Hello. I'll be trying to make a similar setup soon and hit the road working remotely for a few month before i have to be back in the office. My main priority is being able to get the work done effectively. Do you mind sharing more about your wifi set up / cell crevice amplifier? What provider do you use for the LTE? How much does it generally cost? do you get throttled ? Sorry lots of questions

@BigSexyBeastAdventures

3 жыл бұрын

I use verizon. I didn't get throttled this trip. It's workable if you plan ahead on days that you need hyper connectivity. It helps if you pool your high connectivity meetings on certain days of the week. You'll want to camp with good line of sight to a tower those days and use the booster to get you to full signal. There were a couple of days where I still wanted a sat phone for voice calls.... but not many. Happy to help with more questions.

In Jersey now and my goal is to hit the cape lookout national first, Smokey mtns next, then make my way south to FL and eventually Baja for some surfing and spearfishing. 1) I got an OTR like you do, but not sure where to mount it without the roof basket on the top. Where did you have it mounted before? 2) How was the cape lookout trip in terms of service / conference calling/ zoom? Are there spots where connectivity was better you would suggest? I work as a mangement consultant so I have quite a bit of zoom calls, though some could just be phone calls, going on in my week and with a new project starting up, I suspect things are going to get pretty busy I'm excited for the trip and adventure, but working has to be a priority, at least 5 days week ha.

I had a ‘17 Tacoma TRD Pro right before buying the Tundra. The Tacoma transmission and gearing is frustrating. It gear hunts a lot. There are a few videos out on KZread about this and some people regear their new Tacoma’s. Apparently Toyota does this for mpg. The Tacoma is much more narrow trail friendly. Tundra can feel a little big on trails and in the woods. On the whole, I love the V8 and the crew max cab. I’m about to drop the predator steps for slee step sliders.
