    Rick, Truck is amazing. I didn't see you mention which CB antenna and mount you are using. I noticed you installed it after the rack. Any info you can share?

    Thanks! I have the handheld Midland 75-822 and I hooked it up to a 3' firestick. I just made my own mount with a piece of aluminum I bought at Home Depot. I'll snap some pics later. Nothing fancy, but it worked great last weekend.

    Ok heres a couple pics of the antenna mount. It's definitely nothing fancy, just something I whipped together so I could use it for our last off road meet. I'm going to change a few things to clean it up. Worked great though.
    I have a ground wire going to the emergency cable bolt(i will change that so its not noticeable). Got the flip-down base for like $10 i think online. Thanks to Spruce Taco for showing me his design ideas and 20vmki for hooking me up with the adaptor handheld and for helping tuning it.

    Do you know what kind of gas milage you get with this thing? That much lift with those trail grapplers must be a big factor in milage. I only have 2" of lift on mine with the trail grapplers and I get about 250 miles per full tank lol, then again I'm in Alaska and we have tons of inclines on our roads

    I don't have Trail Grapplers anymore. When I went up to 35's I got MTR's. The Grapplers are great tires but they are very heavy. I get 15.2mpg(Ultra Gauge). This is actually better then I had with my 295 Grapplers(14.7).

    Hey Rick. I just ordered me a set of spec d tail lights as well and I noticed you used clear amber bulbs for your turn signals. How do you like them? Thinking about buying me a pair as well.

    I love them. I got them from superbrightleds.com . You will need to add a load resistor (or a flasher)in each one but that's super easy (and cheap) to put in. I haven't had any problems with mine since I installed probably almost a year ago.

    Thanks. Is it the same resistor from the link you provided on the led page?

    Alright. I can't wait to get those tails in. Been a while since I bought anything for the truck. Sadly. :( haha. Time to get back on it.
