Just left Hungry Valley, met up with Land Ops and hit some trails so much fun! 
I have one of those for sale. $80. Same radio i have in my Toyota. I'm pretty happy with it. I tuned mine myself.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.

Dunno, just be forewarned that the prices on these things are stupid. Not like a USGI fuel can or anything, I know supply and demand helps to dictate price but man $50 for a little tank.
Hard to get a size comparison so I uploaded these as well. It between the common 20lb BBQ tank and the 1lb coleman tank.

I like those little tanks but the 1lbers pack really well and are cheap. So far I have done alright with those. I suppose the larger tank does hold 10x more?

Finished and installed my new skid plates over the weekend.
What material did you use? Did you just drill and tap the cross members? I have plans to do something similar (if not as comprehensive as your setup), but I keep going back and forth on what I want to use.
I replaced my fog lamps this weekend. I also fixed/improved the wiring for my radios. Finally I built a bracket to hold the TrailToys NSA switch box.
and for the wiring improvements. These 4awg wires and fuses were too long, and just floating in the void behind the factory fuse box.
No pictures of the NSA bracket yet. I'll take them at lunch time today.

The first skid plate you see in that pic is part of the Rancho lift and attaches to the cross member that holds the front diff. The next two sections are what I made. I used 3/16" steel and put 1/4" x 1 1/2" "ribs" on the top side for extra strength. Most of the mounting points were already there for the optional factory UCP (under carriage protection) that I was using. I did drill and tap 3 of the mounting holes though. There is more info in my build thread.

I was surprised when I looked at the pic, almost looks like installed chrome skid plates.
Did more of my Trail Toys NSA installation today.
Whole lot of spare wire looped next to the battery for now. (6 circuits worth.)
Also temporarily took the 12v fuse from my radios to power the NSA. My circuit breaker should arrive on Wednesday.
Also installed CBI Ditch Light Brackets, and Black Oak 40w ditch light pods.

Installed HeftyFabworks front steel bumper with Superwinch Talon 12.5sr and Rigid D2 DOT fog lights.
This was the most complicated(read PITA) instal I ever did. The bumper is heavy around 225 add 70 lbs winch to it and it gets tricky.
Also I needed to relocate the solenoid for the winch and windshield washer reservoir.
Because I have the ARB compressor mounted in the back P/S I was unable to relocate the air pump therefore unable to instal expedition one windshield washer reservoir. I need to make a trip to @Bandi to see if we can mount the air pump under the compressor in order to be able to relocate the reservoir.
