cb antenna

[99ebexpedition]

so i bought me a cb radio today. cuz it reminds me of my dad when i was little we would go on road trips and he let me mess around on his. but anyways. where do u all think the best spot would be to put the antenna. or even mount the radio. wanting other opinions.

he has an actual right up some where. and nvycrmn his dual ants on his roof rack in between his lights. i think im might do duals in the back like walnuts. not sure yet. not on my list of things to finish right now. haha

how much lift do you have?

 

[tmajikman]

how much lift do you have?

its a 4 inch lift, sitting on Kuhmo 35s, it really does make a stock X look so much smaller, even a 4wd model. The NFab nerf bars also set the look of the truck off just right.

 

[panda24619]

yeah mine is tiny next to nvys. and he has a 4" lift with 35s. i need to put 35s on mine already! haha so mine next to walnuts would look like a hot wheels. haha

majik, where did you get the bars? are they for the f150?

Made specific for the Expedition, Gen 1s to be exact.

do nerf bars double as sliders? cus if they do im gunna get some

 

[panda24619]

they can. but that added step can sometimes screw you over. like that step can rest against a rock. but yeah they can double as them. i think im might get me some. they look real good.

I love the NFabs, lifetime guarantee(sp?) on the parts, and a 5 year on the actual powder coat, coating.

When you start looking at aluminum and plastic nerf bars/running boards with a crappy warranty you actually end up paying more up front, but you are not having to make a purchase twice either. I have purchased things in the past that were cheaper, and I got what I paid for, then I ended up buying the priceier item afterwards, finding out that doing it one time really does cost less in the end.
