You know some people live is places other that California and may use/need their equipment on their commute right?:wink::yum:

For multi tools the Bibury ones are unbeatable for the price: https://c.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dylAYRNiL._AC_SL1500_.jpg They are leatherman clones from expired patents, use leatherman replaceable wire cutters, the bit driver uses non proprietary bits, and the file is standard jig saw t...

Which ever type you prefer, try ones with this kind of hook. Makes them so much easier to use by your self, no more getting to the other side and your hook fell off. I have switched all mine over to this type. For storage wraps try velcro one wrap. You can get it in widths up to 4 inches and way...

Jesus, no wonder you wife wants to penny pinch. I just looked up the midland radio prices. You will be able to get mobile, HT, and upgraded antennas for both and still have money left over. Shawn

Here is my latest day trip:

Quad lock for phone case/mount and charging, bulletpoint for mounting to the truck and bulletpoint for tablet mount. Way more sleek than ram mounts, has custom vehicle specific mounts, lighter, rock solid and looks good. Shawn

No problem, I just had to buy a few of those as well :wink:

The thing you seek, click it! Shawn

Like above, get what the people you go with use. Truth be told CB is mostly dead. The only reasons that I have one in my truck is for NOAA weather alerts and the PA function. In my area I rarely hear anyone on any channel, and truckers have almost completely transitioned to uhf/vhf radios now...

Its a LEER contractor cap with barn doors. I am in the process of building a sleep platform / drawers for it. LEER DCC I got mine used for $800, it has barn doors with windows, cab side window and no side windows. If you go this route get the barn doors and wedge front, they are life...

Since you are already using CHIRP, all these freqs are already in the program. You go to the upper left hit file, then open stock config. Select the frequency list you want and click it. It will open a separate sheet for the selected config. Then just copy and paste the frequencies you want...

Also don't forget to check if the port is switched or not. As in if the port stays powered with the truck off or not. Some truck have secondary cig ports that are not switched and stay powered with the key out / truck off. Could make for a little surprise if you don't check. Shawn
