Kinda loud?

I was considering this package but Matt @Ditcherman found a better setup with a rocker switch intercom and wireless headsets. Matt, post what you shared with us outside of this thread.

I don’t know that its a better choice, it’s just their high end thing with the best stereo sound from your phone, integrating into your comms radio which takes precedence when something comes through, an a rocker switch sized remote mount as a vehicle intercom. The carbon fiber bass-boost wired headphones round out the package that’ll set you back about $1500 for a two seat package.
If I win the lottery there will be signs.

STX - REMOTE HEAD - STEREO High Fidelity Intercom with Bluetooth Music

The STX REMOTE HEAD Intercom features our best-selling stereo features in a compact package that fits in all standard rocker switch holes. With dash space at a premium, this intercom delivers huge performance in a compact package featuring High Fidelity True Stereo Music. The STX REMOTE HEAD...

ETA This started out just looking for earpro/intercom, then morphed into integrating the GMRS radio, then morphed into “why not?”.
I’m not sure with as much unbalanced radio signals as we have on the trail that I want the handi-talkie person and the strong-radio-signal person all right on my ear. I’ve got my cabin db level down enough to be tolerable.
Also not sure about feeling disconnected on the trail with headphones, for me it’s that 1200 mile slog through Kansas.

Again I was 8 pages behind but caught up now. Missed the radio conversation but I am interested in installing something with headset that might blue tooth music until there is radio traffic coming through. Does such a combination exist?

The 45 is kinda loud.

Same here. I use a noise canceling headset for the highway that my friend has for racing, but I switch to a handheld and the radio mounted in the Cruiser when I am in town or off road.

I like that the intercom module that you found hides behind the dash with only the outline of a rocker switch being visible.

🚨 🚨 BREAKING: Major Changes Coming to the Alpine Loop (Effective 2026) 🚨🚨

This was announced early this morning by the newly formed Department of Outdoor Use Oversight (DOOU), and it will impact everyone who recreates in the San Juan Mountains.


We’ve confirmed this is NOT a rumor…. It’s JUST an APRIL FOOL’S JOKE!!


After years of “increased usage, environmental impact, and visitor management concerns,” the DOOU has approved a pilot program that will dramatically change how the Alpine Loop operates.


Here are the four major changes:


1️⃣ One-Way Traffic Pilot (Clockwise Only)
Beginning in Summer 2026, the entire Alpine Loop will be converted into a clockwise-only route.

• No counterclockwise travel permitted
• Turnarounds will be monitored by seasonal “Directional Compliance Officers”
• Violations may result in being escorted back to Silverton… the long way}


2️⃣ Toll Gates at Engineer & Cinnamon Pass
Two toll stations will be installed at the base of both passes:

• $25 per vehicle
• $5 per person (yes, even passengers)
• Dogs must purchase mandatory waste kits (2 bags minimum) for $2.50 each
• Exact change encouraged due to “limited alpine WiFi infrastructure”


3️⃣ Altitude Adjustment & Acclimation Checkpoints
Due to a “rise in altitude-related incidents,” all visitors will now be required to stop at designated checkpoints:

• Mandatory 5-minute breathing assessment
• Visitors must correctly answer: “What elevation are you currently at?”
• Anyone showing signs of “sea-level behavior” may be required to descend immediately


4️⃣ Wildlife Right-of-Way Expansion Program
In partnership with regional wildlife authorities:

• Mountain goats now have full right-of-way authority
• Marmots may trigger temporary road closures “at their discretion”
• Any vehicle honking at wildlife will incur a $75 “emotional distress” fine


We know this is a LOT to take in, and we’re working to understand how this will impact our veteran outings, training runs, and shuttle support for events like Hardrock.


More updates to come as we get clarification from DOOU.

Stay safe out there—and plan accordingly.

April Fools 😂 — No tolls, no one-way rules, and the goats still run the place.

I was trying to figure out how to pass/cheat the altitude test.

As of now, front runner idea is a colored flag option for us to learn before hit the road😁

More April Fool’s? This might be a more efficient way to get pizza at the Brown Dog, but not that much fun!!

Also, might not need solid axles to do the trails in the future?
