    Best CB set-up:

    When I had my Ram, the best performing setup I ran was a Uniden PC78LTW (weather) with a Wilson 1000 mag-mount, center roof. In my experience/opinion, the Unidens seem to be better performers out of the box than the similar Cobras (29 LTD, etc.). As for compact units, I had really good results...

    Post Your Montero SPORT Pics!

    5,500-4,000 trade for my Ram. Price was on par for the location (southeast PA) and conditon. Similar SUV's (4Runners, Pathfinders, Xterras) with considerably higher mileage were more expensive. I lost a bed and heavy-duty axles but for what I was using it for it was unecessary. I've cut my fuel...

    Not a Cruiser, but here is my Redline RL-840 resto-mod. Used mainly to ride around the neighborhood with the kids:

    Post Your Montero SPORT Pics!

    Just picked up this real clean 2002 XLS on Thursday. 98k, JVC head unit, and completely stock otherwise. Plans are to drive it every day as-is and add a few odds and ends here and there, such as a small compressor, 2m radio, a bike rack and dirt. Already filled up some of the neat little...

    Yet to be named Power Wagon Build Thread

    Nice PW. I like the direction it is taking so far. Where did you get the original HMBL mount for the fogs? That's pretty darn slick!

    Windshield/Cowl Lights

    That's pretty slick, man. No better way to light the way than at line of sight I suppose. Or at least very close to it. Looking forward to seeing the finished results and your opinions on the function of them. I REALLY wish I had a shop..................or a usable garage, even.

    Good-Bye Jeep Hello Ram

    That was a sweet looking Jeep, but it's always nice to see another Ram owner pop up. Congrats on the new project.

    New guy w/ Gen2 2500

    Thanks for the kind words. I'm pretty much done with "power-adders" and am heading toward trying to get stuff done before it becomes an issue. As far as the high-top, I sold it when I swapped over to a tonnau cover because I didn't really have a safe place to keep it. And while I didn't like...

    New guy w/ Gen2 2500

    Would make sense to go with that when I get my trans serviced/shift kit installed. I'll be in touch.

    New guy w/ Gen2 2500

    Finally got the 4wd back operational. At a cost of $2,600. New carrier, ring and pinion, upper and lower ball joints, wheel bearings and u-joints. Now just waiting on snow (or a backwoods roadtrip). Also added a new Uniden PC78LTW. Next up is going to be brakes, getting started on...

    Recommendations for a good CB shop (not just seller) in DC/MD/NoVA/Southern PA?

    If you're talking about tuning the SWRs/antenna, then yes. But doing a peak/tune/receive alignment etc. is much more involved. And illegal, per the FCC.

    Recommendations for a good CB shop (not just seller) in DC/MD/NoVA/Southern PA?

    One of my drivers had his 29 LTD done up there over the summer. Excellent work and service from what he reported.

    98 1/2 Dodge 3/4 xcab diesel

    Congrats. Let me be the first to ask............... Pics? I've never really had a problem with condensation in my toppers, probably because they aren't airtight and the inside temp goes along with the outside temp. I can't really comment on whether or not it will do ok pulling the boat (I'd...

    Recommendations for a good CB shop (not just seller) in DC/MD/NoVA/Southern PA?

    Have you looked at R&R Communications in Delaware? A few of the drivers I've dealt with over the years have used them with good results. Otherwise, either mail order outfits (Sparky's, Clay's etc) or the Golden Screwdrivers of truckstops :smilies27

    Who's still running both a CB and HAM

    I run both. An AM/SSB cb and a 2 meter ht. I mostly use the cb as that is what I am most familiar and comfortable with. Plus I work with truckers and will communicate with them on the cb. As mentioned, it's very useful for traffic updates and I sometimes find the chatter entertaining. The ht has...

    Official "My name is..." "And I ride..."

    My name is Seth and I ride singletrack here in PA on hardtail and full-squish. Being a relatively broke father of two, my bikes are "budget-minded" builds from frames I found on sale and parts from donor bikes and closeouts. Been riding for over twenty years and I am FINALLY planning on taking...

    This weekend 6/25-6/26!! ARRL Field Day Event and OAUSA SummerFest

    Now that sounds like a Field Day I could get into. The ones around here are largely just setting up in a park and working different stations. I guess it depends on the type of HAMS running it. The guys here are more like the stereotypical ham "geeks" as opposed to outdoor types such as found on...
