    So, what Ham radio do you recommend? So after reading all of these posts, what is "the" best recommendation for a Ham radio and antenna setup? And, for you all with Ham radios, do you run a CB radio as well? For the Ham radios, give three (3) of your top pics. Thanks :)

    Would the Transformer bumper or grill guards, as shown in the second picture, withstand a low-impact deer collision? We're looking for something that will withstand an impact or at least crumple enough to minimize damage on the front clip. Thanks for the reply! :)

    BEST BUMPER & WINCH COMBO FOR 1/2-ton CHEVY/GMC Z-71 4x4 ?

    'Very nice bumpers! Actually, they're the best I've seen for this model, especially because they make a rear bumper that matches. Is your truck a 1/2-ton or 3/4-ton? What size of lights did you install on the front bumper? Did you use the stock (factory) fog light switch and connectors to...

    33" versus 31" COMPARISON PICTURES

    Have you thought about upgrading your tires to a taller size? I read many posts about replacing stock tires with 33" ones, and I thought it would be interesting and perhaps useful to some to actually show a good comparison. What we have on your left is an FJ40 Land Cruiser with 33x9.5x15s next...

    SOURCES FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS - QUICK CONNECTS / DISCONNECTS ?

    We need to make our own wiring harness, so to speak, for the radio/amp/CB/Ham/12VDC outlets in our FJ40. We had everything wired to an overhead shelf, but we needed to remove everything in order to make some repairs and ended up having to cut several wires. What are some good sources to make...

    Show your leveling jacks

    You can't really adjust a RTT when it's mounted because the weight is 100+ pounds. You could if you removed the tent, but it's usually a two man job.

    BEST BUMPER & WINCH COMBO FOR 1/2-ton CHEVY/GMC Z-71 4x4 ?

    No, we haven't decided on one yet. Would you mind posting pictures of your setup if you have any? We're thinking about a rear bumper too, just to protect the rear end from the all-too-common unaware texting driver. The ARB bumper for the Chevrolet looks all right in the few pictures I've...

    It looks like ARB makes a nice bumper for the Chevrolet/GMC trucks. http://www.arbusa.com/Vehicle/2001-chevrolet-silverado-1500.aspx It looks great and has spaces cut out for the fog lights. What's a good place to purchase ARB bumpers?
