photo's of install . please

 

 

definitely pics please.

 

Once I have it installed, completely, I will. Right now, I have my CB/Scanner resting in the location where I want them, and my antenna with most of its hardware is laying under the backseat, until I get all of my needed items purchased and received. Looking for a way to mount my antenna to the front of the bed with my tonneau cover installed.

I had one on my '13 Silverado, worked great, but my '15 Sierra has the bed rail capped, and can't cut into the stake pocket.....it's a lease at the moment....will likely buy it at lease end if it holds together, then I can play :driving:

I have one from my last truck, see link below, that will allow me to mount my antenna either to the outside or to the inside of the rail, but my cover covers the top of both rails, to include the forward "rail." None of the stack pockets are visible with the cover on.

Ran into a "small snag" with putting my CB in, the bracket that I'm using to hold my radios in place is 1.5-2.25" wider than my radios. I have been looking online, in every hardware store, CB store, truck stop, you name it. Where can I find them? What "size" do I need? They are hanging on the bracket by only one side.

Thought that there was at least one in this thread, if not a link to another conversation about it, a lot like mine (shown above). Or are you talking about being inside the box under the armrest portion? I haven't seen or heard anything along that line, if that's the case. Have you Googled it?

it will be out of sight, BUT you have to have the console lid open to used it. most people like to look at it from time to time, check meter / channel .

Finally figured it out.

 

What grommet did you run your antenna cable through? Where is it on the inside?

 

I have my antenna mounted (Thurs morning), took pictures yesterday morning after I got home from work, CB/scanner are mounted and power ran (not connected, yet), and now it's just a matter of finding a way into the cab and routing the antenna cable to my CB and then routing a antenna cable from my stereo to the scanner.

I installed my CB antenna in the stock antenna location. SWR is great! Removed the ashtray and installed the radio directly to it. Lots of radio traffic around here.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

      And overpriced. I was in the Oshawa Truck Plant when they were being built. Very few. I could count on one hand how many I've seen since
