    Pilots on the Board

    I did Prescott once, fun flight in and out, pretty too. You can borrow the crew van and grab a meal at the diner right in the corner of the airport. 👍👍

    AV questions hdmi to xlr?

    A lot of the new laptops do not have a 3.5mm out. If @RiverDave has one then a cleanbox would be all he would need to properly convert to a balanced signal.

    It takes a little more work, but I am 6’7” and it works OK. Well worth it in my opinion for the additional cage support, especially for the guys that do a chopped shorter cage as that really makes the front A pillar laid back. Almost 25 gallons of fuel.

    Starlink on chase and one of the cars. We've got two cars with passengers. 5x 2 seat and 1x 4 seat Pro R. All the 2 seat cars were built by Conery. Our cars we did cages (with extra A Pillar), nets, skid plates, rock protection, aux tanks, bed boxes, toe links, ball joints, patrticle...

    Five tires were takeoffs to prep for this ride, the others are probably all gonna be used as soon as we get back anyways as I’m sure the tires will be ready. 🤣

    Yeah we’ve got two guys driving and they are being paid. One from my cousin‘s race team and the other is one of their company truck drivers. They’re the MVPs for sure :D

    Yeah we usually do 2x 500-800 mile trips a year. This one started as an 800 mile and we decided to just extend it a little. As you noted this one definitely has additional logistics outside just the trails. Just for the basics: 2 oil changes, fresh tires on all cars, 6 mounted spares on the...

    We usually just do our small group, but I'll publish the files that we used and people can put on their own group. I know Josh @ GoVenture had expressed some interest in putting something on but it would most likely be a much longer trip.

    We'll be making it to hotels each night, hopefully :p We're going North to South as well. Seemed the most logical for our group and the areas we were most comfortable with. Absolutely. Everyone needed the same cars for the ride to make sense to us. We've got a full set of suspension (A...

    Yes, for ID it’s mostly BDR and yep we are skipping Lolo/Darby for time and asphalt reasons. Magruder corridor was also closed up until yesterday for a fire. We’re having to skip Pine and Burgdorf and instead run farther to the west closer to the highway because of the Nellie and Bulldog fires...

    I already told the guys to watch out for a tall guy in a CHP car and if we do get stopped to throw out RDP stickers as a distraction 🤣 Absolutely. We’ll definitely let everyone know what did/didn’t work

    We aren’t crossing either border. Especially in Canada that brings a bunch of other variables into play

    Thanks! Definitely going to try and post up pictures. We’ve tasked one of the passengers with being the photographer :D Trying to run a Camera for most of the ride too. Between the trailers and trucks we are pretty well set up. Spare parts, generators, welders and (hopefully) all the tools we...

    Yeah, I linked to the products you’ll need in my first post. One to go from HDMI to analog. Another to get it to XLR.

    AV questions hdmi to xlr?

    XLR is a balanced audio connection, it uses 3 wires, is at a higher nominal voltage and is what all pro audio uses. Typically balanced audio is either XLR or a 1/4” jacks for audio connections. Residential and car (unbalanced) audio you are used to only uses two wires, runs at a lower voltage...

    AV questions hdmi to xlr?

    I doubt anyone makes an HDMI audio extractor with a balanced output. You’ll probably need to get one with stereo analog outputs and then run it through and unbalanced to balanced converter. Tons of audio extractors on Amazon. The ART CleanBox Pro works good at converting to balanced...

    Getting the container of all my shop stuff and tools dropped at the new home build site. Only knocked over a jack stand and a water jug 😁
