    I need to get my antennae installed on the T4R, radio reception is absolute shite unsurprisingly. And I broke the cig lighter outlet pulling the charger out so I can't charge my phone and listen to music lol. Stuck listening to crappy radio static half the time.

    You still got the back glass antenna connected?
    PO on mine didn't bother when they installed the aftermarket radio and reception probably increased 50% when I installed a joiner

    Really is a beautiful little machine. I don't know anything about them but have seen soft tops pop up at auction for very reasonable prices.

    Such a rare truck surely belongs in a museum collection.

    10 gaude mild steel

    Should see a few other pics -

    20230815_145600.jpg













    By the way, still got one jagged cut.



    However, the only suggestion one person made that I haven't looked into yet was that possibly my table movement/vibration caused the jagged cut. Remember I made a comment about that when I posted about my issue?

    So why am I believing it more now? Because at some point I moved the 4' x 4' steel sheet (few times actually), then went on to cut more parts out. Only to move it again and cut another set out.

    During one of those moves, the table must've moved just right to where it could wobble slightly? Otherwise you can see I know what I'm doing and have my shit dialed in perfectly.

    I don't think you'll find one of those in running condition anymore. I don't think they are all that impressive on the ground anyways, the inlet cones at speed gave them 70% of their thrust from all the air force fucked through them. Only 32,500lbs of thrust according to the internet. The GE90 used on the 777 put out 115,000lbs of thrust, but won't singe your beard without the afterburner.
