Colorado B.S. Thread

I have a ryobi and does lug nuts great, but in the real torqued stuff is not nearly as good as a dewalt

 

ridgid FTW

 

I do like ridgid and their lifetime warranty.

 

Get outta here with that talk!

 

Someone on FB is selling this CB (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Cobra-19-Ultra-III-Citizen-Band-Radio/4642484) has anyone used this before? I am tempted cuz it's so much cheaper than the Cobra 75 WX ST I was looking at, but am I going to regret cheaping out on this?

 

The CB itself isn't as important as the antenna and tuning. All CB's are limited by law to 4W. you can have them boosted, but that only boosts your transmit not your reception.

 

When I bought the 75WXST it was only like $67 on Amazon.

 

So the main difference between this and the 75 WX ST is just that the controls are on the box rather than the handset? And if the antenna that comes with this CB is crappy I can use the same radio and just buy a new antenna?

 

Wth am I supposed to say lol

 

I will buy the Dewalt before end of summer the 899

 

there may be other features (weather, squelch control) but for a trail cb, it's fine. yes I'd just buy a new antenna... 108" whip in the center of your roof is the best you can get. but most people don't want 8' of antenna above their trucks... (I run one though)... so many go with a shorter antenna, this is where tuning really matters. the greatest CB with a good antenna still won't do well if it's not tuned.

 

you figured out your plan for Rock Therapy yet?


in other news, I just was told yesterday that I have 27-5th off... don't have to come back.. but I'm now stuck with the reservations for my campsite (GF wants access to a shower every night)... but at least I don't have to drive 12hrs just for a 12hr shift...

 

I-25! No "the"

 

Cool thanks, this helps a lot!

 

I used my my Milwaukee to do my lift kit.

 

I'm happy with my 3/8" drive Milwaukee impact I have. Does lug nuts just fine.

 

I can vouch for the quality of the Milwaukee tools. Just choose a reputable brand and make sure it's what you want. Stay consistent and that way all your batteries will work with any tool

 

Bad ass Becca! That turned out great.

I got a RIGID cordless impact for my birthday. Put it through a workout today and that thing did awesome. I got 4amp battery with it. And it interchangeable with my 2 other RIGID tools. And of course the lifetime warranty is killer.
