What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

How's the leg room? I've been eyeing those panels for the last month, and since they're still on sale...

 

I've had mine in my truck about 6 months (same brand), and I've never had any legroom issues.

I'm also 5-5 and have seat jackers on front AND back.

 

I'm 5'11", no issue. The radio does touch my right leg a bit.. so I may move it. I'm sure I'll move things around on them.

I will also add I received these rather quickly. Definitely opposed Victorys proposed lead time of 10-15 days or whatever the site says.

 

I’ve also been looking for an alternative that won’t break the bank

 

Seems fairly decent.. Haven't had the opportunity to use it yet. Only had it for 2 days. We figured it can't be that bad. Should serve its purpose. It has a cable to plug into the truck to recharge the batteries. Kind think it should have come with those 9 AA rechargeables.. but for 100 beans I'm not going to argue.

 

The black are smoked and these are clear lens and blacked out housing and smoked macaroni noodles the white part of the lights.

 

They look so good

 

Yeah the rechargeable packs are always nice. Do you have to use the magnetic antenna or can it be used with a larger mounted bracket?

 

Not so much the what I did to the truck but I got my HAM operators license today! Now I get to justify a new ham radio for the truck!

 

Don't stop there. Get your General as well so you can legally talk around the world on the radio. Extra class is another whole ball game though. Way more questions asked and a much larger question pool. But the General isn't much harder than the tech license was. Many do both and pass the same day, I waited 2 months between all of mine. I actually got addicted to taking practice exams!

 

Those the alpha black?

 

Both look good. I was staying with grey since I have cement.

 

So the actual lens is clear, but the inside is black? So doesn’t it still have a dark look to them when they are off. Yeah I didn’t like how the “noodles” was grey/white on the other models.

 

Yes those are Alpha Black

 

Correct the noodles are smoked and lens is clear

 

So this is for when you go offroading? Wouldn’t it be better to have those walk-in talkie style that multiple people can be on a channel with

 

Ah ok. it’s nice to see actual pictures, but their website photos are rendered and don’t really show you much. So if I wanted to have a darker taillights you think I should get the other ones?

 

I agree

 

Which you think would look better on the grey?
