So If i link the below mods that means I already have them ordered or know that they are paid for. If I list them that is in the schedule to be bought barring an emergency (I have $290 budget monthly). I will be buying my bumpers and likely skids in October when I receive my bonus installment. Randomly throughout that timeframe I will spend some money here and there on items like quick fists to mount/attach items. As soon as I get the rack I will be buying 6 so I can attach hi lift/shovel/axe. I have so many other things I want to do, but the items listed below are to try and get me trail worthy and going asap.
Let me know what you think, and where I may be able to go to get more trail worthy, but still being able to daily drive if I have to especially in the winter. (remember I am on a budget!)

I love my PA, just don't get to use it enough. Comes in handy when some D-Bag is rambling away on his cell phone while driving.

Nice...where you mounting the Fire Stik??
-
There is a perfect place where the hatch opens on the top passenger side. Hatch opening and closing doesnt hit the mount, but the PL-259 does not fit where i want it to... So ill be grabbing a new cable tomorrow when I go buy the 50" of metal to mount the CB above the rear view mirror.

Updated, installed CB, Shackles, CB antenna etc...

So, CB works now... Althought I am new to this stuff so i dont know how well. I followed the users manual and i can hear some people and understand them. I can understand all the weather channels. Its not perfectly clear like a radio but i dont know if it should be. I guess the next time im at a meet of some sort Ill have to get someone with more experience to listen in and see if it can be tuned more.
Calibration said as long as SWR on channel 1 and 40 are blow 3 I am good. Its below 1 on channel 1 and at 2 on channel 40. So i guess its working for now, and the built in antenna check says everything is good power coming in and going out. So as far as i can tell... Its alive!!!
Break Break...
Next step tires this next weekend. Then onboard air next month. After that next step is sliders.

Used the wifes "heat gun" to do melt mod today expecting tires in the next couple of days. I guess the sale starts tomorrow so hopefully I go in after work and get them.

Love the tube bumper! I like the double tube you have going. Looks really clean.
-
looks very clean, Rich....hope to see you out on the trails soon!
-
Its the XTFab bumper. However it took a little extra work, it wasnt directly bolt on i had to extend some holes. I think there are very slight variations from the 05 to the 08 or whatever he used to design it. After the 2 month over expected time. I am happy with it. It has made my HD TJM shocks settle down a bit.
-
Well done Rich, it just keeps lookin' better and better.
-
Brian does quality work...and a nice guy to boot.
-
Sorry about the wait Rich but loving the way that bumper looks!
