yes it takes a different cable due to the frequency it operates on. I left the cable and antenna on the back and likely will remove those after the wheeling seasonDid you have to change out your CB Coax?

why would I do that?Why not use one of the Ham radios like btech or baofeng or anytone which can tx and rx on gmrs, frs, and ham? I know the first two do have lower power limits, but it seems like a single unit would be convenient
Ah fair enough. I had not thought about APRSwhy would I do that?
I want to work both Radios. My HAM is a dual and the second channel is for APRS. I just replaced the CB with the FRS/GMRS. I am use to working two radios on trail runs
On the runs I lead, I talked to the Gunner and few others on HAM and used the FRS radio to chat with the group. Plus I chatted on the HAM with folks on other trails
There was one person on the trail who had the setup you mentioned and he had to change to switch from HAM to FRS and back
Besides, I believe that isnt fully legal
Thanks for that, but I haven't made any build updates. Everything is working as it should. I'll just post a couple of pictures from some runs since last MayThis thread needs more updates!
What a great build... I've been going through this thread! Can't find where or what the new grill is? Last page had the traditional 200 series grill then the new one is now in the pictures. Thanks!Time for an update. The build has been awesome, just some minor tweaking

I joined the Black Grill Club
And I modified my front skid plate to make oil changes easier. The Fumuto on the Oil drain was awesome and I replaced the filetr cap with Brian's new Cap. I discussed it in this thread and Brians new Oil filter Performance Cap can be found here
Romer, Been rummaging through your archives as I am getting ready to get trigger happy on my 2016 200. As you have had the ARB and Slee rear bumpers for substantial amounts of time at this point - what are the pros and cons of each? Which would you buy today and what was the deciding factor? TIAIll check my archives when I get home. I took the Gobi ladder off as I am having my ARB rear bumper replaced with a Slee Rear bumper.

I agree. That is what I had on my 80 and 100 series. The only reason I bought the ARB was Christo was in a long testing period making sure the design was bullet proof and I didnt want to wait. Silly meAfter living with a set of Slee bumpers for 19 years, albeit not on a 200, I wouldn't have anything else.
It’s definitely the direction I’m leaning. It’s just a large dollar sign to get comfortable with and still have to pay for the jerry can holder and accessories. One of the things I like about it tho is the “modular” system of being able to bolt new things right on.After living with a set of Slee bumpers for 19 years, albeit not on a 200, I wouldn't have anything else.
