Yall need to get off the silly CB and move onto a real radio. I love my 2m rig. The quality is SO much clearer. However I do have that skinny uniden that everyone seems to run. However I accidently left the bracket in the truck. So now I need a bracket for it.

Yeah, I realized that.... could be better if the antenna bracket was grounded to something else other than the tailgate. I used a digital volt meter to verify. I may run a ground wire from the chassis to the antenna mount instead of relying on the tailgate ground.

But since my 4' antenna read the same and it worked the last trail ride, I may leave it alone for now....

But you are more than welcome to look at it on SUnday.

BTW: I have a brake bleeder kit, no need to bring one.

Thought I recognized them as one of the ProComp series - they looked good with that blue.

So it looks like I'll still be keeping the Destination MT and MTZ's on my short list.
what about Nitto Mud Grapplers? Thats the direction Im headed.

Awesome looking tires, but for a daily driver? Maybe okay, I haven't done a lot of research on them.

Dennis I'm also strongly considering the Destinations. Almost all reviews are positive, not to mention they have 2/32 deeper tread than most other M/T. I priced about 8 different tires at Top Line this morning and I could save about $70 per tire over the KM2. I need to make this decision today, so I can have my new shoes put on tomorrow.
