Miss you guys!!

Looking for some products and goodies for my 2004 X, a locker, differential skid, a CB and quality antenna. The antenna's going to be mounted to Shrockworks rear swing-away. What's your opinion on brands and the best sites to shop from?

Georgie, FIRESTIK is based here in PHX and their shop is downtown on about 14th st and Jefferson. That's where I'd get my antenna and as far as a CB, what'd you have in mind? I have an awesome connection for everything electronic..
In as far as the other things, the skids, etc. Just order them through the links on this site. ie- if you're getting the Shrockworks diff skid, enter his site and place your order.. The locker and compressor'd perhaps be best sourced through 4wheelparts, and I've recently done a bit of shopping with ExpeditionExchange and OKOffroad. Both great service, and products were deliverd on time as promised.

You'll be happy with Shrock's skids. Highest quality and easy to install. I have the front skid and eng/trans skid presently. My transfercase and gas tank skids should be here shortly. And hopefully in about 3 weeks, my rear bumper/tire carrier.

I too am looking for a cb. Thinking of the Cobra handheld. http://www.buyreliant.com/cb/c75wxst.htm

Thanks for the opinions guys, always appreciated. Dan, on the CB, I'm looking for something reliable and easy to use with a decent range. Don't need all sorts of crazy bells and whistles.

Roger that. I have the Uniden Pro510 and it fits in my dash below the radio. Some prefer the hand held unit, the Cobra 75wxt(?) I'll have prices for you on those and others early next week. (I'm leaving for San Diego in a few hours for the weekend.. )

Cool, have fun in San Diego. :p

Dan,
Were you able to get pricing on the CBs for me? I'll have to check out Firestik when I get home.

I'll post prices for you tomorrow, after 3 here I use mine (uniden) for contact under 10 miles mostly, typically under 100 yards; trails, freeway travel, etc.

Hey Dan what price can you get on the handheld Cobra 75wxst?

Thanks

I'll let you know after 3 tomorrow.

Booyah! Just looked on Froogle, and I've got it beat.. There may be cheaper deals but I'm not looking that hard.
Uniden Pro510XL- $34.99
Cobra C75WXST- $84.69

Wow, that's a pretty sweet price on the Cobra. I might be interested in one of those myself. Other than an Antenna, that's all I need right?

I have something that looks very much like that Uniden, but it's a Cobra. Just a PIA to mount it anywhere in the 05.

I am using one of these and for $25.00 bucks plus free shipping its an awesome deal and works fantastic. Has great range also. posted a link for in case others are interested.

Hope all is well for you there.... Think about you all the time.

Great info, thanks a bunch. Will definately look into things.

Dan is that price on the Cobra the out the door price?

Were you going to bring the X here to do the cables? Or are you just broinginging the cables in the Miata? I should be able to get the crimper this weekend.

The prices include shipping and tax.

I'd bring the X out to do the job. Once connected, I'd like to spool out the cable and wrap on the new rope. How's your weekend Sat or Sun looking anyways? Ya' know, I do have the 2" BL to go on.. With the right instructions and tools, it might take us all of 3-5 hours..

Weekend is open... BL ummmm... Could be considered a learning experience... Let me think about the BL.

Winch easy! Cables and new synthetic line, okay!

What is the link for the CB? I might just order that...

Okay, let's do the damn BL!

I AM the link for those prices I'll order it and pay tomorrow, get it to you this weekend OR I'll just bring you my book and you can pick out what you want and I'll call it in Mon.
Really, you ready for the lift?
I'd better re-read the writeup HERE . I'm going to start a thread on the install just because I know others were interested in it too. Saturday or Sunday will be fine for me. I was going to attend the "Iron Chef Nissan", Battle Chicken Campout, on Mt. Ord this weekend, but I think this is a better idea. Thanks for the offer to help

Ya order the Cobra 75, I'll explain to Gwynn after...

The lift shouldn't be too bad, AZ truck and little to no rust underneath...

Saturday then? I could be out there around 9..

I'll call in the cb tomorrow, they next day us usually.

I am off Saturday, and Bren is otta town, so I might come over and see how that BL is done. Assuming you not mind an extra hand

No way, Dan and I can get this done easy?????

Can't wait to have the extra help!

See ya Saturday! Early, 9ish I hope...

Right Dan??????

Me, and power tools? Are you kidding? Having a professional medic in the house is a BONUS!!
