No we are working together on the EAF ones. And I'm working with him by getting a big group up to get the others cheaper for everyone that's why I need 10-15 people

 

...

 

Good deal. Disregard my previous comment.
One day maybe I'll be "EAF" status if I can ever figure out what it means.

 

No problem it's easy to get miss understood over the Internet.

 

Eccentric-As-F*ck

 

What a nice crew to explore with. Every time I see that Bronco it reminds me of high school.

 

Bronco you say?

Had to guide the herd with the Toyota. Haha.

Looks like you need a helping hand to keep some of them in line!

 

Me and some friends heading through the Badlands and Black Hills last week.

 

If you end up going that route... i might want to tag along too LOL. either or, have fun! Cant wait to see the trip report.

 

@SixthSnail Here is my quick and dirty antenna mount. Gets the job done.

Scrap metal found in my garage........................ ✔
Yakima mount thing found in a box in garage......✔
Old scanner antenna pulled from spare parts.......✔
BNC to PL-259 adapter from spare parts............✔
Re-purposed Baofeng Radio...............................✔
SO-239 to reverse SMA adapter.....................$2.50





Later in the day I painted it black, so it blends in more. Overall I'm quite pleased.

 

I went with a drill through the roof method for mine. Seemed like the most logical. lol

 

The antenna in my post above is for occasional dedicated scanning of state / fed freq., not 2-way comms.

 

Finished my rear seat drawer replacement. Only thing left to do is find some closely matching carpet.

 

Tried out my sleeping platform with an air mattress this weekend. Glad I didn't buy a new air mattress for this purpose because I won't be doing this again. LOL

It wasn't awful, but it was super awkward getting in and out, and the lack of headroom made it annoying to get situated. My dog thought it was fine, though.

 

What containers do you use for under your bed storage? im currently going with similar set up as you but also figuring out the under bed storage. I am looking at :http://www.homedepot.com/p/Sterilite-67-Qt-Wheeled-Latch-Box-18958004/100671090

 

Currently, it's not very organized. Everything is either in an old bag, or just thrown in there. I plan on getting something similar to what you linked. Either that, or I'll build some drawers.

 

FWIW, I've had better luck with smaller containers. Large containers like that can be a real burden when they're full of stuff. I went with a 15qt size and built my platform so that they'd slide in with a little room to spare. I've got enough room for four of them (one kitchen stuff, one tarps/awning/tent stakes, two food). I've got a long piece of rod with a hook bent into the end that I use to grab the ones that sit further back.

 

Maybe a thinner pad?

Like your side table idea.

 

Me too, great idea!
