grommets.... :)

Mirage amp installed, Alpha Delta Coax switch, pre ran my coax to my adventure rack. The coax passes through the truck cab on the rear drivers side . I drilled holes in the cab and sealed with some specialty grommets.

I finished (90% done) the como box / antenna storage for the truck. I still need to finish the seal and locking mech. for the door (hopefully tomorrow). The storage box also has the base for the long range antenna built into it. We also stared installing the Mirage 200 watt VHF/UHF amp and all...

That looks like a lot of work for sure. How did the bed sides attach? Epoxy?

I won't ever run anything smaller than a 40 on my truck. The AEV high mark fender flares make a 40 look normal.

Yup, I think 20K is a fair number. I would have loved to get 30K, but honestly, they are a specialty tire. I figure its just the price I pay to have a great overland tire.... Gotta trade something for traction, durability, easy to balance, smooth on the road ---- tradeoff, noisy, heavy and...

Progress today on the Antenna storage box. 4" wide x 6"tall x 72" long. All out of aluminum to keep the weight down to a minimum. Monday we will finish building the access door and move on to the aluminum storage box that will sit between the RTT and the cab of the truck. The Antenna box will...

I need some of these for my Conti. MPT 81s................. were did you get them from?

The rack is built by Nemesis Ind. for Diesel Power Products. I believe DPP is the only distributor at this point. I talked to the owner of Nemesis today, he said they do have a model for the 5'7" 1500 truck bed in both short or tall, narrow or wide. At this point the only option outside of...

Spent the day at Nemesis Ind. Going to pick up supplies tomorrow to build the antenna storage and mount for the antenna base. It will all bolt the my new aluminum adventure rack. We will be using 4x6" aluminum tubing 1/4" wall for the main stage box for the antenna base extensions and long...

Trust me, I get that. Personally, I won't do it for anyone outside of my family unless its absolutely necessary, but if it is necessary, well, I have answered to the man per say in the past for doing it.

Yes, you absolutely do. I went online (with some help from members of the forum), did the paperwork and paid my $70. to get the GMRS / FRS side of it done ( WRCT279 ). Started studying and will take my Ham test this month. Their are some technicalities when it comes to operating on the...

I like it because I can monitor 2 channels at the same time, Im getting older so the large remote screen is a plus, touch screen is nice, it was Mars Mod'able so now it'll do all the way down to FRS, it has 3 separate power settings so if I run it on an FRS freak or want to use it for trail coms...

I picked it up from Ham Radio Outlet (manager is a marine and we had a good talk). They also gave me a good discount, really nice guys at the Denver store.

Goodies for the overland truck. I bought my own radio instead of using the free Kenwood. Icom ID 5100A (with the mars mod) Alpha Delta Coax switch Bought a decent mount to place the detachable head unit on the dash were it can be accessed easily. Diamond Antenna coax and base for the small...

PM sent.

Thank you. the wheels are black rhino armory wheels in the 20x9 flavor.The Conti. MPT 81s really need a 10-11 inch wide wheel though to get a proper contact patch on the ground. I have been thinking about pulling the wheels and sending them off to get machined and have bead lock rings added to...

I think he is running 42s". I really like this winch mount idea, I took a long look at Coopers (DPP) rear winch mount on Howitzer as well, but I prefer the fairlead to sit behind the license plate.

And you sir have shown how much I realy on people who are smarter than me. ;) I still have a lot to learn when it comes to vehicle based coms. You are correct, its a switch not a splitter. Kenwood TK-7150 VHF radio (because it is free to me) Tram 1491 antenna (for the base camp) Comet...

The long range base / mast will be mounted right behind the uprights for the awning on the passenger side ( Sit between the uprights and the RTT ). We are going to build a folding mech. for it, so in transit it will lay down / fold down and be secured to the rack. The mobile antenna for just...
