I have a cb in the ranger, but at this point im only planning to bring the excursion. I have several frs radios that I will bring. The kids will have fun playing with them if nothing else.

I'm actually hoping to get my cb installed before the rally. It's nice to be able to talk with the rest of the convoy whenever we travel together.
Used to just throw one on the truck for the rally and use a magnetic antenna. However, a magnetic antenna won't work on my new truck. Aluminum isn't ferrous.

next he will bring up how he can still talk to people while its running, without yelling...
If I had one of those, I’d burn the starter up in no time. Can’t hear the damn things run walking right beside them. I’d forget it was running and keep trying to start it. It’s probably too smart for that though.
We’re all just jealous Heath. Pay us no attention.

I actually did that a couple times with my old truck. Factory exhaust you couldn't tell it was running unless you tried to. Cheapo dynomax catback fixed that up quick lol!
Missy really likes that we can talk in the truck while hauling the camper now. For years.... just screams and hand signals.... like an football coach calling plays from the sidelines.
If you hit the button (no key in an ignition switch) after is it running, it will just kill it, it is pretty smart for a dang dually haul rig. Man it has a lot of buttons.

Hope to have time to mount the backup camera on the camper and wire it and the trailer tire pressure monitoring system before we head east.
Said the same thing last year.... didn't happen.

Tell me more about this backup camera you speak of.... I was working on a wireless setup but lost steam. Was considering a wired setup.
