NJ B.S. Thread

Depends how its wired in unless there is a fuse in my radio I don't have a fuse on that power line... Its just directly to the battery...

I never fried a stereo but I fried a TV once... Sparks were flying out like fireworks and the plastic was burning...

I fried chicken once too... But that was just right

 

That was my original plan, but I really wanted to try this mount / location install, and I'm a little OCD and go nuts if wires and stuff are running around.

A lot of the reviews I read online show that the walkie talkie ones only go like 1/2 mile and in the woods will barely go around a curve. Not sure if they're right or not. Though they do say everything you ready on the internet is true. Bonjourno!

Yea, I realized later last night that if I had looked closely, it indicated there wasn't one. It was my stupidity, not there's.

Thanks for the offer! I am actually heading down to my parents today to put a new blower fan resistor in their Grand Prix and go out to a late lunch / early dinner. Josh's house is pretty much on the way to theirs, so I'll try to meet up with him. If not, I may take you up on it.

 

You've never tried to get it right!

A handheld is a waste of money. Get a good radio, even my cobra 75 works great. It's not rocket science. You just tried using miscellaneous used parts. Buy new coax, new mounts, and be done with it

Yea I need some coffee. I think I should get a keurig for the bedroom

 

CB install complete. Now just have to tune it. Can hear some people in the background, so it's at least working.

 

nice job mike!

 

Thanks! And please disregard the yotatech stickers. I just pm'd tcbob for a tacomaworld one.

 

Clean install Mike.

 

cb looks great! I like the folding antenna

 

Thanks guys. Yea, I had to go with the folding one. One time when I went to dinner in Morrison with the old truck, I had to park in a garage and hit every truss on the way in and every truss on the way out. Had a lot of people laughing.

 

Clean install Mike. Fold down antenna fo da win

 

I think I may need to steal that idea Mike. It will solve some antenna issues I am having currently.

 

Or use a quick disconnect and throw it on when you need it

 

I had the folding piece at first, couldn't get a good tune with it. If you use a spring you can just bend it over and hook it on something.

 

Maybe theyll extend bear hunting areas down past 79

 

They won't let it happen...

 

Haha I've been eyeing for a number of years. Figured if I was going to do a radio install, I was going to do it right this time.

I tried that on my '99 and kept forgetting to put it back in. Eventually I rusted it out.

That's an interesting point. Will be curious to see if I run into that problem. I borrowed Josh's cable to tune it, but it was dark by the time I got home tonight. Will try for tomorrow night and see how it goes.

 

Statistically you have a better chance of being killed by lightning than a fatal black bear attack

 

Yes i hunt... I have no real desire to hunt black bear... They eat trash and taste terrible.

Truth

 

I thought I read it was the first ever black bear fatal attack in NJ
