I have a 24V truck but have a dedicated 12V battery with it's own charger. I run all my 12V electrics (ham and cb radios, stereo deck and amp, 12V power ports) off the 12V, powered through a Rigrunner. Anderson Powerpoles on everything, plug and play works great.

Animal strikes are my biggest worry with night riding. I usually try to be off the road by dusk on a trip. When I'm not, the amount of deer I see take the fun right out of it.

Only a handful of the guys I wheel with have their ham licenses, so i'm stuck with both for the foreseeable future.

I use the Larsen NMO 2/70 with a spring at the base of the whip. Never a problem with trees, brush, etc. Cut the whip the equivalent length of the spring and away you go.

4 qt is a very useful size.

Looks like the fairlead rollers have arrived in WA already. Thanks!

pm on the rollers...

The military in Bangladesh gets the cool stuff...

I've had thoughts of a 4BD1-T in a cheap 80 since driving my Dad's Tahoe transplant. There's a lot to like about that motor, not the least of which is how cheap they are to buy and (re)build. Bet it would be great in a mine truck.

wheels and tires are in their new canadian home - thanks Mike, wish you had 4 more of them! and *bump* for you..

I've been happy with my VX-6R. I don't have much experience with other HTs to compare it with though. I use the mobile far more than the HT, but it's nice to have.

Cool, I'll take the Cruiser wheels - pm sent.

16"?

Which Land Cruiser are the wheels off? Alloy or steel, 15" or 16"?

Very nice!!

Any idea why?

The Nifty manuals are very handy to have in the rig: http://www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-008434

Very cool product, I really like mine!

I have the poly hose - it's nice. Small, pliable and light, rated to -40. Seems just fine, though I don't have any routed under the truck or under the hood.
