    Going to order an Icom F5021, what else do I need?

    I'm going to finally buy an Icom F5021 radio, so I can start enjoying some of the awesome runs put together here. I already have it picked out on Amazon, but I know nothing about this radio stuff, and am not sure what else I'll need. Here are the things I'm drawing a blank on... Antenna...

    Prairie City SVRA Nov. 23rd

    Really short notice, but I'm planning on heading out to Prairie City this Saturday the 23rd. Any and all are welcome, this is super informal...just putting it out there for anybody that might need to stretch their legs before Turkey day. I'm not trying to detract from Cleave's planned meetup...

    Peragon Truck Bed Covers

    Anyone ever heard of/used Peragon Truck Bed Covers? I came across them while surfing the interwebs, and thought it was a pretty interesting design...including the color matching option, but more-so the part where it doesn't block the rear window when fully opened. Here's their [lengthy]...

    The Raptor's new keychain!

    Nothing major... just wanted to share a pic of the trucks new keychain. I knew exactly what I wanted it for when I saw it. I picked it up in the gift shop of the USS Midway, which is parked in San Diego. Kinda fitting considering everyone always asks, "have you jumped it yet?" :waytogo:

    SYNC not displaying connection code..

    What gives?! I'm totally ok with having to reconnect my iPhone with the SYNC system from time to time, as it usually only freaks out after I stream Pandora. But this latest episode has given my SYNC code window, a blank stare. I'm not getting the 6 digit code, nor some alternate 4 digit...

    Outlaw hood mounts and HIDX lights from Alternative Off Road

    I'll spare you the step by step for this mod, because it's already been done... so, Big props to BigJ for doing the heavy write-up HERE. However, my one suggestion to add to BigJ's walk through, is to loosen or remove the hood struts prior to fully tightening down the mounts. Doing so will...

    Tuff Jug gas cans

    Tuff Jugs... anybody use 'em? Does the ripper cap, or even the tank adapter, work with our "special" filler necks, or do you still have to use the silly stock funnel? I'd like to get one or two for my upcoming Death Valley camping trip, but only if they're really as good as they sound...

    4x4 hi and low, drags when turning...

    When I switch to 4hi or 4low, and make a turn, it feels like the system is binding. The truck actually wont even move unless you give it a decent amount of throttle and/or straighten out the wheel. If you're already moving and make a turn, this "binding" will actually slow the truck to a stop...

    Trip computer reset?

    When I disconnect my battery in preparation for any electrical work... will that reset the trip computer, or any other electronic device in the vehicle?

    my 4th of July

    I was fortunate enough to be a part of a local hospitals group during the return of our city's 4th of July parade... 'course it helps when both my mother and wife work there. :waytogo: This was their first time participating and they were honoring those employees who had family that were...

    Pics of a quick trip up Peavine Peak

    Was recently in the Reno area visiting my sister and decided to give my Raptor its first off-road thrashing. So I headed over to the Verdi-Mogul area to try out some of the trails on Peavine Peak. The main road is 7 miles of gravel that any passenger vehicle could traverse, but I made it my...

    Spintech 6.2 Screw

    Let me start by saying that, I've never had any part of the exhaust system, for any of my vehicles, changed before. But the wimpy factory muffler just wasn't cuttin' it on the Screw, especially since this is the most extreme vehicle I've ever owned. So, I dropped by NorCal muffler here in town...

    I've got a Stubby!!

    Received and installed my Stubby antenna from Cravenspeed yesterday and can't believe this isn't a factory product. I didn't realize how friggin huge the old mast was, until I had it off the truck!! No more banging the garage when I drive in/out. :waytogo: All the local stations still come...
