2018 Oilburners Rally

Radio is in. Made the antenna bracket. Think it will go nicely between the bed and cab. Waiting for the cable and antenna.



It was like a time machine sitting in the seat. That’s exactly where this radio lived for years in my 88.

Have to drill for the antenna mount once it gets here so I don’t screw up.

Got my cb mounted too! It's not a permanent location, but it'll work for now.

I was very strongly considering mounting mine there but I ended up putting my fire extinguisher there so thats out. Mine will be above the mirror. Just need to find my Mic and power cable, not sure how they got seperated from the radio... I've only moved 3-4 times since I had it in a truck lol!

Its suprising how limiting a manual transmission can be when mounting a full sized cb!

That's for sure! Heck I had to turn and angle it just right to clear the shifter, lol! Eventually I want to build an overhead console to put it above the mirror.

That's my eventual plan too but for now a simple bracket will do.

That was my original plan too but it’s out of the way where it is. Obviously my radio isnt nearly as large as yours.

My list is to find and remove the corpse somewhere in my truck so I can drive it. I was using it as my daily driver while I fixed sexyminivan's AC. But now it has become unbearable

I found CBs on Amazon and think I may try to install in camper and truck for the drive to and from Rally so I can amuse my husband with rude comments (he is not much of a talker at all haha) but I am not sure how difficult they are to install.

First spouse needs to decide which vehicle he wants to drive. I think he might do the highway driving in camper and I'll park it. The clutch and shifting in my CC is worlds apart from the clutch and shifting of the TDI haha

Also is anyone bringing dogs? Looks like there is a dog park but no "day care".

We want to participate in the off site activities but trying to figure out whether or not to bring the pooches

you can get a hand held cb, there about the cost of a decent mounted cb. Mel has one and it works well. if mine acts up thats what im doing

We would have, but the cabins say they limit weight to 30lbs which means no dogs, only cats weight under 30lbs

Our ol boy is probably 80lbs or more. He's a total teddy bear, but rules is rules.

Maybe they won't notice cause she's stealthy haha

I can also bring a bunch of ground beef with traditional taco seasoning? I was trying to read every thread to see if that was assigned.

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.

Heath

Funny you say that. I think Steve prefers when he CAN'T hear me yapping ceaselessly [emoji23][emoji23] (so glad he isn't on here!)

Sounds good Danielle if you’d like to do that. I think we are doing bulk chicken fajita/taco filling. I think the plan is tentatively to do a finished compilation this weekend so we all have time to prepare.
