What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

I started my Patch Game....
Installed CBI Ditch Light Brackets and one of two 40w Black Oak Pods
Moved both VHF/UHF Antennas, to the access cab doors.
And started to install my Trail Toys NSA
Still need to put the sticker on the top, fix up the mount now that I've got it mocked up, and turn the box around 180 degrees

This came in today! The rest of the stuff should be here Monday or Tuesday. Got an antenna mount for the passenger side rear (above the taillight), 3ft firestik, 18ft cable, and a HD spring mount. Hopefully I got everything I need. I'm stoked! 
I know absolutely nothing about CB, ham, etc, but I'm excited to learn! Found a study guide for the ham tech thing. I'm about halfway through it. It's pretty cool. Figured I'd start out with a plain old CB and go from there.

Get yourself an SWR meter to tune your Firestik or risk frying your radio. I did.
SWR meter with jumper
RightChannel Radios is an awesome company, check out their learning center for a lot of install tips.

Oh man thanks, I had no idea! I just looked and it says my radio has a built-in digital S/RF/CAL/SWR meter. I guess dumb luck saved me there. In the next few days I might make another thread in the CB section to ask questions in.
Well there ya go, I didn't even look closely at your radio for fear of electronic envy (as I said, mine is smoked lol)
So now, what's that meter for?

New upper and lower rear control arms and bushings. Now I don't try to change lanes every time I get on or off the gas... ☺
LOL that happens to you too. On another note I helped my buddy that went to Hollister Park and got his Bronco swamped. We changed some of his fluids but when we got to the transition everything was a nice light pink.
Speaking of which, here's that swamp this AM...
Taken just for you guys about an hour ago :-)
Its back and bigger than ever. Thanks for the pic. Next time you go let me know. Ill come by myself. Want to do more of the trails that you seem to know. All I know are the main fire roads and courses.
No more little 1lb bottles in the kit box. Dropped a little coin on a 5lb tank just like the 20 just smaller, how small. 8" diameter, 12" height. Small enough to fit into the current plano 1919 cases on the roof or the about to be new pelican 1610 cases, also fits under the X. The guy at Uhaul has never seen a 5lb bottle. He thought it was awesome for offroading as well. The guy owned a lifted XJ.
The only bad thing about the tank is the stupid price. Why does a smaller tank cost twice what a standard tank cost and is impossible to fine locally. Picked this up for $50 delivered from Amazon.Cost just over $5 to fill.

Why didn't I think of that???No more little 1lb bottles in the kit box. Dropped a little coin on a 5lb tank just like the 20 just smaller, how small. 8" diameter, 12" height.
