but it sure took them a long time...

Dual purpose CB/FM Antenna on custom hidden mount in OE location.

I want to know how you did this!

3-WAY (AM/FM/CB) ANTENNA

Firestik AR1A - CB Antenna to AM/FM Splitter

 

[kevinmrowland]

That would be the one, Walcott CB, AR1A.
Then I made a custom bracket to hold a spring base and installed it where the OE antenna was.
I was skeptical of the splitter at first, but it actually lowers the SWR of the CB system by a considerable amount (about the same as a foot longer antenna would).

I think someone my have already mentioned that you do awesome work and have great fab skills.
You've made an expedition rig that can be packed/unpacked without great inconvenience and used as a daily driver/week end wheeler. Definitely one of the finest ROTW rigs so far.Kudos on your "pile of junk in the form of a 60".

Personally,I would give my left nut for a shop like you've got.

So would I!
I don't have the shop, I just have it at my disposal.

Extremely well thought out, executed rig. Very methodical in your approach, I really respect that.

 

[incogrhino]

ba ba ba bad asssss..Really, I love every inch of it.

Great Job Kevin!!! Your ideas are amazing!!!
I'm going to steal your tailgate idea for my rig.
Thanks for all the help over the years. Best advice you've given me is to get a friggen FSM. All that info is probably stored in your brain by now.

IMO this is the #1 60 rig on the site. I'm thinking "sticky" this one as it would be a shame to give it only on week to discuss. All in favor say "I' or something.

I agree, maybe added to the FAQ as an example of a well thought out, well executed build up.

*echo, echo* damn nicely built 60 ! *echo, echo*

So did ya figure out some actuated lights for the cable lockers?

Great write up BTW, as well written as your 60 was built up

 

[overhanger]

I second the sticky idea. Also, I highly recommend Mitch "Pops" Rowland's truck for ROTW exposure. His truck is similar and has its own little niceties thoughout it. The Rowland boys have their poop in a group!!

 

[Mace]

The problem with individual stickies running around is that it gets REALLY annoying up there.

There currently is a link to this thread in the ROTW signup sheet. I'll add some *****'s around it to make it stand out a bit more.

BTW, Kevin, you really did a good job. I am glad we moved the date around so that you could answer questions..

 

[kevinmrowland]

Thanks Mace, and thanks to everyone again.
I think the link in the ROTW sign up is plenty easy enough to find. I dont want to have to see my name at the top of the forum every time I log in.

So did ya figure out some actuated lights for the cable lockers?

I didn't do anything yet, but after looking at your pics (thanks) I think I will just make custom lenses and replace both the brake and seatbelt lights > I can do without both of them.

Fantastic 60. Great job man!

Where did you get those inspection hatches? Or did you fab those up yourself?

 

[hwi1s0n]

I want to be like you when I grow up.

Will do! Jason, take a look at the bottom of the page here.

Which hatch? The one between the seats? That one is a marine hatch I found online, hard to find in black.

I want to be like you when I grow up.

I hope I never grow up.
