Nefarious Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Started to come up with a design for my rear shelving/sub box/water tap/storage setup for the back of my path. Going to try and integrate it all together to make functional storage setup in the rear while still leaving the center of the truck open for sleeping. Even going to mount a 12v coffee maker and use a sure Flo pump setup to a tap at the back with on board water storage. big plans... but first I must build the structure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xterra Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 What rust converter product did you use? I used Plasti-Kote brand that I picked it up from Amazon. Added it to another order to get free shipping. It did take quite a while to cure, though - at least 4 hours (not the 1 hour that it said on the bottle). I waited overnight before applying the bed liner just to be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyC Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Fired her up for the first time in a year, cranked first time. She got a new timing belt, water pump, belts, full tune. Then a good wash, cut all new mats out of commercial walk off mat material. Very happy she's running again!' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Swapped out the leaky washer pump and put the summer wheels back on. Nice to be able to trust the speedo again. I discovered by following a friend's rig that my snow tires make 60 read as 70 on my speedo. I expected a change with the smaller tires, but that much change surprised me.

GreenMachine96 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Early morning fix. Broke my magnetic cb antenna. On the roof so now I installed a firestik mount on rear and picked up 4ft firestik. My question is does this need to be grounded or Is the mount become ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissanland Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Mount will ground itself if you have it screwed into metal, however you will find that the c.b. will have a much better swr reading and stronger signal if you do ground the mount. What kinda c.b. do you run? Myself run a galaxy dx959 with standard and upper/lower side band's for a total of 120 channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flnl Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Plastic welded the steering wheel column cover. Hope it works. It didn't. Broke again Edited March 19, 2015 by flnl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first c.b. radio as a truck driver was a cobra 19. Great little work horse. Good idea to get it p/t will get better performance. Just a FYI that radio has smaller crystals than most, might be able to get a few extra watts. Probably get 6-8 whereas a bigger one you could get upwards of 20 watts. Hope you have fun with it. Being up in the mountains you can get some fun skipping action on clear nights. I was talking to a guy in California while I was on top of Loveland pass in colordo last week 11000 ft level.

So hopefully this we be a great starter radio. Eventually Ill graduate to something more when the time comes. 6-8watts would be the max huh. They guy doing said 10-12. How can I be sure?

How can I be sure? wow if he can get that much he maybe upgrading the crystal or power module. Just ask to see it on the meter along with the swr reading. Lower the number the better for swr 0-2 at max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
