Tacos in St. Louis area

I actually say that everytime I see someone in a newer Mopar anything punch that Hemi......Power!!!!!

Cause I imagine that's what they are doing.

 

Definitely what @MESO is currently doing....

 

The antenna is way more important than power

 

Nagoya Antennas are what I hear are the best.

 

That’s not how antennas work lol

The best antenna is gonna depend on the use, mounting location, wavelength, etc.

if you just want vehicle to vehicle coms, gmrs is sufficient and easy. I’ve got a

$165 mxt275 micromobile® GMRS radio – 15 watts two-way radio with integrated control microphone – overland caravanning tractors – detachable external magnetic mount antenna - 8 repeater channels

mxt275

if you want long distance, you need to get a ham license and get a uhf/vhf radio which will far out perform anything else and can utilize repeaters. It has far more capabilities but there’s also a lot to learn.

for shtf, I use a garmin inreach on the iridium satellite network. You can have the best radio in the world but if there’s no one listening in range, it don’t matter your still screwed. The inreach has 100% global coverage with 2 way communication and sos to contact geos

 

LKQ has First gen Tacoma’s every once in a while. Most go to small yards and get stripped fast.

rear diffs are as follows :

 

So you use the garmin at the mall?

 

I’d wager my garmin gets more use than 90% of the “needs” in this thread.

 

Yes for handheld, I have the 15.6 inch whip for the baofeng and a couple of these different colors https://caatailantennas.com/

 

Hefty bill I would say

 

Yep. I save all my pennies to make sure I can scrape together enough to afford the $12-25 bill.

 

JT thanks for reposting that. it helps a lot! i didn't realize there were so many options. probably rethink my plans and just replace the backing plates and consider a after market diff.

 

Yeah I didn't realize there were that many options either!

 

Ahh you have the safety plan.

On top of your mobile bill which can do the same thing 99% of the time

 

What’s the problem you are looking to fix?

 

Except the 1% that counts
