Jonny V's Raptor Build

Hey all....Here's my first mod that I got on video. I'm thinking to just put up a video every time I get something done. The transmission cooler was the first mod. Next is my exhaust system, Ham radio install, and bed D-ring tie downs. God I love driving a Raptor!!!

Here's my install of an MBRP dump exhaust. Thanks @Rick@FreedomMotorsports for the hookup and the great advice!! LOVE THIS MOD!!!

You mention Ham Radio. My 3 kids are working towards their Ham license and I will be also. They've asked me if I can put on in our truck. So being new at Ham (I've had CB's in vehicles for years...mainly for trips) what would a Ham radio be useful for on the highway? Thank you for your service.

Having a ham radio (UHV/VHF) radio in the Raptor is for two purposes...

1. To go on most any of the "Raptor runs" that are out there, whether the ones that TRR puts on (Baja, Texas, so forth) or the ones of the Raptor Offroad group, or any others, you have to have one in the truck, and not a hand-held either. The reason is for safety. If you're a hundred miles into the Nevada desert and you wreck or break something, you have to be able to communicate. Most of the groups I've seen require a 50 watt radio, minimum.

2. I'm a bit of a prepper, and ham radio is a necessity for that. In our current SHTF situation, ham radio doesn't mean much, but I live in Washington and if we get the mega 9.0 earthquake everyone says is coming it will be real important then.

I really need to get off my ass and get my ham license....
