I figured out a work around, now I wear a football helmet while using a HiLift.

Just got back into the swing of things. Time to start taking care of the last minute details... Oh... One more thing... I STILL NEED MY FJ BACK!!!! Hopefully tomorrow. Then I need to install a new bumper on it and reload all the stuff back in it before Friday morning.

I kind of feel your pain there. I haven't been without my vehicle, but most of the stuff I ordered at the beginning of the month (including the roof rack) won't show up until Wednesday. So I get Wednesday evening and Thursday evening to install roof rack, antenna, lights, and re-install the phone, radio and antenna I already had installed which had to be moved. I still have to figure out just how to install the roof rack too, since they don't make a direct fit kit for a Discovery... I do have a working theory though.

At least they issued my callsign today.

I just read the vehicle requirements....... I'm not happy about the antenna height thing. I run a whip on my rig solely so people behind me can have a visual if I drop in a dip,round a corner. I know why the ruling was made.... In a situation where the vehicle rocks the taller atenna moves alot .... somebody probably got hit many many years ago because thats how long ago I heard that story

That long antennae might come in handy at Truckhaven until you try the "Arch". I think if you tie it forward Thomas, no one is going to give you a hard time.

Where I'm from, the issue with tall antennas are power lines. I can't tell you how many antennas I've seen cut off (zapped) by power lines.

Don't sweat the antenna length Thomas. Just come out and have some fun.

LOL, one of those months... looks like I'll be showing with less done on my truck than when I started. No lights, no armor, and an HT with a clip-on window antenna for me.



You get your truck back yet Ollie?

As long as you can get out there that's all that matters.

I got my truck back Tuesday afternoon and have been working ever spare minute trying to get it back together. I'm going on a total of about 4 hours of sleep in the last 72 hours. Hoping to finish up early this evening so I can get some rest before I leave tomorrow morning.
