GMRS RADIOS: BEST Overlanding Comms?! (Midland MTX275 Install, Long Distance Test)

Overlanding is more fun and safer with friends! So we installed awesome 2-way radios in our Toyota 4Runner and Chevy Colorado ZR2! We show you how to cleanly install the Midland MicroMobile MTX 275 Radio and mount an antenna. Then we hit the trails to try them out and do a long range test!
