New pics/mod

Just a couple of new pics of my truck and new mod. Just the CB and (2) 3' whips.

Tell me what you think

 

i like it, but why 2?

 

i did the same thing. i thought 2 antennas would be better then one. but i don't get very good reception.

hows yours?

 

i was going to do 2 as well, but right channel radio convinced me other wise so i bought a 7 foot firestick.

 

Unless you are a big rig, 2 antennas will just hurt your reception.

 

yeah i was told 2 antennas would be worse than 1. I get great reception and distance with the 2 whips. 3-5 miles. Even through hills/trees whatever you think would break the reception but it still sounds great. couldnt be happier!

 

nice seat covers! What type is that? How does it fit? Can you post a picture of it?

 

those seat covers are the new universal "Bone Collector" seat covers. They say universal but for all the people who have a tacoma with seat covers know that tacomas have small seats so they fit alittle big but nothing to worry about.

ill post a pic of my actual seat covers when i get batteries for my camera

 

Ahh Ok.. I thought the entire bottom cover had camo print.. but it looks like only the side bolsters do.. I was looking for full camo coverage.

 

oh look at basspro.com they have everything

 

i understand that the issue with 2 antennas is that they are just too close together. kinda wishing i had only gotten one of them now.
i might do a little test and see if disconnecting one helps or hurts reception.

if it helps does anyone know if the 2nd antenna would work for the am/fm radio? or are they totally different??

cheers,

depends on what kind of antenna it is.. some antennas are cb freq. only. some arent. I tried unpluggin one to see if i got any futher distance but didnt really get any results to back up either question if 1 is better than 2..

 

how would one tell if an antenna is cb specific?

 

Well. if you still have the package for the cb antenna it might say on the back. I think firestik makes a antenna thats am/cb capable. Some one may chime in if im wrong. I would look online for am/cb compatible u may find one, i believe its firestik
