North AL Burgers, Boggers, and Modders Meet!!

^^ I think our next mod meet needs to be held at your shop.

 

you do realize that on your first mod meet your job is to MEET not MOD right?????? if you wanna shout out pointers great but we arent gonna put you to work and we arent gonna let others either.

 

^^ This is true! We are there to help each other, but for the most part, people will be doing most of the wrench turning themselves. We're just there to lend a hand if needed and to walk people through things that we have done already.

I'm sure your input on different things will be greatly appreciated though.

 

I could supervise.

 

is this going to be mostly wheeling if it is i'll bring the 1st gen if not i would have to ride with somebody offroad.

 

Just put my order in for a Uniden 880, 4' firestick, 18' cable, mount and PA speaker. I hope it makes it by Friday. Paid extra for faster shipping.

I'm probably going to cancel my trailer harness/bumper install if this comes in. Bill Penney has ordered me a new one since I cracked the old one. Plus, Kyle can list it in the next mod meet that this is the 5th time I have said I would move it.

 

We are going to have quite a few lifts going on and wiring for various things. I think Kyle and I will go and recon the trail Friday. But who knows. We will report what we find and I might throw a quick GoPro up of the place.

 

funny you mention the fact taht you just ordered a cb........ this is what i just got, ships out tom. have a feeling it wont make it in time but my fingers are still gonna be crossed!!!

Nice, I've never seen that radio, but I dig the look of it.

What kind of mount did you get for the antenna?

What is funny is that 3 of the pictures show a tacomaworld sticker. I will probably start with this mount position, but may change it depending on how well the ground works.

 

It won't be that much off-roading.. If any.. Maybe for most just photo op off-roading! LOL!

LOL! I'll list it for you!

GoPro FTW!! We'll definitely go Friday! I'll have to clean my truck out before then and I might use your help putting my tool box back in my truck.. What time do you want to go Friday?

 

Right on. We'll see how it tunes up there. The Relentless Fab mount that puts it up on the hood gets a lot more metal under it to work as a ground plane. If you take some braid and bond the hood to the firewall / fenders then you'll get an even better ground.

There's a lot of physics, but basically a "ground wire" doesn't do jack for RF grounding. Electrical currents at radio frequency don't behave the same way DC does, so if you've got continuity on a meter it doesn't necessarily mean that it will work as a ground plane.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade. It may end up working fine. Although CB isn't an FM mode, I still like the phrase. "It's FM. F'ing magic." lol

Well I guess it was not meant for me to go. Truck is prob. totaled.

 

well if you get everything settled to where you can get away for a day and relax tell jo to take his butt by your house and pick you up. if he doesnt the just go get travis' truck...... i hear he is gonna be out of town that weekend. i mean whats the worst that can happen if you get his truck????? it gets hydrolocked?????

























































to soon?

 

Haha!! Might just see if Jo would let me ride.

 

What happened man?

 

He caught my disease. If you need any help hollar at me. I've just been through it all.

 

well im not sure if im going to be able to make it after all. Baseball is going to last until at least 1 so it probably wouldnt be worth it to drive up after that.

 

Some chick ran a stop sign. and end result is probably a totaled truck.

 

well they are dropping like flies now.
