Congrats - did it stay local or is it migrating south? Wondering if it's going to show up at a Coastal Cruiser meeting...

Or Canada… :(

Jason's business: http://www.cruisinoffroad.com He does super nice work, I have his bumpers, sliders, and skid plates on both my Cruisers. Highly recommended. Obvious disclosure - he's my friend... my friend that builds really nice stuff :D

Bob, the antenna is mounted at the base of that mount, and only supported around the mast with delrin: There is no steel wrapped around the antenna. FWIW I asked Scorpion Ron about the mount, he said it looked great and to make sure to not paint the backs of the bolt holes so it would bond...

This is a mount my friend jason @ Cruisin' Off Road built for my BJ74. It bolted to the factory holes for the stock spare tire carrier and held a Scorpion screwdriver. I've since added an HDJ81 which will be the long haul wheeler, so will have to try to adapt the mount to the bumper-mount...

A rare sighting of my BJ74 and HDJ81 both clean at the same time :D

Yes they are. Need a 1.5" spacer to clear them, unfortunately.

Sweet piggie Scrapdaddy!

Mine's been a track bike hauler this year. It's far from ideal, but it did the job. I'm buying a dedicated trailer for the bike, so I can get back to building the 101 as a camp trailer.

biggoolies, is there a build thread for your truck anywhere? I am intrigued!

I have the dual band Larson NMO 2/70 with a spring, it's taken a serious beating and never been a problem… except for that one and only time I ran the truck through a car wash. That didn't end well. The radio is just a Yaesu FT8800 bolted to the centre console. I've been "planning" the HF...

Wow, very cool! Threads like this are why I've never done a build thread... too boring by comparison!

Hmmm, not ringing any bells. How long ago would they have been around? I've been a member for close to 18 years, I think.

FWIW, my steel lid weighs in around 90 lbs. A couple of my friends have aluminum lids and IIRC they come in around 60 lbs. Substantial, but wasn't a deal breaker for me.

Bah, with my steel lid and Technitop RTT I can't lift the lid myself. But I AM old and weak ;)

10 Mountain House dehydrated meals, then fill that fridge with Polygamy Porter! (I need to get back to Utah soon, my stash is getting low...!)

Strutwise? http://www.strutwise.com Several of our local guys are running his custom struts on their 101s w/ lids and RTTs. They work great... not cheap though. I need to get my trailer out to him for a set soon.

I really like having a tailgate. Mine was cut leaving the top bar intact for structural rigidity.
