    Gian's was easy. The nylon washer wasn't on the correct side of the antenna stud.

    I'll be putzing around this weekend, mostly with the truck. If you want to drop in or gather up somewhere, can bring my multimeter and Cloudy's SWR meter and go over the transmitting chain to see where the issue is.

    Yeah, I was looking at getting Icons all the way around. I totaled up the cost and came out to about the same as a re-gear+ locker. I have 4.56+ARB now if that tells you anything.

    Well looks like they don't do resi's for 5 lugs but I can still do icons and to UCAs up front.... Kinda frustrated but really I would never truly need a resi..... Quote is at $1762 so cheaper than expected

    Welcome back. You get plenty of pictures? The CB work ok? Did Silas break CV axles? Enquiring minds want to know!
