Jealous.
We went topless to the dog park earlier today, but had to button back up before coming home, another rainy day in H-Town.

We've got a few rainy days coming, hopefully I can avoid them with the garage. I hate putting it all back on..

Did you get your CB installed ?

Not yet, should have it in this week though. Most of the stuff is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Woot! My radio and coax showed up today, antenna and mount should be here tomorrow or Thursday. I spent the extra couple of bucks for the Evo mount over the off brand or even the rugged ridge just to have something from Evo on the Jeep lol.

What radio did you go with? And I wanted to go with EVO, but I had an Amazon gift card I needed to use so I just went with RR. Plus it came in a kit with the footman overhead CB mount.

I went with a Uniden 520xl, I might end up hating it but you don't know until you try :thumb:
I skipped on the footmans loop mount, for now. Shopped around on pricing for everything and ended up ordering it all from Amazon. Between our Prime account and the promo AmEx is running it came out as the best deal.
I will definitely be taking a peek at your footmans loop mount set up to see if I want to relocate!

Inspired me to go topless today

I've ran it on top of the dash and then next to the gear shift close to the passenger side. These mounting spots worked okay but the CB seemed hard to hear. I don't like running an extra external speaker and the footman loop/overhead mount allows me to hear it much better. Plus it looks cool! And it's almost a must, great weather doesn't last long these days it seems so we have to take advantage of it when we can!


Sweet! Looking Good!

Thanks!! I love Billet.. It cleans up so well!

Awesome! I love the trektops!

Thank you! I am partial to it as well. :)

LoL!

With the wife recovering and finals coming up next week, I haven't even hardly had time to look at Steel!

Plus, it's been raining cats and dogs here and I've still got the top and doors off. I'd rather just leave it in the garage than take it out and put everything on! LoL! It hasn't seen the pavement since Thursday!

Pulled steel out of the garage for the first time in almost a week for some Gas and a little cruise. After this she'll spend a few more days in the garage, due to some storms coming and my laziness.
