    no problems at all. It will hit at some drive threw places but it is so high up it just bends. Comes down in 2 seconds so it is not that much of a hassle for me. Only thing you have to watch out for with the magnet model is low branches. Only had it get knocked off once at shoe creek

    Good to know.... I wonder if the magnet on a K40 is any stronger, they claim 120 lbs of magnetic draw.

    I wanted to get a little Richmond meet together. We're all on such differing schedules it seems.

    So the branch must have came pretty close to the roof then.... I think I'm going to end up getting one... Gonna run over to Signal Communications at lunch and see what they've got in stock.

    Well, I threw the towel in and got a Little Wil antenna. $40 wasn't bad considering I didn't have to pay for shipping.

    I know people who have them and don't have anything bad to say about them. I would probably go that route if I was to get another magnetic one

    I was going to get the 1000 because I want the range, but I didn't want to spend the money. My brother has a little wil on his Cherokee and he gets some really good range with it though so I said the heck with it.

    33x12.5 MTZ's. They are awesome... except on ice sheets. But even then no tire does well unless its studded. I have no spacers.

    Im just looking to jump to a 34 in the km2 flavor. Dont know if I can get enough out of 5 for a new set of 4.
