Well, it wasn't today, but yesterday evening. Truck got a very chilly (46-48 degrees) wash and got all cleaned back up!

Thanks! Yeah, it's always hard moving on with a pup, but I can never imagine not having a pup around! Always love em just so much and they r just such a great part of the family!

Took the Ranger up to Ludington a few weekends back for our 3rd anniversary weekend! It was a cold and rainy weekend (Only high 30s to low 40s and drizzling most of the weekend) but we still had an awesome time exploring some two tracks and seasonal roads along with a hike through the Nordhouse...

Parked next to a cool 66 F-250 for sale I found! If I had some space I think this stuck would be awesome! Also interesting to see the size difference from a 66 F-250 to a 19 Ranger!

Hahaha! Was waiting for someone to ask that question! I am not sure, either ran off or at the very least, in-law's did not take it!

Oh yeah, he is fine! Just disappointed in the damage on the Ranger!

Father-in-law's Ranger caught a deer driving home the other night...it'll be down for a bit for repairs. Not sure of the extend of the damage yet.

@WhiteLightning19 Absolutely! I had a more detailed discussion on the performance of the antennas and my setup as a whole that I have over on this CB/HAM Thread. So you can read in more details starting at post 65 there and onward! As for my experience so far, everything has been acceptable for...

Finally got my drop hitch for the Ranger! Went with the B&W Tow & Stow in a 5" Drop/5 1/2" Rise! Hitch was definitely heavier than I expected, but it is super solid and I am really happy with it! It has all 3 common ball sizes, adjusts easily with just removing the pins, and if you want...

Got 'er cleaned back up! Man does that HPR look so good! Just love this color!

Next to a whole bunch of apple and a cider mill! (Spicer's Orchard Farm in Fenton)

I was a bit worried about doing the Ram Mounts track there, but it was actually pretty simple and really liked how it turned out! However, there are a few other interesting options to consider with radios to mount as well. BuiltRight Industries makes a different type of dash tray mount for...

Check out posts 99 and 108 over on my build thread for radio locations and full setup!

Well, we still use em in most of the Jeep groups/offroad groups around here. We haven't transitioned away from the CBs yet, so it is still a necessity.

Also, here's a few links in my full build page with some more details: 99 108

Thanks! And @elvis-earl, I will see what I can do soon to get some more pics of where the wiring is run up near the dash. From the antenna mount, it is run down the back passenger side of the cab, along the back cab wall to the middle of seat, then across under the rubber floor mat and to the...

My HPR got a bit dirty this weekend!

Absolutely, that 3:1 ratio is not good for any modern radio, definitely good to note. And thanks @JonB for the pdf chart for loss. And for this reason for sure, this is why I checked SWR on the channels I run most for every day use, and they are much better with a lower SWR reading, and for...

It's just a cheaper Amazon meter, the Astatic https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VXKINA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I am definitely aware that it is not the best of meters, but an estimate somewhere in there. Just wish it would have had the ability to more easily zero...
