The 2020 Annual Citrus Meet!

K, thanks. The Cobra 25 in the OGT is a 1990 year model, the one I'm putting in the T4R is a 1995, though it's been modified with a rgr beep board and was supposedly peaked and tuned. It's either got a bad speaker, which I'll find out because I'm getting an external speaker with Talk-back for it, or it was poorly tuned because incoming transmissions sound a bit like Charlie Brown's teacher and are hard to understand sometimes. Also, although all the experts say it's impossible, when I swap this one for the one in the OGT, the SWRs go way up without any changes to the antenna, just unplug one radio and plug the other one in (same power source, gnd, and coax) and the SWRs change. Those old school radios really last. I heard that the ones I have might have been made for Cobra by Uniden, re-branded copies of the 68 I guess. If I get a new one, it will be a Uniden 68...if I can avoid the temptation of the sexy piece of junk Bearcat 880. I know it's got a rep for being garbage, but it sure is pertty.

 

Idk if my truck is going to be ready for this weekend

 

Better get to work

That's no too far from a good place to visit, @Taco No Baka!

 

Hi Charles, do I need anything from you to claim the reservation. Please let me know. Thanks

 

all packed up and on my way out for tomorrow!

 

Looks like your ready for battle haha

 

If I didn't know you were in FL I would have thought it was snowing

 

Just the email really, although she has never asked us for it

 

What time can we actually get there and setup camp? Trying to figure out what time to leave

 

People usually get there around 1100 but if someone is camping there the night before their checkout is at 1300 so just beware of that. Usually it is empty on a Friday morning though

 

Right on brotha thanks.

 

Geebus, I'm cutting it close. I might have lost my cig lighter and ash tray, but I gained two functional power points, with an option for a third, if I want to put one on the passenger side of the side panels, sort of a passenger courtesy plug in if they need it, or a constant hot one if I ever need one of those. This is how far along I am thus far...





The mic is just a mock up; it's a nonfunctional one I have no idea why I haven't thrown away years ago, but it came in handy. I also robbed the mounting bracket out of the OGT. Guess the new one that's coming will take the old one's place in the OGT. Still no antenna mount, external speaker, or coax yet.

I figured out a solution to my rattling and scattering tool issue. I'm gonna get a plastic bin, put the tools on the bottom, a drop cloth over that and then my recovery gear on top of that. It ought to make that work out. Tried to do that this morning but I got all the way to Lowes and realized I left my wallet at home. Then i got all the way home and realized I hadn't for gotten it, it just fell out of my pocket between the seat and console. FML.

Have yet to put the skid back on either. Procrastination maybe.

I don't think I'm going to end up bringing any food, just maybe some gold fish crackers, soda, beer, and booze.

 

i has arrived....finally lol

lmao haha, yeah it was foggy as hell on the panhandle this morning

 

K, this is my solution to the tools and shit rattling...



I bet that sumbitch weighs at LEAST 150lbs if not more. I was worried I was gonna give myself another hernia picking it up and putting it in there.

 

Looks a lot like my solution. But yours seems a tad more cost effective. These pelicans sure are pricey.

 

Awesome, I'm gonna need that floor jack Friday.

I was debating whether to even bring my high lift. I'm not sure it has enough travel to lift the T4R high enough to take the droop out of the suspension. But then again, the three trips before I got one, someone in my group needed one and we didn't have one. Ever since I've got mine, all I've used it for was at home breaking the beads on tires to either clean the mud out or add more Air Soft Beads (turns out 9oz (1/4 Jar) of them are just about right for 265/75R16s. My 33s probably need 1/2 of a jar and my 35s will probably take a whole jar per tire. Anyway, I just know if I leave the high lift at home, I'm going to have a Need for it.
