Got the Bedrug cut up and installed in the rear. It turned out really good- definitely diggin' it. I had just enough to do not only the bed and back of the rear seat, but also enough to cut some new side panels. It's pretty nice stuff.
Here's a link.

I finally got a CB installed as well. Just gotta figure out how to tune it and what not. Feeling pro!
Kind of a dark picture, sorry.

Nice. Almost exactly how I have my CB setup with locations and what not. Did you splice the coax cable to put it through that hole? I heard you aren't supposed to do that...

Great minds!
Good question Matt. I got one of these so I could feed it through the hole. Made fishing it under the carpet and other tight spots really easy too.

Sweet product. Going to buy one. Kid of negligible with CB but how's the sound quality if you can tell vs a solid cable?

I've yet to pull it out of the garage and slap an antenna on yet, so I'm not sure. I'll let you know though.

Antenna and junk seem good. Low SWR and such and I can hear some "good old boys" hammering down the interstate.

I got some sliders welded up. Sprayed them with some hammered dark finish and they're basically the prettiest part of the truck now.

It's carb rebuild time! Ropodebo hooked me up with his old carb so I guess I'll rebuild that one.
We found out this weekend that at around 11000ft my carb starts getting very flakey; outside of an already rough idle of course. I kept us off one trail this weekend because of this and guilt dictates I get this fixed!
I did however fix the secondary vacuum engager thingy before we left and I definitely think this helped us get over many of the passes we had to make our way over this weekend.
Diaphragm holes.

Quite a bit came with this NAPA kit. Pretty sure I'll lose all the springs and everything. Curse these dumb sausage fingers!!!
Yeah no prob, rather put the carb to furthering knowledge than sitting on my shelf haha

Carb rebuilt! It idles correctly, and I can no longer smell gas while it's idling. This is what rich people must feel like! It's also muuuuuch quieter even when driving. Ballin'!
Hell yeah

Thanks again dude! Now it's time to experiment a bit with the other one.
