    A small handful of select mods.
    If you plan to get a CB at you can get a set up where your CB antenna acts as your radio antenna too. Everything I read on those super short antennas is that you loose signal strength. So I will be curious to see how it works for you. I just cut my factory antenna to the recommended 13 inches and re-painted it. Works great. Although I do believe it is time to replace the head unit in my truck.

    Here are the lights from MTE Greg McGee Engineering. Local guy here up in Thornton area selling some kick ass lights. Thanks for the recommendation OST

    First I wanted to show his lights next to my previously purchased Fenix PD32 UE (left) then the MTE M6-2 (middle) and the big boy MTE M3-2i (right)

    parena5u_c44bfd0d6d3b42777904745c85acdd94d73415bb.jpg

    Not a big size difference at 6 inches for the MTE M3-2i and 5.5 for the fenix PD32 UE

    aje5eduz_3e2534b3907d03662a1b9316ff5870b8a32dc1a9.jpg

    The front bezel is scalloped on all just in case

    Now the brightness test, locked the exposure and shot with all three lights

    The MTE M-6 being the dimmest at around 300 Lumen but still very powerful for $35 bucks

    Next the fenix PD32 UE AT 740 lumen has a much wider beam pattern but throws out a ton of light. $100 bucks when I purchased a while back

    uge7y8u4_757384a0bfef6816f83171dfa32cfde30ebb1446.jpg

    Now for the MTE M3-2i throws out a compact spot which is great. And at 1000 lumens it's a ton of light $100 bucks for the light with MTE charger, auto charger and 4 tenergy 18650 batteries

    Yes right before hwy 34. But it's Johnstown not Loveland. I thought it was Loveland when I came to look at the area.

    The n-fabs will get caught on rocks if you plan to wheel it. Get actual rock sliders.
