Nice rig there, @Thumper668 . Thanks for enlightening us about the BFG T/A+. @Gatopescado , very sad what’s happened to your 73 Commando. If I wanted a project vehicle, I’d consider it. Commandos are unique and pretty rare, and they have a lot of character. > [@DavidNRockies](#): > > My brother used to live in Gardnerville. > > … Kingsbury Grade I almost took a job and moved to Gardnerville. There’s a good company out there named Bently Nevada in Minden. Oh, and that Kingsbury Grade is a good cutover over the Sierras in the winters when the passes close. I’ve been over every pass between San Francisco and Bishop between Donner Pass in the north to Tehachapi Pass in the south. My in-laws used to live in Bishop. It’s beautiful country, out thattaway. ---

I’m wondering if anyone uses the onX app for finding trails. I’m giving it some consideration and curious what your expe4rience has been. Is it worth the money or is it the kind of thing you subscribe to when you need it and then cancel? ---

I use the onX Hunt app, mostly for the land ownership feature. Works well, and integrates with Android Auto too. I did just pull it up and found a mountain bike trail near me that is only about a year old, so it looks like that the maps are updated regularly. I paid for an annual subscription for the two state version, which works out to $4.52 per month. My only complaint about it is the segregation between the versions (Hunt, Offroad, and Backcountry). I’m not sure exactly what Offroad and Backcountry offer that Hunt doesn’t, but I would think that a version that covers everything would be useful. When I am hunting, I am also offroading and camping. ---

I’ve subscribed to onX offroad, but I never really used it. Maybe once or twice, some time ago. It is my _ **sense** _ that it is a good quality app with good info, and I’m slightly aware that it has a good reputation, but that’s the extent of my knowledge. It’s the kind of thing where, sure, give it a try and then be sure to use it, and then you’ll know. Wish I could be of more help for you, but that’s all I got. I’ve been on some trails (Toroweap Overlook, Shafer Trail in Canyonlands, Thelma & Louise Point out of Moab, others in Moab and Canyonlands), but I’ve usually used other information sources for those trails. ---

This is what my concern was. I’d like to have the features of both Offroad and Hunt, but not sure if I’d have to pay for both or get a premium sub. I’ll be going up to hunting camp in a couple weeks so maybe I’ll do the trial then and see. ---
