Now I need a longer Whip antenna! Just tried out a mic/system check with @Ross4x4
15W midland picked him up off of Usery while I sat in my truck on Idaho n Main

 

They are generally sold as +db antennas. The stubby is like a +3db and the taller is the +6db. I have both, both work great.

 

Ive got the stubby on it now and was surprised to pick him up. He wasn't able to hear me back?
Should work better out in the field rather than in a small neighborhood.

 

Ya, with this one I can really reach out far and pick people up. https://midlandusa.com/products/micromobile-mxta26-6db-gain-whip-antenna

 

That's the Antenna I run as well. Having it higher up defiantly helps as well. I should have defiantly been able to t pick you up from such a short distance. I'm guessing the metal rack on one side is blocking some signal

 

Saw this and am now wondering how do we accomplish this mod.

 

Trail beers are the best beers!

 

That sounds like a good slogan for a beer company.

 

If you want warm beers that are all shaken to the point of blowing the top off, just leave them in the bed in the box they came in.


In all seriousness, it's a cool idea for a SEMA build, but I don't think it's practical. I'll keep my super expensive cooler with trail (bear) proof latches and be fine with it.

 

You can put more than just beers in there.

GIve me a sawzall and a few hours with your truck I can hammer that out buddy.

I would keep my whiskey and rum back there. Maybe the weed and bong. Not beers though. Those are in the cab. Sir.

 

Easy access

 

Exactly

 

That's also his nickname.

 

You need this in the cab.

 

I think Andrew just holds a bottle in each hand, tilts his head back and mixes it himself

 

we still talking beer...?

 

figured I’d tackle this project while the font diff is out

 

Definitely one of the best mods I've done as well. Haven't had to replace the rack since. Before, I would blow out the bushings.
