    Well mainly cause i didn't paint the rear drums red, they only got painted black so that's probably why. However my mpg went up by at least 10.

    Got my CB and antenna mounted. SWR meter was off the charts, checked the antenna ground with an ohms meter everything checked out.

    Checked the wire and the connector was fine, then checked coax in the cab it had a connection. :confused: Hopefully it just means the connector has a short. Going to buy a different coax tomorrow…...

    I ordered new tires yesterday finally! for anyone looking for new tires and sees this, I wanted to share the word, yall help me spread the word too, 4WD.com ( I know its a jeep site) but they have 265/75/16 Goodyear duratracs for $169.99 a tire, and my dad found a coupon for 5% off so it makes the tires $161.99 plus free shipping for the month of April! these are the 6-ply class C tires, they are not the Class E 10-ply so they are gonna be alot cheaper either way. And on top of all that Goodyear is offering a $60 rebate through May 31st! so in the end, I found a set of the almighty Duratracs for $570 shipped to my front door. But ill have to figure in another $60 or so for mount and balance once they arrive, but it beats paying almost $800 any day!

    Mine read grounded good as well, but it wasn't. Make sure the hole in your mount is big enough that the stud fits without rubbing the mount.
