Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Sweet tap dancing Jesus Christ my cb works pretty dam well! From each of out houses Andy and I got in the trucks and just turned em to 19 or whatever and had a conversation. Was mostly full of name calling but whatever. Was sort of crackly while he was talking but I could make out what he was saying perfectly fine an he could as well. We are probably close to 3 miles away so not bad. I'm just glad it works. LANDER HERE I COME

Awesome!

 

CB's biggest fall back is LOS, thus why I am switching to a HAM rig

 

Did you have to get a license to be able to use ham up there in canadia?

 

After I buy the co2 setup, a cb is next... Sliders, bed rack, and rtt keep getting pushed back... haha

 

So what firestick antenna do you guys recommend? I killed mine when I went wheeling with Ben last time. That thing was pretty flexible but the tree hit it right at the base and snapped it...

 

I'm looking at getting one of these two in the 4 foot option...

I can fold mine until the top touches the bottom and it was fine. It was the hit right at the base that killed it though. Base might be a weak spot I guess.

 

I can see it on my phone now. Haha

 

to stay legal, yup

its only 50 bucks to get the license after you pass

 

Oh ok yeah that makes sense then.

And what did it end up being that was the culprit for the CB?

 

Well I would stick to either Wilson flex or a firestik firefly (I recommend Firestik).

You also forgot to mention that the street got your tailgate too

 

No spring... Mine was so flexible that I hadn't needed a spring. Seems like that was literally the only way to break mine. I have had tree branch abuse the hell out of it and it has been fine until that cedar tree caught it at the base.

That one was a Wilson Super Flex...

Yeah that tree tagged my tail gate a little. haha

 

No, no, no! haha See above!

Good luck stealing my tailgate. It weighs like 70lbs, plus it has a hose clamp on one side and one of those compression struts riveted in on the other side so it doesn't slam down when you open it and I have one of those electric pop n lock things (can't remember the other brand now) that locks with the keyfob.


Dyno power lock was what I was trying to think of. haha

 

Yeah, I am a believer there. haha. I want a folding mount as well I think.

When Chris was still on here (Idaholandho) he was sick of firesticks. He had broke way too many of them. I think he picked up the same Wilson Super Flex I did, but know idea how it has held up now, if he is even using it that is.

 

good luck stealing mine, you have A unlock the swing away and B figure out how to open my swing away

than you have to get the hoseclamps off that face down which dont have access from under neath anymore as I put a screw on cover, hahahaha


but thieves are persistent sometimes

 

That is what I worry about though... Would be cool to find one with a locking pin or something.

 

So what is the difference between the two?

 

I could steal it haha Good luck stealing mine though without utterly fucking it up though. haha
