Northern Virginia Roll Call

hopefully you get it worked out! I'm terrible w/ electronics that arent plug and play. haha

 

Help me on Friday??

 

Yeah I'm not too worried about it! I'm fairly proficient with electronics to a certain degree.

I'm down. I have a dental appointment at 9am, but after that I'm free. My dog may suck your soul though.

 

last time I had a CB / ground issue, I found out about it on the trail..... I'm counting on @fatfurious2 to help me test my cb / antenna before we do another trail run this time.

 

Yeah I need to do the third brake light as well. just being lazy......

 

Are you just giving your rims a good cleaning and light sanding then priming/painting?

 

That's one of my options. Maybe matte black also. Decisions!

 

Yep! Going to clean them, wet sand them with a grit that's still TBD, wipe down with some alcohol, a light dusting of self etching primer, and some paint.

 

Do we need it for VA safety inspection?

 

You need a SWR meter. I can help you test, but I know nothing about tuning

 

yea that's why I ended up finally deciding on the TRD Pro wheels... since they are already in a matte black....

but then again.... they'd also look pretty cool powdercoated in bronze

 

Yep. I failed for no third brake light when I was living there.

 

yea, all my parts will be brand new, so I know if it doesnt work / or sounds crappy that it likely needs a better ground.... we can start with that and go from there.

 

I have one that I can give David Friday if he comes over. Regardless if the parts are new, something can be installed incorrectly (I speak from personal experience) and can spike the SWR wayyyy up and completely fry your CB radio, making it a paperweight.

 

If I end up getting a KB Voodoo bed rack then I want to get a brake light installed behind the "VooDoo".

 

it's pretty much all plug and play w/ no wiring. my cb plugs into the cigarette lighter... and the antenna runs into it and plugs in... so hopefully the installation goes smoothly.

 

Yes ... but if you take to one of those Korean-owned places you will probably pass without it.

 

What kind of antenna and antenna mount?

 

I have a place in mind. Its next to Micro Center in fairfax.

I think im going to go soon. I don't want to wait until last minute

 

Oh im coming. You have my number. Text me your address
