Now you need a big ass cb antenna

 

Yeah I freaked out when I did it at first because the crappy hole saw I got from Harbor Freight wouldn't cut through the fender, it just chewed the shit out of the paint in a circlular pattern lol. That was fun.

Went and picked up the Milwaukee brand one at Home Depot and it cut through like a hot knife through butter

 

Where's that butt snorkel picture

 

nope. had enough of playing on CB radio when I was in high school. HAM or nothing.

 

Fine

 

Ham is really annoying for trail talk though, great for lots of things, but idle chit chat between friends and calling out oncoming and obstacles isn't one of them

 

LOL hahaha

yeah, when I read your note about the HF hole saw kit I knew I was picking up a nice new quality hole saw from HD.

 

valid point. damn repeater tones and all the protocol I imagine would be a pain. Oh well, in that case its a portable.

 

I had both when I went to Pismo. The HAM was nice because it was portable and I was able to talk to spotters outside the truck. The CB was useful when I was traveling on the highway in a convoy.

Like me and tyler

 

Yeah I remember driving the 2 miles to Home Depot to get the Milwaukee brand with my chewed up fender thinking everyone was looking at it like 'WTF did that guy do to his truck' lol

 

Surprised you bothered with the HF holes saws. I remember warning someone about those. Must not have been you tho. They're terrible, absolute shit. Pretty much all of their blades for anything are bottom of the barrel trash. I really had to chowder my clutch MC hole when I swapped the truck to manual haha.

 

I had a buddy use his airsaw on mine

 

HF stuff had never lasted/worked good for me. But craftmen stuff has never failed me

 

you left that out of your 'official' notes on the install

 

depends on the stuff, their wrenches and sockets are actually good and plenty strong. Consumables don't last long

 

Yeah I wish it was me you told, I would've avoided them lol. I don't know if it was the blade or the fact that the hole saw was so shallow...probably both...but it was bad. Barely dug into the fender at all and our fenders are thin AF.

 

Almost all the tools i buy are craftmen and hasnt failed me. I even have nee craftmen stuff that says “made in usa”

 

Their wrenches have only dissapointed me, they don't fit snug and the hardening is bad so they bend and then you have rounded fasteners. Sockets are good though if theyre the Taiwanese impact sockets

 

didn't know you passed your ham test. did you do that group license thing they had up in the north bay? I was going to head up there but had a conflict with the date. Waiting for the next one.

Not sure if I could do the 'like me and tyler' thing...
