Overland Communications what’s better CB or Ham Radio? Or do you have both?

Post author By admin
Post date May 24, 2021

In this video I do a quick run down of the radios I have in my 1987 4Runner for Overlanding Communications. I also do a quick once around the 4Runner that has a Solid Axle Swap (SAS). Now that things are starting to get back to normal expect some Overlanding videos with Ham Radio mixed in from my channel!
