    Default Another new guy in Wheat Ridge



    Hey all,
    yea another new guy, not new to wheeling lol. Ive got a 2007 toyota 4runner V6 with a few mods. Myself and a few buddies try to get up the hill as much as possible for a little whelling and shooting, Im into wheeling (duh lol) shooting both guns and photography. Im ex-Army Infantry so we take safety pretty serious. We are the types that have a blast no matter the trail, or weather, we have just have fun.
    Heres a qiuck pic of my rig from last year:

    What do you all use for trail communication? CB, HAMs or talk about radios?

    Yes. All the above. There has been some movement toward gmrs. I have ham, cb, handheld frs and handheld gmrs radios. CB has been the most common in the past.

    Roll down the non-existent window and yell...sorry couldn't help the snark - but if we are wheeling responsibly according to our 'keep the following vehicle in the mirror' protocol, communication device isn't necessary, albeit it may be helpful. I've never had any and the group tolerates me - but they probably talk smack about my antiquated communications over the cb that I don't hear.
