I didn't take a chance on the little speaker - I went with a 5 watt remote speaker. If you want I'll take a picture, and post it tomorrow.

Check my build thread for pictures. I'll be adding more as things come together.

:cool:


Awesome. Thanks for the pic. I'll do the same thing.
So it came with OP2 open? You didn't have to unsolder it to work in the 11m band?
I thought they came with both OP1 and OP2 soldered (10m band) and needed to mod them into 11m. That's the reason I wanted to go with AE-6110 so I wouldn't have to mess with it internally.


I started a thread regarding these little radios here:

New(ish) small size CB Radio


Let's talk about over there, so we don't highjack this thread too much.
 
Marble Falls (Hidden Falls Adventure Park).
Went there this past winter. It's pretty cool. Need to go again soon.
 
Took the 80 and the dog to interlope with my local Jeep group.

Love the photo of your Landcruiser in the middle of all the jeeps! I'll have to check out hidden falls. Looks nice in the photos!

Correct - you don't have to unsolder it to work on 11 meters. It came out of the box ready to go on the CB channels. What the mod does is to allow you to switch between 4 watts and 8 watts. Without the mod - it will ONLY push 4 watts on 11 meters. I did the mod, and now can push 8 watts to my Palomar Elite 250 Amp. Can you hear me now (BIG GRIN!).

It's a really nice section within the Balcones Canyonlands. Lots of water and green, especially with the rain we've been getting.
 
A few weeks back I got tired of the shaky mirror and tried to fix it but I ended up dropping the damn thing and breaking the glass. Tried searching for a complete used assembly but never could so I ordered one from the dealer. Was surprised it was only $242 as I was expecting well north of $300.

Looks a bit out of place with the shiny paint but oh well. At least I can see again!

I aquired some of these & now thinking these would be great for some front bumpstop pucks or a 1" body lift. You can get hockey pucks for like $2.00 I got these for free.

they are also great on the shop bench for driving pins etc after you drill a couple of holes in them...
 
I used the 80 to pick up this on Sunday:

And this last night:

What size tires are you running?

And my front bumper is going to look like yours one of these days. I took off the smashed in corners but just haven't taken the time to cut the tabs off the outside edges.
 
365/75R16

A grinder with a cutoff wheel made short work of the tabs.
