Thank ya!! One of my Junkyard rescues ... Needs a paint job, new Tanks, and a TON of time with the buffing wheel on the aluminum ... hard to get things done when it works every day

Got it installed and adjusted so I'm mostly happy with how it is. Need to fiddle with the swr a bit more to get it down as low as possible. I have a thing for purple..

70 out of St Louis I'm guessing?? That's a long haul for work

Oh, I don't plan to go anywhere. I bought I house and property in 2010 and moved. When I bought this place, there wasn't high speed Internet Available or anything other than Dialup. Then I started my trucking company in 2013 (hey it's almost my 10 year anniversary!) and lost mom in 2014, House...

What No Pictures?? Seriously though, congrats on the purchase I hope it treats you well for many many years to come!

I'm two exits from the ARK encounter - that's actually a massive sore point for everybody around here, built with state grants and funds, then converted ownership somehow and now they don't even want to pay for local PD to help with traffic control on the busy event days ... plus they expect all...

I used to pass by Amarillo almost 2x a week during the winter months a couple years back - Louisville, St Louis, Los Angeles Lane ... I agree it would be a bit of a haul. I can send ya back with a couple gently used Whiskey Barrels tho! LoL

That's a great story and I bet it would've been wonderfully funny to watch! A sorta similar thing happened last week with a friend I haven't seen in a number of years. She was walking with her co-worker who I'd never met. The look on the co-workers face when she gave me the biggest hug ...

My old '04 that I sold didn't come with factory cab lights (technically they're not chicken lights - those are all added lights, like under the cab, the bumper, etc etc) but I added them using factory ford parts and wire harnesses. Me and a buddy soldered two harnesses together as I mounted 7...

Before you buy new rubber, I'd check the rims. Cost of dismounting isn't much. Some shops can check the rims on their balance machines, others can't. I much prefer mounting the rim on the vehicle and mounting a dial indicator then turning the rim slowly and checking it. My dually rims have to...

Have you considered even tho those are stock rims, they might be bad? Warped/bent something along those lines? Since it seems to happen at certain speeds, I'm wondering if it isn't a very slight deformity - Maybe dismount the tires from the rims and check the rim with a dial indicator? Use the...

Think I got ya beat in the 'old' department.. First I love the upgrades and everything you've done with your superduty! Gotta keep the older ones around. Here's mine, a '97 F350 with the 7.3 powerstroke. Zero rust. The doors are junk because of dumb people, and the dually fenders have, well...

My last meal.... Velveeta shells n cheese. Being single and lazy doesn't always equate to the healthiest of choices.

I've donated a few times to the KSP - though it's always been after I received a driving award of some sort. Gotta return the favor you know, they have me an award so I gave them a donation! LOL Sorry they thought youd just magically open up the ole billfold every time they call. I hate...

Way WAY late on this but I have one of Jay's antennas and despite poor installs and some really bad weather - at one point Ice brought the antenna down and drove part of the I10k into the frozen ice covered ground more than a few inches with only a slight bend in the tube - That sucker still...

No, sadly this isn't a thread about actually doing the installation. Yet. It is however a thread to Uh Invite anybody that would like to come and help do a tower install in Central Kentucky (about 12 miles north of Lexington). No I'm not looking for folks to help dig - there's power...

It would cut out tx after one second. Had to get it down to where the radio was happy. I'll double check with my meter this weekend when i finish replacing the coax - just to be sure everything is 100% Now I'm looking at my old but still in working order foot warmer and scratching my...

It seems to be a solid radio. Not fully installed in the truck - had to swap out Wilson antennas. Couldn't get the swr down on the one that was in there. Stryker kept telling me high swr even with it only showing about 1.3. Switched antennas and it did just fine. Here's the old setup - camera...

Yeah it's a bit much ... dimmable it is, but I took that image for a friend who just LOVES green ... not really my speed in the form of color.

Picked up a new Stryker 955 for the Pete this week. Testing it in the house before taking it out to the truck. I'll post a picture/video once it's installed and working. So far I'm impressed with the RX on it. Look forward to getting some feedback on how it sounds on the air.
