What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think it's probly doable. I did mine recently and im only 1.5" higher in front, 2" rear. Might be tight but doable. But I did use a pump for all my fluids too so that made it way easier to just lie down and feed the tube in. Would be a good idea to get a jug and pour all your pouches into one container so you don't have to juggle all them pouches around.

The manual pump from HF works great. Then theres diy pneumatic pumps you can make too. But the manual pump transfers fluid pretty dang quick. And long tubes to feed it where u need it.

 

Installed midlands gmrs tonight. Half-assedly anyways, bc I wanted to play with it. Mounted it to the rago center console panel with some R4T molle mounts and other goodies from tackform like the magnetic mic holder. Super easy to mount with all that. Just had to drill the bolt hole bigger on the radio bracket. Plugged it in to cig lighter for now but plan to hardwire it. And attached the tiny antenna to the roof to test it, which is now mounted to the console for the time being. Ha.. Still waiting on a bracket to mount the ghost antenna I purchased, to my ditch light bracket then gotta wire that up through the firewall. Will eventually move it to my roof rack when that goes on.

Im wondering now though, if I can use my long cb whip antenna I have on my 1st gen for this radio, and possibly gain even more range? Hmm.
