NJ B.S. Thread

Ha I don't think that's happening anytime soon. We designed that thing to be beefy as fuck. Now I just need a winch to mount to it.

 

anyone doing anything fun this weekend?

 

Hopefully building that bed rack you designed for me with @PSU Taco85

 

so here is my final list for a low cost cb radio set up.... please let me know if anyone sees a problem with this or if you think there is a better way to do what Im trying to do.

Total comes to $205.93 shipped...

 

Order everything from right channel.... Avoid paying all that shipping... And get the firestik 2 instead of the fireflys

 

do they have the mounts that go on the hood like relentlessfab? and the Amazon (cb, fireflys, and springs) is all free shipping but ill look at right channel for them

 

The only thing youd have to order seperate is the mounts... Relentless only sells them lol. Should have specified that

 

what co-phase are you guys running with the dual antenna set-up? fire ring? or generic co-phase coax

 

I am running generic. Not sure what @V5ioV or @nj636 are running.

 

Why do you want dual antennas? The only person I know with duals is ant. You say you want a low cost set up... Don't get duals then lol.

Especially if you'll only use it while wheeling, the Wilson magnetic mount is a good option. Or drill a hole and do the roof mount Wilson 1000. I think having antennas mounted on the hood will be really annoying.

 

I've got to get my shit together with the CB department before RT.

 

Ant got rid of his after your guys first trip to MOAB... I traded him some sodas at a meet for it way back when... Now Craig has it! Lol

I could take care of that for you... Or lend a hand...

 

Guys with RTTs that leave it on year round what do you treat your cover with and what do you use to clean it?

 

Fire ring

 

idk i thought the $40 extra for a second antenna would prove worth it... I was hesitant to put one on my roof because of low hanging branches. Ill update once its installed if it becomes annoying. Like i previously stated i dont have much experience with cb radios in particular and from what I've read theres many different set ups to go with that will do what i want and hardly any way to tell which is the "best" set up. So i whipped together a set up and hopefully it works out for me...

 

also thank you for your advice, i appreciate all input

 

Dual antennae are not worth the extra money as you see no extra performance. If it's for looks then go for it haha. I got rid of mine once it flew off the mount in Moab

 

Absolutely what these guys have said. Gains on duals are almost negligible. If you want a real good antenna set-up, drill a hole in the roof, slap a Wilson 1000 in there, and bottom the whip out in the base.
