Colorado B.S. Thread

Same here with the Tonka.

 

Love them KO2's, just got some a little while back myself. Made some of the ice at slaughterhouse gulch easily traversible last weekend when my rubicon buddies were having trouble keeping traction.

 

You mean the ground wire just runs to the bed rail bolt? Because those and the rails aren't grounded to the frame, which you need to be. I ran my all the way down to the cab mount. I tested using braided ground wire vs regular 10 gauge or whatever it was after some reading about the difference between electrical ground and radio ground, but it didn't make a difference so I stuck with the regular wire.

 

Interesting, I've read that the ground wire needs to be really short but if that works for you I might have to give that a try. Thanks acidchylde.

 

Nobody likes RTO's, might as well just yell on the top of a mountain and hope the right person hears you.

 

All of you guys who bed rail mount will have this issue. There is no ground plain there. A mount where a "ditch light" would go would be better, best=roof mount.

 

I been wondering what everyone was using for CB radios. Only 4 pages later i am caught up. I been going back and forth on the cobra 75 or a larger unit. I understand the lager units usally bave the SWR builit in. I know i want somthing that can have a PA system in. Cause who doesnt like helling at your co workers in the parking lot!

 

I have a PA too so I can yell at people or just leave the CB on I'm outside so I can hear if anyone calls.

 

My setup:



This is on the driver side. Though I think I ended up running a wire to both sides just for the heck of it. And make sure to get metal to metal between wire and frame - through paint won't work.

 

I been wondering about this thinking of doing a passager side mount to be out of the way.

 

I don't have much room in my single cab so was thinking the 75 or getting a full size and mounting it where the radio goes and getting a simple deck for a radio. Anyone know if this is a good idea or can even be done?

 

Hell yeah a "manpack"! I just inventoried one the other day. We never use them haha

 

so is this the official colorado group and not the other one?

 

You found it.... Welcome. The other page is mainly used for events. This one is for saying hello

 

Which other one are you referring to?

 

Here is my set up

 

i guess it was the colorado events thread.

 

T

they sure don't make toys like they used to. Nothing but plastic junk nowadays. We used to ride mine down the driveway. Toys don't last too long around my house especially with my two little hell raisers.

 

This is for official BS

The other is for official upcoming events.... and BS

There's also one for trip reports.... and BS

a trading post.... and BS

we even occasionally make new threads and try to force obnoxious BSers to use them.

 

is that where you throw the non toyota owners?
