    I can cut you a hello kitty decal that's 30"wide for the hood.

    I'm going to come over in the middle of the night and put it on myself if you say no!

    When I got my tri-bike, it was covered in pink hello kitty tape. It only took 2 races for me to decide it wasn't the right color for me.

    I like the 90 degree microphone plug. is that an aftermarket adaptor, or the factory fitting on your cord?

    Clamshell is easy. Just get a bearing puller to remove the carrier bearings. Bearings can be put back on locker. Measure the the old carrier then shim the locker so it measures the same.

    Cut the diff mount bolt about 1/2"-3/4". Makes taking the diff out and putting it back in really easy next time you have to take it out.

    It's an aftermarket. It's the only way this setup would work on it. I can only find it in right angle.

    I was thinking a CB would be my next purchase. Looking at Cobra 75WXST. Anybody have any experience with that one?

    It's pretty straight forward. If you want we can install it in about a hour when I have some time. I am in Nebraska right now but will be back around August if you want to wait that long.

    I think I can figure it out. I should have asked where did you mount that control box.

    Edit: Never mind. I found this https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/cb-stealth-install.269067/

    I'm running one as well. It works just fine.

    I tossed mine under the center console and ran the mic cord out the side between the carpet and the plastic.
