    My Little brother bought me one of these Allpro Door hinge CB antenna mounts for Christmas. Since I gave my old Cobra 75wx to my dad for his FJ I'll be ordering up another one. Lucky for me Firestik is local and I will go over there once I have everything and pick up their antenna kits.

    Also got my bumper caps on finally after them sitting in the garage for a month. I'll get a better picture of them this weekend. When I go Wheeling.

    All in all still loving the FJ and get compliments on it often. Mostly from middle aged men with families lol Quite the change from the 18-25 year old Bros with the last truck.

    Today I hit 70k miles. I have put 5k on it since I have bought it. I need to do an oil change.

    Going out of town this weekend to Colorado but when I get back I am going to install my CB stuff and get the ARB fridge all prewired. I am looking into using one of those Skygear fuse boxes.

    I also met the guy that will be powder coating my wheels and I need to figure out what day works to have it on jack stands.

    Going to be testing out the fridge here in about two weeks. I am heading to Bryce Canyon, Zion and the Pink dunes in southern Utah.

    Thanks Man!

    I have a compressor right now but would like to do CO2 at some point. I usually can fill up close enough to where I go out to not need one. Just depends. I would love the ARB twin compressor but I can't justify the cash for something I won't use that often.

    Gotcha, I actually was looking at someone elses pic they posted in here and saw his powertank setup. I just ordered a Co2 tank from instant air supply, they have a good group buy deal for full setups and choice of powdercoat right meow :cool:
