x3 for Cobra 75 .. I love it

 

LOL!! I was going to purchase one of the tab mounts from you for now. Assuming they mount into the bed track

Ya looks like a great unit

BINGO, Thanks!!

 

The Cobra should be fine, as stated a number of people use them with good feedback, I have read a number of reviews all positive. Antenna wise the Fire-stick is widely used offers compact design, a tad heavy, keep in mind that you should install no less then an 18' length of coax. Other Short lightweight antennas would be Francis, they make a 3,4 and 5 foot one. Keep in mind that if you go the bed rail system route you will need to run a ground from the mount to the frame for SWR purposes

 

Alex get the bed bar so you can also get some dust lights.

 

btw, I'd stay away from the antenna spring, these at times can become an issue down the road for holding swr. The bed bar is really a no brainer, antenna mount and lights. Hopefully Tyler's contact has more then 1?

 

Well poo, looks like I need to do more research on how to mount the antenna and such. Wont it snap without the spring?

 

Just so happens that I have 2 left

 

Here is the hot ticket for getting a good ground, other end direct to frame.

 

Sweet, I'll pm you for details on acquiring one.

 

Do see why not.

 

yup, or I could make one for you Alex as I have the braid and ends, just need to cut it to length and solder the ends on it.

 

I dont use a spring, only issue is bushes , which I know you will stay away from.

 

HAHAHA. Damn Bushes. All of this is a bit beyond me so I am going to need some help please. I'll do all the work just need a teacher. I am going to order The CB, antenna and the 18ft of coax today. Once that has been acquired I'll research my mounting options. I was thinking about just doing a Single mount tab for now and then get the rear light bar when I get the front one (and lights) but before that I need skids and sliders

 

you're covered Alex, between all of us here you're in good hands, again when you need my help just holla

 

btw, just for the folks wondering how many fills are possible out of a 10# co2 tank I just filled and had 26 top offs, and 18 full flat to fill, from 31" -35" tires, cost was 28 bucks to re-fill at air gas in KM

 

Good to know, thanks. Sounds like a few guys owe you about .38 cents.

 

Makes me want one more!!!!

 

nah, just nice to have a tank or 2 around, its so affordable and easy to carry.

 

Ah ye ol CB mounting. Fun afternoon project right there. Make sure you get the PA speaker so you can yell at stupid kids who are screwing around along side of the road! May I recommend RJ as a ride along partner to commentate on people aloud.
