ah dude thats a beautiful truck man, it's actually exactly what i want other then the bed cover. bad ass thread man

 

thanks man. ya if it didnt rain all the f-ing time here in kodiak i would take it off and only use it when camping and wat not. but when i get back to the states im gana take it off, but its so nice to have during the winter!!

 

You need anything from the motherland? I'll be doing a log flight up to K-dak 5 on the 25th

 

shit man if i would have known earlier i would have had you grab me some stuff for the truck, im in the need for some new tires badly but im going to be ordering them when i get back from barrow. but i cant really think of anything right now man thanks tho. appreciate the offer

 

LAST DAY AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD!!!!!!

 

ICON see where this is going!

 

two maybe 3 days tops!!

 

back home now!!!! cb should be in today and starting the bed platform build

 

ICON install first! hah

 

so the icons will hopefully go in this weekend but i did install the cb and started my sleeping platform build
took out the center console and ran the coax under the seat

then cut a hole big enough to fit the cb through the bottom of the console

then trimmed some of the bracket so it would fit where the change holder was and mounted the external speaker

ran the wire down the side
ran power and made a ground to a existing ground
put everything back together

just using the cuphole as a mic holder

made a bracket out of angle stainless steel i had laying around. painted it flat black after the test fit. and i rain the coax down the inside the frame and out of the left rear tail light
all closed up clears everything perfectly

 

Looks like shit...





















Just kiddingman. Looks great! I like the external speaker location, if I didn't have a manual I would've mounted it there

 

so i wasnt able to get the platform to hinge like i wanted to but it will be small enough to slide in on its side so i can fit all the decoys, ice chests and gear for hunting.
its 6 feet long by 26in wide
how it will be with all the gear in the back

now just need to go to the dump or the wood hobbyshop and get some plywood for free. oh and ya all the 2 x 4s we sources from the dump for free. this only cost me $5 for the screws.

 

did u ever tune it when u had it?

 

Was my buddies.he got good receptiok but a new swr tune couldn't hurt

 

how does one do such a thing?!?!???

 

CB install looks pretty sharp.

How's your mileage with the 285's?
