Kinda hard to build if you have no new parts. If that new job works out, you'll probably have more available funds.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping. I did just get a line on an ARB front bumper. Not my first choice of bumper but for the price I can't pass it up.

Got my CB installed finally.

Installed in ashtray spot:

My answer to the first gens not having a bed rail system:

Now I just need to borrow my buddy's SWR meter and get it tuned. I'm also going to pull the mount and finish grinding it down and hit it with some paint when I get my spring. I just grinded the top and back side to make sure it would ground in the meantime.

Looks good. Can you pick anything up?

When I fired mine up for the first time, I heard some mexicans speaking Spanish. Definitely made sure to inject a couple puto and jotos

What's behind the ash tray that keeps you from putting it further back?

There's some AC stuff back there. Ducts and stuff. They can be heated and pushed back but only about 1/8" and that wouldn't have been enough to flush mount it anyway so I just left it as is. Doesn't look that bad when you're in the truck and I'm happy with it.

Yeah, that's how most of them look. I'm gonna have to cut through a steel plate to get mine to mount flush... definitely going to do it though.

Have you considered modifying the radio housing instead?
