    PB Blaster, BFH, and a breaker bar or an impact should make short work of it. Worked for my camber bolt.

    This one on Amazon is a cheap entry one
    Uniden 40-Channel CB Radio (PRO505XL) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005ZLB0E4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_raP1AbV6WT0DE

    Pair it with the magnetic antenna that is suggested on the page.

    Alternatively, the Midland 75-822 is good but you gotta keep the antenna in line of sight. So like up on the dash. The signal can get pretty bad if the unit is resting in the seat next to you

    Midland 75-822 40 Channel CB-Way Radio https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00000K2YR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_McP1AbD6836AG

    If you're looking for something long term, then Midland, Uniden, or Cobra are all good brand. But you'll need coax cable, an antenna, mount, power.

    Thanks man, yeah I actually just started doing some reading on the midland 75-822 40, I think I’m also gonna get a firestik antenna and some coax for some better signal. I like that I could take it out of vehicle if need be. It’s got the options of being portable and mobile.

    Didn't know you vape. Do you want this? It fits an Alien, might fit yours. It's made for a cup holder but it doesn't fit my manual transmission cup holders. Which are apparently a different size.

    That's what I got. I picked it up because I could use it right out of the box. Like I said, it works well as long as the antenna is high enough. Otherwise you'll want to upgrade to a dedicated firestik

    All, for those who were interested, I have an update on the Yokahama M/T G003's. As I said before, they are really fantastic tires. And, for an M/T, they are pretty tolerable on the road and were awesome on the relatively mild trail running we did in Bastrop. Oh, and they look outstanding. That said, after a few lengthy road trips, I am pussing out and going with something a little more road biased. Thanks to Yokahama's 30 day test drive, I am trading them back in. Picked up a set of 4Runner Pro style 17" TRD rims today (flat black of course) and 275/70/17 E KO2's. I've had mixed experiences with KO2's in the past, so hopefully I don't regret this.

    With that, I am about to have a set of Tacoma Pro 16" wheels and the original Goodyear Wranglers sitting in the garage if anyones interested in buying them. :) Just PM me.

    You are welcome to use my cobra handheld if you don’t have one for PINS. It works well in closer range while in the cab and decent range when hanging out the window or outside the cab

    I have the same radio as ChadsPride and I've never had a problem, I highly recommend the Uniden radios.

    I pick up my rental trailer at 10am, have to pickup a few friends, and then we're on the road.

    I thought 3pm was late too but the tradition on all the trips I’ve been on that we drive into camp in the dark.

    Gives me an excuse to light up the night!

    So I have reworked my CB antenna mount slightly. Much better signal now.

    Appreciate that! But I actually just ordered the Midland 75-822 40. Should be here tomorrow, gonna try it out and see how it goes. If possible may try to get an antenna hooked up for PINS.

    Can run the wire through the cab out the rear slider window or through the sunroof if you got one.
