    Also, tested my CB again and it has to be a ground issue. I was able to tune to Ch. 9 and hear traffic! However, there was a fair amount of static so the BAMF should fix those issues! Can't wait to get it! Thanks again to Jerry for hooking it up before Moab.

    19 is the trucker channel. When I first got mine I would drive near semi's and say radio check. Then I would ask if how it sounded. If it was clear or not. Once I got the bamf bracket I was able to reach trucks pretty far away.

    You want your squelch to be as low as you can with out getting static. That makes a big difference.

    21SR LED bar has been ordered from a TW member (thanks Traviste) will be installed in between the horns and either above or below the "TOYOTA" emblem. Might even take it off. Depends!

    Went to Pete's yesterday to pick up my Pelfreybilt order!! Fresh from the deserts of Moab!! Have some painting to do this weekend! I cannot thank him enough for taking delivery from Tyler and driving them the 1300 miles home!!

    e8e3e2a5_f1ea94f68f50bdcd11d8a4dba628e44b0a1487c1.jpg

    Also, he helped me figure out why my CB was acting weird. The FireWire was not hitting a ground on the BAMF antenna mount. I got home, put a washer on the mount to get a solid ground and was working perfectly! Thanks again Pete!

    I don't do exhaust lol. But that skid would be flat in about an hour :D

    Can't wait to see this thing at night!! Still have to dial in the aim of the beam but it's pretty much set.

    Had to remove the TOYOTA emblem :( but I'm thinking of putting the Devil Horns on the satoshi to break it up a bit. Thoughts??

    Next up, I am ordering my Steelies from Wheeler's :headbang:
