I did just order me a new F250 crew/SB 4x4 with the 7.3 godzilla motor for a shop truck though

Why are you using your truck to haul the transits equipment around?

Cause I need it done and we don't have a heavy enough truck. Which I why I just ordred one.

Ok that makes sense, that 7.3 is the new gasser?, is that a new Ford motor or based off the old diesel motor.

I appreciate your copious amount of straps to keep everything in check.

Oh zoom in and count the number of zip ties on the ladders,
guess my FNL doesn't like my driving.

That's not all of them, he has more!
Tried to get him to sell some, he's 72 or 73, he doesn't use or get on those damn ladders
Damn that is a nice trailer!
X2!I appreciate your copious amount of straps to keep everything in check.

Had a productive day on the Tacoma today. I finished the GMRS install. Turns out the NMO I got from Midland wasn’t going to work so I ended up going to a shop in Lewisville to get the correct one...that sucked. But, I was able to get the radio all buttoned up and I’m quite pleased with it. There is a GMRS repeater in Rockwall that I think I might be able to hit from the driveway so that’ll be fun to play with once I get my callsign and the owner grants me permission to use it.
I also finally installed the extended SS brake line for the rear after it riding around on the floor of my back seat for the better part of a year. Got the brake system bled and then I repaired the broken wiring for the light bar on my bumper.
The new radiator is here, but I’m waiting for my thermostat to arrive before I tear into that job. My truck now has a unicorn horn, but it’s shorter than the FM antenna so I have a good “am I gonna rip off the GMRS antenna” gauge for when I’m running the ghost antenna. I do have the 6db whip antenna coming in the mail just cause I want to play with them and see if there’s actually a notable difference. My friends in Arkansas reported contact at 12 miles with roof mounded antennas. One had the ghost, one had the whip.
I am quite excited to get rid of the CB and no longer hear the whip antenna rattling around in the tie-down.

That is the perfect spot for the antenna according to all of the diagrams and HAM people I have talked to. Next trip we can do some distance testing.
