so heres the dealio, i was planning on powdercoating my sticks gloss black, but then i had the idea of throwing some olive drab green in there to match my truck. i cant decide what to do, i dont have any O.D incorporated in my interior yet, and want to do it somewhere, but i think the sticks might be alittle overkill.

what i am most likely gonna do is powdercoat my twin sticks olive drab, and then gloss black on my regular gear shifter.

but then i had the idea of doing all 3 sticks black, and the trim ring on the floor olive drab. I dont care either way, im good with anything, i want to know what you guys think, im most likely going to sell this truck in the far future (far far away from now) anway, so i want it to look appealing.

i did POR-15 on my dads 87 runner. i used like a glossy silver gray color, it had gray shift knobs too so it looked pretty good. i can take a pic if u want.

sure, pics are welcome, not sure i'd do grey or silver though, it wont match anything haha

I made my own floor trim, and painted it OD Green. I think it looks pretty cool, painted to match.

i like that look alot, i might consider doing that. i also like the diomand plate, i might also steal that idea too lol. in black of course

Yeah, the black diamond plate would look better. I ditched mine when I upgraded the CB.

For your CB get a retractable mic mount like truckers use

what kind of cb do you have?

i wanted to run the cobra 29 ltd army, but i couldnt find anywhere in the cab to mount it neatly because its so huge, so i treid all differents kinda of cb's i had lying around (probably about 10-15) and none of them fit. ended up going with a cheapo radio, the cobra 19 ultra 3, wich is often confused with the cobra dx iv, but its alot better


where would i hang it from? the mirror? i could imagine it being quite a dangerous projectile come a bumpy trail around 20mph

I just got my mic hangin from the passenger side visor with a hook. My radio is also huge and that's bolted to the glove box. Not very passenger friendly though. lol.

I thought thats what it was. I just picked one up lastnight. Is it any good? You woulnt happen to have an extra coax about 10 foot long for sale would you? Its for my Cobra 25 wx nx st.

i was blessed with short legs, so who evers ridin shot guns usually restin there knees on the glovebox to begin with thanks to bench seats

85gijunk4x4

actually, yes! for a little radio like that im very impressed with it. beleive it or not, it can get out there, i used to run it with a magnet mount, and people always said it talked like a fullsize radio. But no, sorry, i'm actually looking for a coax too haha. And i also have a 25 wxnwst. that is another highly reccomendable radio, if my 148 wxnwst didnt have SSB i would prefer the 25 over the 148!!
