Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

It's my Daily Driver, so today it transported me and my tools to the jobsite, this weekend is clean up time, and start packing for July 4th week trip to Edgar Evans State Park here in Tennessee.

Headed up into the mountains for the day after installing a new fan clutch (Finally solving my overheating issues on long hills) and fixing my door latch 
We just got back from a week in Colorado. It was our first time there and we can't wait to go back. We ran the Alpine Loop and Ophir Pass, plus several other trails.
GS sport tube mounts and Auxbeam lights are mounted. I just need to wire them.

Had a complete antenna fail, I got tired of my mag mounts getting knocked off the roof, so I bought a pair of new antennas (firestik and tram dual band for gmrs). Tried putting them inside my softopper behind the cab, got all the holes drilled, made my cables, hooked my swr meter up to the CB and pegged it all channels. Cable is good, antenna is good, ground from the bracket is good, only thing I can guess is the signal is reflecting back into the antenna off the cab. It's a horrible spot but I just use this stuff in convoys. Anyway, back to the drawing board, lol. Finding homes for my antennas has been frustrating, wish I could do NMO's on the roof but the sunroof and rack kill that idea.

Today was about flushing the cooling system and trying to work out why the Cruiser runs a bit hot with the aircon ON.

Fitted brighter headlight bulbs to my LandCruiser, what a pain in the... Had to remove the battery on the passenger side to access the back of the headlight.

I had to repair my antenna mount on the hatch. I'm running a 102" whip cut down to 54" for 6m use on it right now. While we were in town yesterday, my wife opened the hatch and the antenna came down into the rear door jam. When my daughter closed her door, it caught the antenna and before I could say anything, my wife closed the hatch, tearing the mount of it. It took a bit of time with the vice and some pliers to get it right and I drilled an extra set of clocking marks so I could lean the antenna back a bit and hopefully keep this from happening again.

I have a 5 ft Firestik antenna on top of my Jeep which is about 7 ft tall at the top . looked up fold-down antenna mounts. It's a sleeve you pull up and then you can fold the antenna down . there not real expensive I ordered two of them. look into fold-down antenna mounts if you want to mount your antenna higher. You can probably go to your local CB shop and pick one up if not I ordered mine online. I keep my antenna folded down all the time when I'm ready to use it I folded up it locks into placeHad a complete antenna fail, I got tired of my mag mounts getting knocked off the roof, so I bought a pair of new antennas (firestik and tram dual band for gmrs).
