    I think it’s exactly the same as their ditch light mounts, just comes in one.

    To use that mount with a CB antenna, you have to run some sort of adapter don't you? Which antenna are you running on that mount.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    My guess is he probably has to use a NMO whip mount

    I didn't notice any change in fumes at all when I axle dumped my tail pipe. The only thing that changed wss that it made my truck quieter since it removed the TRD tail pipe portion. Oh and now it doesn't bang on rocks all day long on the trail which is great

    I think that mount is primarily designed for Ham frequency antennas. :notsure:

    I do see they make adapters to be able to use CB antennas with a 3/8 NMO mount tho. Was curious what he is using.

    Yeah I guess if you use NMO you have to use a bottom load whip base cause I can't find any mid or top load antennas like the fire stick for it. @jubei I know you told me before but I forget what you got

    Stuff. Also things.
    Like Zane said, it’s a bottom loaded whip with an NMO mount. Love it so far!

    Did the big 3 upgrade on my truck today. Easy to do but a lot of damn tape to cut away and looms to remove, but other than that it’s worth the effort.

    Just changed the plugs after my flashing check engine light. Seems to be running fine. No flashing light now. Maybe I should take it for a test drive and get it hot.

    Took it for a test drive and got the motor up to temp. This is what it sounds like now. Don’t mind the yorkie barking in the background. He’s just excited I’m home.

    Today I got first pick of a donor Tacoma. We scored manual hubs, spindles, CV shafts, UBJs and diff tube for about 70 bucks. Not too shabby.
