Colorado B.S. Thread

Thanks it's been drilled!

 

Wow, we only got bb sized hail on this side. I'll take the shitty high winds here over big ass hail.

 

Where at in NEPA? I did time there. And there's some stuff in this thread.

Glad you sorted this out before I had to

 

This is my first experience with hail damage. How do you determine if enough damage has been done to warrant making a claim to insurance? Based on the pictures mine is a bit worse than @aero3685 truck.

 

I thought CB hole was supposed to be 3/8"?

 

I would say go ahead and do it. Last year i had a few tiny spots and didn't file a claim but i didn't think twice about filling a claim this time since it's pretty bad. It'll also depend on what is going to be able to be fixed by paintless dent removal vs body shop/paint as far as the payout.

 

The antenna stud/bolt is 3/8"

 

Great thanks.
I'm by lake Walenpaupack.

 

I've fished there. I was in Scranton. Explored a bunch up there

 

It's basically like that. Its a shit hole

 

Sorry I'm late, LOL!!! I hope this helps?

 

That center "lug" is the "positive center conductor" for the antenna and the "outer edge is the GND" for the antenna. Thus, that plastic separator helps "center" the lug and also makes sure that the center conductor and GND do NOT TOUCH!!!

I know you already drilled it by now, but just explaining what is what on that lug bolt as well as the plastic separator!!!

 

I was just going to take a ball pean hammer to the truck and say i was out driving near where brandon was

 

Finally, if you're going to make an antenna bracket for, say a HAM connector:

The SO-239 adapter is approx 5/8" diameter

As you can see, the PL-259 connector is approx 5/8" inner dia


What I did for my HAM antenna was use a COBRA bracket and drilled the hole from a 1/2" to 5/8" diameter so I could fit the SO-239 barrel adapter you see just above (i.e. the 1st pic).

 

Nice, i just got a large ham antenna and need to figure out a folding mount.. since she'll be way too tall when not in use.

 

Huh?

 

Behind the passenger side is my tri-Band HAM antenna. It's a COMET SBB-224 and you can see it in the pic below: (NOTE: I have another HAM antenna as well, so that might not be it, LOL)
