    Firestick arrived today so I have most parts in place. This weekend I'm going to install the CB. Headlights are still a work in progress. Waiting on the 3m to seal it up.

    Hmm. What size firestick did you get if you don't mind me asking. Been thinking of setting up a CB as well.

    Still procrastinating on the headlights, getting the old adhesive out is something I don't feel like doing...

    But I did install my CB (Cobra 75) this weekend. Haven't identified an area to put the mic hanger yet and to be honest the one that came with it is pretty flimsy so I'm currently looking for a new one before I start drilling anywhere. I didn't get a fire ring coax so instead I hacked up the plastic part that covers the cowl to allow for the hanger to swing clear when I open the hood. Tonight I'll be testing the SWR and tweaking as needed. Here are a couple quick pick I snapped.

    Subbd Matt!! Really good stuff going on here. With your 315's and 4.56 what are you running for RPM at 70 in 6th gear. I'm looking to do something similar next spring and am in the debate on 4.56 or 4.88's... I'm a 6 speed too.

    Nice, thanks! If you're mid 2k at 70 that sounds very similar to what i'm running stock with 265/75's. I'm 2400 at 70 in 6th right now.
