    Where did you get the tank from? This is one my to-do list and I like your location. I was going to put some water tanks under there, but I may move them to the passenger side now for the OBW, which will be the next thing I tackle.

    Got it here.

    I think it's actually a Viair tank though. At least Viair was on the outside of the box it came in.

    Finally pulled the trigger on my Amazon cart and ordered all the pieces for my CB/PA install. I originally was gonna use a Uniden 880 with wireless mic, but that was gonna be a mega pain in the ass to put it where I wanted. Even the 680 was a touch too big. Went with what I knew would work and the
    $65 Uniden Pro520XL Pro Series 40-Channel CB Radio. Compact Design. ANL Switch and PA/CB Switch. 7 Watts of Audio Output and Instant Emergency Channel 9. - Black
    Uniden Pro520XL. It should all get here on Friday. With any luck work won't be crazy and I'll be able to install.

    Bro...Me and a buddy went and got portable CB's for our trucks for comms when we off-road as a group. Turns out the half of our TW guys here have portable HAM radios. FML...:mad:
    The issue was the other half of our guys are using hand-held walkie talkies, so the HAM guys could talk on their freq's, but my CB couldn't talk with the hand-helds...:( Decided to get the Yaesu...so I can talk with everyone...:)

    Yeah...I have a nice CB for sale and an antenna mount and whip antenna...:D NIB...never used in real world ops...lol I think I was premature in my decision on getting a CB. Shoulda waited and researched more. On the bright side, the CB was fairly cheap as well as the antenna and mount. Just over $100 for everything. The Yeasu was only around $85 and has more power, range and portability than all the shit I got for the CB...:( Live n learn...:)

    Well I can at least use the PA feature to yell at people so it's not a total loss I guess. The Yeasu sounds like it would not be a bad addition.

    Guys...my bad on the brand of the HAM... F'ing chinese always screws my head... It's this model:
    $63 BaoFeng BF-F8HP (UV-5R 3rd Gen) 8-Watt Dual Band Two-Way Radio (136-174MHz VHF & 400-520MHz UHF) Includes Full Kit with Large Battery
    BaoFeng BF-F8HP They carry it on Amazon and honestly, I have it in my shopping cart and haven't pulled the trigger yet...but soon. I'm not saying the CB is useless in the mainland, but here in Hawaii minimal use. I just want to be able to comm with my Off-Road group on the system that most of them are on...:D Over here HAM's..

    The compressor in the driver side of the bed. I had to trim one of the ribs for the bed out to make it sit flush but it was totally worth it. I mainly use it for airing up tires, but I like the option of if I ever decide to run lockers that it's already there.
