Damn good buy, you will enjoy that setup.

yea....it was very sticky and nasty (and smelled horrible), but with much fun!!! jejeje =D

the little car, we had to stretch at all times...he lived in that area, and asked us for help...

I bet, I have gray clay at my place and it smells horrible too.

so...the problem is, where to put it?

so...the problem is, where to put it?

that all depends on you, I have mine mounted in the cubby hole under the radio. but I've seen guys mount thers in the center consol or the rear cup holder on the back of the console, one of the new members mounted his to the bottom of the cubby under the 4x4 switch. Just make sure the antenna is mounted on the drivers side.

I love the cup holder, I do not like to sacrifice that, I will wait that the Radio arrive, so I present that and decide where to leave It... the cubby hole under the radio is a good option...deammm... I love all the spacee... jejeje...
Its better not have bought this radio, and not sacrifice that space! =D

I found that I dont really miss the space under the radio, I have the one in now sitting all the way down so I still have half of it I can use.

Thomas you have such a variety of terrain down there. Very cool! Looks like a blast, even though I despise mud.

 

[night_angel]

how far I can go with this CB Radio .. assuming that the 2 are similar CB`s....

5 to 10miles? more? here we have no mountains, just flat land...

5+ miles or so sould be no problem. Just make sure you tune both of them.

Really too many variables to tell. At home I can get about 2-5 miles pretty easy. But on the trail sometimes I'm lucky to hear someone 1/8 mile away. It also depends on the person you are trying to talk to and their setup. Trees and buildings will also effect the performance.

some news more....

I need some good skid plate...my orignal TRD from aluminum , is damaged around, it's time for something better and more durable...to protect the engine and gearbox...

from 1/8 Steel plate... I think it's ok, ...because we have no rocks here, more mud and sand...

that should be plenty strong for that stuff.

 

[night_angel]

the skid plate is finished, now I leave it for painting with powdercoat...
will be ready on Monday or Tuesday

My CB radio arrived tomorrow or Monday .. the antenna and cable just arrived on Wednesday (I hope) ..
