Alaskan truck group

Ive basically opted for the cb lol. Maybe keep a hand held vhf in the action packer with my survival gear just incase. But ill mount the cb in the cab somewhere

 

Anyone know where to get a stubby antenna in town? My brother broke my stock antenna off with a terrible pass while playing catch with a football a few months ago. I think it's time to replace it...

 

My guess would be one of the stereo shops? Car toyz, perfectionist?

 

I ordered one online for like 15 bucks a few months back but it broke off whole i was wheeling so i went back to stock lol. Grabbed one off another toyota ina junkyard for 10 bucks

 

Where is this junk yard you speak of?

 

I just went to hilltop recycling in eagle river and they had an old tacoma from 98 probably sitting out there with the antenna on it. So i unscrewed it and screwed it into mine and it fit!!! So i bought it! Haha. Just roam
Around northwest im sure they have some old tacos in there

 

They certainly don't have any new ones. No second gens anyway.

 

No they dont. Hilltop had one but its probably good for nothing anymore. Never know though.

 

Ok is it just me or does anyone else think we should move the conversation from this thread to our new 907 thread? Its basically all the same people now so why dont we make an official post notifying the guys that this thread discussion has been moved to our new one? Then we dont have to go back and forth between them lol. Can i get a second motion? Lol

 

I think it's actually good we have two, we can make this our bs thread and keep that one for planning and future updates. Just a thought though, what does everyone else think?

 

Ya i guess that makes sense too.

 

Anybody up for a short run today? I might have time after 3

 

Oh me me! Dont get off till 5 tho. Is that cool?

 

Potentially perfect! Who else?

 

Well guess i shouldnt have made fun of yall for the temps being so nice down here. NJ declared state of emergency today for hurricane Sandy. This should be fun!

 

Yikes! Careful down there!

 

Yes I'm spamming. If it saves one life, its worth it.
