What did you do to the expy today

[Wolf]

Added a tablet holder to the dash, adds to the nerd setup that I have going on here with the 2-Way radio. Next will be a CB when I feel like drilling another 3/4" hole in the roof.

Finally got around driving mine this weekend, and i just all 8 COPs with MSD brand, pinion seal and transfer case seals on the driveline, it got an awning, and hi lift jack added, and I'm ordering o2 sensors this week... someday it will be finished

Yeah... it's going to be just more of a garage tool or trail tool, helpful to have for others, etc. they DO NOT work at all expeditions unfortunately

Don't drill the roof, pick up a magnet mount cb antenna. I used to have one, that worked great. The only down side is you've got a cord that hangs through your window. But it saves from drilling, and is portable.

The other down side to the magnetic base is that the ground plane isn't as good--and in my experience they pop off the roof too easily in the wind. The Motorola NMO mounts are secure, waterproof and provide better ground.

Theres really no down side to drilling a small hole in the vehicle if you do it right. When I need to load stuff on the roof or go into a car wash I just unscrew the antenna and put a cap on the mount.

Additionally, frying a radio because the ground plane becomes unstable isn't worth it--not when you have over $400 worth of equipment invested

Use what you feel comfortable with

Oooohh I hit a pot hole so hard today that I think the whole front right strut tower collapsed, the truck is sagging to the point of the top of the tire is rubbing the fender flare.
