters. I heard someone in alberta talking to someone else in arizona a few days ago.

cb might be good if you want to talk to a trucker or something.

Do you need a license for HAM radio?

[Apollyon]
