    Single unified communication system for Overland Bound members

    I have the Midland mxt115 it is the last gen version of the one you mentioned. I have swapped out the factory included atenna for a Browning 5/8 over 5/8 with a Browning mag mount. My complete gmrs set up, including license, was cheaper than my cb set up and much better performance. I do have...

    Help!! CB radio install.

    Since you plan to leave the antenna off the mount till you plan to use it. I would put some kind of cap on the connector to help protect it from the elements. I don't know if there are ones made for cb. I know there are caps for nmo mounts but not sure of cb. In the past I used to use a rubber...

    New Midland MXT275 (GMRS Mobile)

    I do not have the new model but I have the last gen mxt115. The antenna included is the same from what I can tell. It is fine to start with but definitely leave much to be desired. I ended up switching it for a Browning BR-450 UHF 5/8 over 5/8 antenna and man what an improvement. I have it on a...

    Help!! CB radio install.

    It has been a while since I have looked but I believe the combo kit is the 5watt radio and slightly lower hand helds than what I ended up getting. By no means am I saying it is a bad kit. And honestly the 5 watt will probably be enough for most people. My group opted for the 15 purely since we...

    Help!! CB radio install.

    As for addapter not sure what addapter you are talking about. Are you talking about the one that plugs into the back of the radio? If so then yes. The pug would be able to be removed from the back of the radio allowing you to remove the radio with out having to undo all the wiring. If your radio...

    Help!! CB radio install.

    Ah I gotcha on the Barney style now lol. [emoji1] Hey man don't be knocking your rig because in my eyes the best rig is the one you got lol. If you only want it when ignition is on then you need to find power you can tap into that is only hot when ignition is on. You can probably find a wire...

    Tacoma EyeCatcher Tailgate Accessory

    I would have to agree with you on this point. Personally I think it is a bad move on manufactures to same a buck. I get it from business stand point but from a purely looks point of view bad move. I would say it looks 100% better with the black lettering.

    Help!! CB radio install.

    I am not sure as to what Barney style is and a quick google search did not help me in this regard. From my experience this is what I can offer. 1st you need to decide if you want the cb to have power at all times or only hot with ignition. Different strokes for different folks. My personal...

    Pwny's build codenamed "RamRod"

    Next Update comes from just a couple weeks ago and it is the first "major" build step. I finally got a camper for the truck. Found a nice (and cheap) used A.R.E. DCU unit that was speced close to what I would have ordered. I found the shell at a place called Custom Road. If you are in the San...

    Pwny's build codenamed "RamRod"

    Time to update on some progress that has been made. Some of this is has needed to be updated for a bit. Some new items ordered. First was a new window punch and seat belt cutter. Did not have one for the truck and needed to have for the o-Sh!t moment. As with most everything I am doing on the...

    F250 with Palomino Pop-Up Build

    Depending on were the truck originally came from probably to prevent rust or to repair. Especially if they had a ladderrack and hauled constantly in the wet. That would be my guess. Otherwise probably just for the look Sent from my SM-G930V using OB Talk mobile app

    AEV ram 1500 dual sport lift

    I can. Rams are not all that popular of a platform (even tho I am bias and love mine) and you add the fact that aev is not very well known (especially for ram) you have the recipe for no one knowing. Now this does not mean their product is bad. From what I have seen of the jeep and heard of the...

    Rokform with ProClip review, a Ram Mount alternative?

    Hey everyone, here is my review of the Rokform phone mounts and ProClips base. I still believe that Ram mounts are the #1 mount and still use one on my bike. The problem I have with them is when it came to installing it in my truck, I could not find a single way to make a clean install for...

    Project Vintage Adventure 1953 Dodge Power Wagon

    Very nice seems as you have some experience with the 12v. My first was a kdp that let go lol. What size fuel plate are you planning to run? I wonder with the 3200 springs and injectors if it will keep up or just get into a fuel dumping problem. I had a 0 plate and 3200 springs plus all the...

    Food Storage In Igloo KoolMate 36qt v Cooler

    Seconding what Moak said. They are not really worth it. Towards the end of my trucking career I was running teams and ended up just giving it to the guy that took over the truck didn't want to waste the space storing it. We only used it to keep things cool like drinks and stuff. Nothing that we...

    F250 with Palomino Pop-Up Build

    Very nice set up. I was looking into getting a fwc for our truck but that was let's say persuaded away from one due to no toilet (toilet inside is a must have for the wife lol). Looks like it should be a good start. Sent from my SM-G930V using OB Talk mobile app
