    If I were you if look into getting a 2 meter radio. They are nice because you can modify them to transmit on all the race frequencies (MARS CAP mod) and you also have a broad range of frequencies on the fly. If I'm not mistaken, a "race radio" has to be programmed and you only have a certain number of frequencies you can use.

    I have the Icom ic-v8000 and I really like it quite a bit. You can just plug in whatever frequency you want to use (136-174 MHz).

    Said that since its not the one everyone else normally gets due to price. TM-281a

    Is it a better deal that the $100 that Jim is selling his for? Is price the deal since you said it was cheap?

    The radio is just a small part of the deal. You need an antenna also. Are you going to run a mic or headsets? If headsets than you need a control box, wiring and headsets. On of those things make the price of the radio itself chump change. I just paid more for a headset and cables than my TM-281a.

    They are really comfortable. Made a few 500+ mile trips in them and felt fine.

    I know it's a lot of money BUT unless I have another truck lined up to buy then I don't really care to sell it.

    See the below truck, offered at less than people are offering you. Your truck with an Engage kit and Defined Rear for 25k is a dream come true to you being the seller. I don't think most people would start that high if they wanted to sell the truck. Luckily you have the power of Instagram. You have people that have taken amazing pictures for you and idiots fall in love with the idea of them being able to huck a truck in Pismo lol

    Sensors are airbag sensors. I don't have any airbags in the truck now. So I deal by putting a piece of electric tape over the led indicator light.
