hopefully I can track down whats wrong with the help of OB. But your problem sounds really bad! LOL

So I gave this a shot today (both with headphones and electric contact cleaner) with no changes to the loudness of the CB.

Is this really true? I'd imagine, the factory bumper will have more protection for you/passengers as it'll absorb the impact since it'll collapse. Where as a steel bumper will not collapse at all and absorb the impact of the crash, making you/passengers get directly affected by the physics of...

I've been contemplating pulling the trigger on a front and rear bumper for it's aesthetics, and more importantly, the functionality for my 4th gen 4runner. But I can't really seem to see the real worth in going that route, so I figure someone who owns a front and/or rear bumper could shed some...

I'll give this a shot and get back to you! Thanks!

I own a Cobra 19 DX IV, and I've been using it without flaws with a Midland magnetic mount Antenna. I only plug in the mic and put the antenna up on top of the roof when I go wheeling, and remove it shortly after wheeling, since I park my truck in a parking structure everyday. I'm past my...

Little bit of a dumb question.... But.. Are there any alternatives to a roof basket or a swing out tire carrier? I'm not fond of either because the hit to MPG and the cost/additional weight for a DD will be terrible respectively...

Care to share the story (here or pm) as a possible customer?

I didn't believe you at first, but googled around.... Those welds are quite scary. And it doesn't help that this happened just recently.. I couldn't find much on their history, or how it's doing now.. Do you know if they hired a new welder(if the shop owner himself doesn't weld)?

Your list looks good. It kind of looks similar to what I was going to order, but I stuck with a magnetic antenna for ease of removal and all.. That said, I recommend you get an "add-a-fuse" instead of doing the cigarette lighter, as it'll look more discrete.. Also, you aren't loosing 1 port...

Honestly, I just went CB. I know HAM is what I need, but so far, the CB has been extremely useful, especially in group outings. That said, I do plan to get HAM radio as soon.... that is, if I have enough time to go out solo.

I am planning to order a pair of Trail gear sliders for my 4th gen 4runner. Due to the fact that they need to be welded on, and I don't have a welder, does anyone know of a fab shop(welder), who can weld these sliders on once I order them, and get them, in the Sacramento area? Thanks alot!

My only complaints are 1) It's costly.. Won't I still need an antenna? 2) I've read that these aren't as great as a stand alone mic + box. What kind of mount are you running on your FJ that I see in your avatar?

So my confusion is this.. Does material of the antenna really make a difference? From what i've gathered, the materials do matter and height also factored in. But materials could totally dimish the distance.. If height is everything, then a mag mount would technically be better than a...

Insane! I'd imagine the firestick did better... Is it because the antenna is sitting higher than with the firestick?

Wow.. Sorry to hear that happened.. I actually opted to fix the car my self and get parts from pick n pull.. I figure.. The cars going to get damaged anyways when I hit the trails so I don't need a 10/10 job.

Hello all, I am planning to get a CB as I am going into remote locations that aren't picking up any cell signal. Not to mention, it would be nice to have when I go out on group outings. However, I don't plan on using it so often, so i'd like to make it A) easy to remove and put back B)...

Thank you so much @Tahoe_Overland!

Good to know! thanks!

That's not a bad idea at all. How long are the straps? Unlike your tahoe, my 4runner has a sliding up/down glass, so I'd need to loop the straps over the top of the hatch.
