What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[tobyS]

A few questions on the antennas and specs. I know nothing of radios of any kind but i have been looking high and low for a whip for the base i have and cant find one for what i deem decent money. What i would like to do is run my cb through the whip but im unsure of the connection, operating range, will work with a civy cb?

I had a similar question and never got an answer on the radio thread.

Edit: With cell phones, is there an antenna that works with them...maybe internet?

any of the antenna will mount to the "universal" sugar scoop. The as3916 uses a metal whip so you can cut it down to any length. I had the as3900 with the 2 piece fiberglass but had problems with it hanging up on trees since I went to super singles. Actually cracked one base section. I have now have a shorter base and whip

they can be found on ebay cheaper. I picked up the same kit for $60

Thanks for the link. I've got the Christmas parade right around the corner and don't want to be rolling with just a bracket. That one looks like it will work way better at only 50". Checked the usual places and didn't see any listed. Sportsmans guide wants you to go through most of the check out process before it'll give you a shipping price. On the next to last page it gave the option for a fairly hefty discount if you accepted their free 30 day membership trial. I should have it middle of next week.

I might still make one of those MRAP jammer antennas though. This one will get me through the parade though.

Easy to make a facsimile.

M52a2 parts!!

Hey guys new to here.... we have a m52a2 that we are stripping the body and hydraulic lift 5th wheel to put an excursion body on the 6x6 drivetrain. If you guys need parts don't hesitate to ask! Body panels, dash panel, radiator, fan, steering column, all trailer parts, cab and doors... maybe more but have to tear into it to see what we need for the swap!

That's worthy of a stand-alone thread, if you care to post it.

And welcome from here in Virginia.

You pick the forum that fits best (select "Forum" on the tool bar near the top of the SS Home Page).

Then you'll see a heading something like "New Post", on the tool bar of the forum home page. You just select on that and go at it!

Let me know if I left a step out but that should do it. Oh, and I'm thinking the forum should be "Classifieds" since you're selling stuff. Can somebody please confirm that if you know?

So now any Prius is less of a problem than before:

- You just go over any; clear them entirely.

Got my antenna mounted. Perfect length for the woods and it's fairly stout as far as antennas go. It came in the biggest box ever though, which included a pallet.





Thanks for all the help to find what I needed.

 

[infidel got me]

Good thing they didn't ship you eggs-- did not want that one damaged! Antenna looks good and not scrambled.

SD, that looks real good on there!

I have the same set up on mine. I am looking for the other half of the antenna.

Looks good there. From the photo it looks like a AS-3449 EPLRS antenna. 420-450 MHz. Is it something else? Out of curiosity, what radio do you intend to use it with?

Started pulling all of my accessories off my transmission again. Bought a rebuilt one from a SS member and now just got to wait for it to show up. Hopefully have the thing on the road before Christmas and not have to do another transmission job for a long time. Three transmissions in 2 months is a lot effort.

Free shipping was part of the discount. The invoice said 2nd Day Air. It must've been packaged for air drop...

What is the other half? You got a picture? It looks complete to me.

You are correct. There won't be anything hooked up to it though. This is the first thing I've added to the truck that actually serves no useful purpose. This was strictly for the nostalgia of the truck, given its history in service.

I agree with you.

Have you been traveling recently to Haiti, or maybe New Orleans? Did somebody drop a curse on you?!
