NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Can help with that as well

 

Actually just installed a CB last night on my truck. Where/how are you mounting the antenna? That's all you're missing besides a SWR meter if you want to tune the antenna yourself.

 

Mounting it to my ditch light bracket.

 

We're considering switching our sport for an offroad. Realistically how often are you guys coming across trails locally that a short bed can make but a long bed couldn't? Not looking to build a dedicated crawling rig, but ensure we can make it to the remote camping spots.

 

@ninernation
As a long bed owner I would say don't waste your money. Full skids, sliders and recovery gear. If you want to spend more, lockers.

You don’t want to loose that extra foot.

 

When I load up with the whole fam dogs included, I have to borrow my friends roof box.

 

Why are you guys even fucking with CB when ham is out there?

 

make sure the bracket is grounded but antenna is not grounded. Gotta get those nylon bushings in the right order. I had to grind off some of the powdercoat to get it grounded and my antenna tuned great after that.

 

Good tip.

 

I don't want to talk to you when you're in Cali, I just want be able to talk to folks close by.

 

Because I gotta study for the test....

 

I've been just sitting on my HAM radio book trying to find time

 

Who cares - I can't think of a single time the FCC has prosecuted anyone for that.

(I have my license)

 

Sad!

 

Personally I'm running both, but log trucks like to make hood ornaments out of pickups not running a CB.

 

Gpmrs?

 

One of these days when you a here you can come over for a home cooked meal and face to face conversation.

 

Truth.

 

Current set up. 4ft CB in the rear.
