The Lair

That cabinet is great! I have my welding consumables and clamps in there.

 

You could get a factor55 flat link and get a flip up mount that holds the license plate over that.

 

You'll notice I didn't go with Factor 55 for what I have. Why? That one is $60 compared to what Factor 55 wants for their version. But you never know when I might get the urge to spend monies!

 

oh well not gonna pioneer this one BoBandy!

 

Yeah, All the IGhero 4runners have been using that hood mount system for some time now. It's from a company in Venezuela as I recall.

 

I mean it'll cut down on those nasty sun glares for sure! Ha

 

I knew it was going to a good home.

 

Congratulations, Randy. It will change your life... FOREVER!

 

Great price on a pair of nice handheld HAM based radios that also offer GMRS frequencies.

I suppose you have to be licensed to use these.

 

Not in the GMRS frequencies Rahl.

 

George Makes Rice Slurries?

 

See, that's all you need to get a license! Actually, that and just fill out the form on the FCC website and I think $10 and you are good for 10 years. No test is required.

 

what does GMRS stand for?

 

General Mobile Radio Service:

GMRS is allotted 30 frequency channels in the vicinity of 462 MHz and 467 MHz. They are divided into 16 main channels and 14 interstitial channels.[9]
Licensees may use the eight main 462 MHz channels for simplex communication or repeater outputs. The eight main 467 MHz channels may only be used as repeater inputs, in conjunction with the 462 MHz channels as outputs. The repeater input frequencies are exclusive to GMRS, and may only be used by licensed GMRS operators. GMRS operators are permitted to transmit at up to 50 watts, on the 16 main channels, but transmitting 1 to 5 watts is more common in practice.

The interstitial frequencies are in-between the main channels, and they may be used for simplex as long as the transmitter power output does not exceed 5 watts. The 467 MHz interstitial frequencies have a power limit of 500 milliwatts ERP, and they may only be used by hand-held portable units.

Now these radios will not communicate with FRS - Family Radio Service or CB - Citizen Band Radios. FRS and CB are the little walkie talkies like sportsman use, or Moms at the beach to check up on their husbands. CB are primarily used on the open road were there are less obstructions.

 

Installed an alignment cam delete kit today and used a tape measure and angle finder to verify my numbers. Toe is 0” and camber is +0.4° on both sides which is within specs.

Not sure on caster but I don’t really care about it. It’ll be within half a degree of what it was, which was 3°. Went on a test drive and she tracks straight as an arrow.

 

Looks great. Randys truck would look perfect

 

If you have any left I'd like to get one.

 

Does it seem like it will hold during Wheeling? I really need to get on the ball and get mine finished up.

 

Absolutely, there’s no way it won’t hold. It’s giant bolts and some 1/8” steel, there’s nowhere for it to go. The only thing that may happen is knock my steering rack and have to readjust toe but that doesn’t happen too often
