Great idea Will!

 

sure, whatever floats your boat

 

will, the bed liner on top works really good for "traction"...

 

Looks great, Will. you got any pictures of where the mounts weld to the frame?

 

looking good....

 

havent posted here lately. so..................................

here are a couple pics of the frame mounts for the revenge fab sliders...





installed all my hellas on my brushguard...



was having driveline vibes...so i made spacers and spaced the carrier bearing a bit...





mounted my 4xrac and hi-lift....




and i just installed my cb.........




didnt get pics yet, but my antenna is mounted on my toolbox.
getting close to done with most of what i was wanting to do....for now!

 

you did get the cb....nice job mounting it...does it work ok?

 

thanks man, and yeah.....works pretty good now. i had to get a different antenna...the other didn't match too well, and i had to get an inline noise suppressor......pics up really well now as far as i can tell......and squelch is at a minimum with the suppressor......meaning the squelch button doesnt turn but maybe a quarter inch till its off.

 

did you buy it at the truck stop where I bought the swr metre?

 

i got the cb from hodgey, but i got the noise suppressor and antenna(i got a wilson antenna......still adjustable too, but the firestiks weretoo damn tall.....they didnt have any 3 footers) from that flying j that me and you went to. it doesnt come in as clear as yours did, but its pretty damn close.....plus...my wattage is awesome....and as im told, a bit illegal. so maybe what wasnt to clear earlier was someone coming in from a long ways off.....closer, i can hear them crystal clear.

 

sweet!!! what's your handle? tacomaman?

 

at the meet....it will be...definitely!!! not sure what ima pick as normal tho.......gotta think bout that!

 

I'm digging the mount location Will, I'm wondering where I should mount mine this weekend.

 

either on your tool box, or your bed rails..........you got more options to work with having that second gen. i thought for a while, cause honestly, i wasnt sure mine was gonna fit on my tool box, but im glad it did. its pretty solid too.

 

Haha....no toolbox to mount it to. And my bed rails are being occupied by my bedcover so I might be S.O.L.

 

ah..thought you had a box. my bad. maybe you can make some drop down brackets that will drop from the bed rails at the front or side,and it still be functional for the bed cover.

 

i love the look of the 4 lights!...did you use the two factory holes that were pre-drilled or did you have to drill 4 new ones?

 

Truck is looking good Will!

Ghost, you could always go with a magnetic antenna. That's what I'm using....I know I know it looks like a RC truck but dammit it works!

 

i drilled 4 new holes after measuring and deciding where i wanted the lights. they are a good fit too.
