**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

Yeah dude. No freaking clue how water got in.. Really weird

Park it in the garage for an hour

Well, roll it into the garage

 

Can't push it uphill, hoping 24° with some sunshine will weaken Jack Frosts icey grip.

 

Put a space heater underneath if you have one that sits low enough (obviously not directly under it).

 

No Since it got lonely in my truck now you assholes have me looking at CBs. Thinking about this one since I'll probably only be using it for these events:

$247 Cobra HH 38 WX ST 4-Watt 40-Channel CB Radio

Torch the mofo

 

You could get a handheld or you can be even cooler and get the one that requires a badass antenna on your truck like the cobra 75 that I use

 

I think I am going this route with an external antenna.

MIDLAND 75-822

A handheld won't put out a very good signal, unless you adapt an external antenna. You will be like Ron Burgundy in a glass case of emotion inside your truck.

 

Here is a very basic article on CB's to get you started in the right direction.

I have the Midlands. It is a great choice. Can unhook it and toss it in the glove box when not in use if you want to. Can simply add a permanent (badass) antenna and just leave it on the truck or use a Lil Wil on the hood, ect.

 

You had the pivoting antenna mount as well, right?

 

Yep.

 

As badass as that looks, I don't have the resources to commit my truck to look like the righteous rig that is yours.

As a random weekend offroader, a handheld with external antenna is probably my best option.

 

I like that one, but don't want a permanent antenna mounted.
Found the midland on Amazon for $20 less:

$90 Midland 75-822 Handheld CB Radio & Mobile CB Radio – Walkie Talkie with 40 Channels, NOAA Weather Alerts, Long Range, Compatible with CB Antennas

LOL! Do you think a magnetic mount will suffice with a 4 mile range handheld? That's my plan as it stands.

 

you don't need a permanent. you can still get a magnet base external antenna and slip it out the back sliding glass.

That's where I'm heading, I think. Just run the antenna wire out of the top or the door or window as needed.

 

The temporary mount is likely my plan. Since I'll only get to use it when offroading with groups like this or during the zombie apocalypse, I think a temporary solution would be best.

 

I have the cobra 75 hooked up to a mag mount lil will on my roof. As you saw, it works fantastically
