I recently got a cb radio as a gift from my wife, and i was wanting to mount the antenna to my tire carrier, i heard firestik was a good brand and i came across this bundle deal,
I was wondering if that would work to mount it on my tire carrier those mounts that are included in the package deal, i'd only want to use one antenna for now but would that be possible? With the way those mounts look?
Thanks everyone

I just put a order in for my hi-lift jack and a spare tire, my current spare is not even a spare.. lol has a slash in the middle of the tire. will post pics once i have everything installed and up. Thanks for all the help guys! if i run into any problems i will definitly post it here, btw how many pounds can the tire carriers hold?
-
Yeah exactly that's how I exactly want it!, is there any drilling or cutting? Hows the assembly process?

I was wondering about how to approach this task, im not to familiar with installing a hi lift jack on the tire carriers so any help info and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I looked at other members thread's and i really didn't see that many with the hi lift jack on the tire carrier, but i would like to mount my on the tire carrier for convenience and just because i like it better on the carrier. Also want to mount a gas tank on it aswell, but i'd do that much later. I'm going with a hi lift jack right now because i really can't afford a winch there to expensive for me at the moment and i don't have that much money to dish out to a winch so i'm taking an alternative and decided to mount a hi-lift jack up on my carrier. I found a couple sites that have them that vary in prices.

Thanks!

Welcome to npora! Glad you and your family are all ok!, I had a near death experience with my Buick , I opened the door and before I got out this driver was speeding and just came and took my door off my daughter and wife were in the car thank god they were fine. Its probably similar to what you felt!. Hope you enjoy your newer pathy!

I was just actually at sears earlier today, and i was looking into craftsman and husky tool sets i think i might go with craftsman , little more costly but they will last and won't break like you said, yeah i'm definitly looking into breaker bars ext and universals for all my car maintence needs , They have a flea market over here and i bought a big tote of tools for 20 dollars so those had some old goodies . Definitly think i'm going to go there once in a while to check to see if any new tools are up for grabs
Thanks for all the info precise!Anything with a lifetime warranty that has a store near by. Most of my stuff is Craftsman because bang for buck, it seems to be just fine and there is always a Sears nearby. I've only broken a few tools in my life, but it can be dangerous when they fail. Best to stay away from the cheap crap.
The only exception to this is perhaps things like ratchets and gear wrenches, it might be worth investing in something quality that works smoothly and feels comfortable. Get a breaker bar assortment so you don't use the ratchet for that kind of work, get plenty of extensions, universals and attachments, standard and deep dish sockets in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2" drive and put them on bars in order so you don't lose them and you have a whole set at hand.
I probably use a ratchet for 75% of things and my favorite is a Craftsman 1/2" drive patented in 1971 that someone was throwing out and i just cleaned and rebuilt. Often old tools are the best and just need some love. Always check out the bins at garage sales, etc. You never know what gems you can find...

I like the little kit/blow molded case for the pneumatic tools (keep everything in one place so things don't get lost), but it doesn't look like they will fit once you put the quick disconnect fittings on them (other than the rachet). That isn't good, you don't want to be constantly installing/removing them, that is a pointless waste of time.
Almost all tools have a working pressure rating, CFM air consumption rate, RPM/BPM and torque amount. Some info on the air ratchet (the most useful item) but no info on the others. I'd want to know more...
Same with the compressor. All things being equal that has sufficient HP and storage to drive air tools without issue, but they don't list the CFM of the compressor and that is what it is all about!
In all honesty, I hardly ever work with air tools at home. By the time I pull out the compressor, fire it up, fill the tank, pull out the air tools, and get going, I could have already been done with a manual ratchet. Then there is the noise... I've worked in machine shops for 20 years and have grown to really dislike the sound of compressors. While air tools are handy for big projects and shops, I find I really don't need them for 95% of what I do, and I'll pull motors, trannies, etc. Hand tools first is my opinion.

Yeah i was thinking that same thing, maybe it'd be a better experience for me if i just use hand tools, also less costly aswell. Got any ideas precise on a good quality mechanics set? I'll probably maybe purchase a air tool set when i get better experience and a shop lol, It'd also save me a lot of money as of now aswell .

Both of those look adequate to me, you're also going to need impact sockets, a torque wrench, a socket and ratchet set, a volt meter, some jack stands, a C-clamp and I'd also look into a corded saws-all. I don't really trust all the new lithium 18v cordless stuff out there..I know how battery charge capacity can degrade and you don't really get the level of performance you're expecting. My own setup is pretty much about the same as what your looking at. Also will need a good 2.5 ton floor jack to get er up.
With the items I named here you can do a lot of work like oil changes (easiest thing you'll do) and brake pads (c-clamp), shocks, change out wheels / tire or do a rotation (jack stands), change spark plugs, and a whole crap load more that I'm missing. Hell if you have a work space and electricity you could open yourself a little shop with this equipment and start doing all your friends work, make some extra bucks on the side.
Thats exactly what i want to do, eventually open up my own shop, i need to support my 14 month old baby and my wife, working at a peanut butter factory isnt cutting it . I want to career in automechanics, currently looking at schools right now to attend. Yeah i definitly still have to purchase jack stands still and the air tool socket set
. Tight on money though so thats why i want to get good quality stuff but at a good price. Thanks for your input!
Quick question about CB Mount
in General Forums
Posted
Yeah , I'll have to do more looking around for some better antennas, yeah pretty much id only use it for trail use and basically for convoys , I only want 1 antenna but now that you told me that I'm going to search around a bit more for a better setup for me, what about those mounts would they work and attach to the carrier? Just so id have an idea what mount id be trying to aim for
