Thats a METT-T item ;)

And the last bit. And people wonder why I drive a full size pickup. Oxygen Kit Contera O2 Caddy O2 tank Jumbo-D Aluminum Regulator BVM Airway Roll BAAM Batteries AA lithium 4's Bite stick ET Tube 4 mm uncuffed ET Tube 5mm uncuffed ET Tube 6 mm uncuffed ET Tube 7.5mm cuffed ET Tube...

The list was about twice what the board would take - here's part two: Bug-Out Bag (master list for the two separate bags for my wife and I, mine is normally in the vehicle but some items may seem duplicated or inappropriate) **Kifaru E&E Multicam (both) **Kifaru EMR Multicam (mine)...

This is whats more or less normally in my F250 PSD. Next time I refresh everything (around daylight savings time) I really should take pictures. Checking and repacking everything is a multi-day evolution, taking pictures will probably add another day to it. BTW, having detailed...

That coil (loading coil) is designed to make the antenna electrically longer - a 1/4 wave for typical CB frequencies is around 9' long and by winding the signal around a bit the antenna 'looks' long to the radio signal. (This is a oversimplification but gets the point across, I think). Move it...

I've got 4 diesels .. an MBZ 300D, a 300SD, a 2002 Excursion, and a 2009 PSD F350.... I've never gotten any of them stuck. The last vehicle I got stuck was my (gas) Yukon

Nice job! Good call on the CB, too

That bit with the recessed screw sounds like the adjustment, and I'd get the inline meter... Cheers!

You adjust the antenna length to adjust SWR (normally)...by moving the antenna element (unless it's a long whip on a ball mount) up and down just a bit in the socket it rides in. Th meter should have two sockets on it, and is inserted into the antenna feed line. You may need a short jumper of...

I'm probably wrong but I think all the suspension items are the same as on M38 jeeps, which means they're the same as CJ-3's?

Is your vehicle negative earth? If not, don't install that radio!

The very finest radio chest harnesses I've ever seen (and the ones I purchase for myself) are from Conterra: http://www.conterra-inc.com/index.php?cPath=10 They are adjustable for different sized radios. Since the Vx-8 is on the very small side a small block of foam underneath as a spacer...

IIRC Vasque sells (sold?) boots with an assortment of insoles that adjusted the size quite a bit...

And of course, buy a few extra mantles and toss them in the bottom of the case. I have a double-mantle lantern that I keep in the Coleman made case (with a holder for a filter/funnel) and it seems that the mantles break anyway.

Good luck! And buy some extra (cheap) connectors and find some cheap coax, and practice soldering on them. Also, don't forget that the PL-259s are sized for the coax you are using, get the right size. There are also vinyl boots that you can put on to act as strain relief.

That will work - some radios come that way. If you use a typical NMO type antenna base, you can most likely just cut a piece of the cable off and put the connectors on it - I've rarely felt they shorted me on coax. However, installing an SO-239 cable connectors (the other end of a PL-259)...

Depending on the antenna you are using, the antenna base probably already has quality cable attached at the base, and a quality connector ready to solder on the other end. Larsen and Motorola (brand) antenna bases all do. If you're going to use a ball mount you will need to build the cable...

Chalula hot sauce - everything else we make from scratch. My favorite salad dressing is lemon juice, olive oil and lots of garlic. It also works wonders at keeping vampires away. We make barbeque sauce with a base of whatever plain sauce (KC or Kraft or whatever) and add more garlic, maybe...

FWIW, I've had good results with Yaesu factory service.....reasonable prices for out of warranty work, and FAST. Almost as good as Icom, way the heck better than Kenwood (amazingly expensive AND slow).

A friend of mine had one just like that - on a Dodge 3/4 ton. He got a lot of use out of it, then sold it to another friend with a Chevy....they take a lot of abuse and keep on going. Good luck!
