Good find on KSL/Bed Mat: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218&ad=29212348&cat=&lpid=&search=tacoma&ad_cid=4

 

Good find!

 

I'm considering putting a dual battery system in my 07 Taco. Can anyone recommend a shop in the Salt Lake area capable of successfully doing a top-quality installation for a fair price?

 

Free soft topper for a second gen long bed on ksl for anyone who is interested.

 

It's pretty easy to do yourself, this is the kit that I'll be adding to my rig. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/sierra-expeditions/136373-ibs-dual-battery-kits.html or you could try Cruiser Outfitters, they do quality work.

 

What he said^^^^^^

 

But I can barely tell a Phillips from a flathead. I'll check Cruiser, thanks for the tip!

 

Alrighty I got my CB/Coax cable/Antenna ordered.

I don't feel the need for a "Quick release" for the antenna but who knows it might be convenient down the road.

.

I am unsure to how exactly I am going to mount the antenna, but I could not justify purchasing a $50 piece of metal from BAMF or Relentless Fab as a mount.
But I may not have many options?

Besides that who wants to help on the installation?

 

anyone here been to bobby's hole recently? connection between beef basin and elephant hill near moab...

 

Finally getting a CB huh??? And I got your back for the install. I even have a meter lol.

You can use just a 90deg mount. We will just need to run a grounding strap for it

What up Ben!

I know its about god damn time hah.

Hellyeah ill for sure be hittin you up for the install so I don't end up braking everything!!

 

Ha ha pretty hard to break a CB but we will get it installed no problem.

 

Never been there, but it is on the to do list.

 

haha, just installed my CB today I got lots of leftover parts if you need some, but sorry, no extra mounts, you could try radio shack...

 

I have a bamf mount and i like it. But if I were to do it again I'd go with something different.

 

07coma801 what cb did you end up getting? Also do you have any pics of where you mounted it?

 

When I have my shell off, I use a fire stick 90 degree stainless mount that I drilled the holes out just big enough to get a bolt though for the bed track. I think it was like 10 bucks at a truck stop. I'll try and post a picture
