Ok, well... nothing went as planned, leaving very much later than I wanted to. Headed down, in about an hour, so I will see you all down there tomorrow. Early AM.
Taking 91-84-81 for the main route down. Expect to be in Arrington around 2 am... sigh.
Holy CRAP! Overland Expo is next weekend! :O
Ok, today the F-150 got it's new sneakers all the way around. The Grabber HTS tires hardly look worn at all, with almost 20k on them, BUT they are a street only tire, and I was surprised to find they were 245's NOT the recommended 265's that Ford...
So.... was looking at doing a hood mount like yours and found, yes, the 2011 F-150 had an aluminum hood. Sigh.
I am (for the sake of ease) going to put a mag mount antenna on my roof for now, and figure out a better way when I get the chance.
Awesome thread! I have always wanted to buy and fix up a used Disco, but up here, you best like 'em rusty! Following your thread now.... just for fun! :)

We WERE staying in a nice warm hotel last year..... but she is still scarping 18lbs of mud off her boots.... She gonna wait for Expo West this time....
I just saw one of these new on Craigslist locally for $20. Was seriously thinking about it since I drink more coffee then your avg human inhales oxygen. At the moment I run a single serving Keurig while in the camper, and beat to crap coffee percolator (Fareberware?) when tenting. Of course at...
Hi Everyone,
Looking for antenna suggestions for my F-150, for both my CB and 2 meter Yaesu. Here's the rub. I can't drill any holes in the roof of the rig, and I am using a slide-in truck camper. I have the space for a mag mount on the roof. But I am unsure how the camper is going to affect...
It has been getting a tad bit confusing with Trail Rigs, everyone now using GMRS in addition to CB/HAM. Personally i have a Yeasu FT-1500M in my rig (well kinda.... still working on mounting it) to work the ARES net locally, and a Yaesu 50r/Radio Shack HTX-200 for handheld comms. Adding an...
Honestly, I hadn't run into any bad reviews of the Smittybilt, but I am glad I didn't grab a pair! (Thanks!) Ordering a pair (maybe two) of the X-bull boards. I have a very thin working budget at the moment.
