I'll try to take as many great photos of all the fun you will be missing out on so you can see just how wrong your choice was.

Alright I picked up a fiberglass antenna... http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2062085 Anyone have an SWR meter that is going or should I look for someone to tune it locally. I've been googling the cb thing. Figured it was like a bit stronger walky talky. Way off... It adjusts by way of a screw at the top. Will I mess up the radio if I hook up the antenna but don't tune it fully out of the gate with the swr meeter?
I'm rolling very stock and dark_fairytales might get his brother rolling stock so I am sure you could make it.

Dude its no big deal..
We where all beginners at one point, i still feel as i am one myself.
But the more you go the better you become.
Yes i was told the swr meter is best, its needed to be tuned properly.
I had mine tuned once and then thats it, and its on a magnet on the roof that has been knocked over soo many times its not even funny. I haven't bothered to do it again.
John where is this trip supposed to be?

hey mike this trip is gonna be up hogsback through the pelegren jeep trail which is where we'll be camping. and then screw around in the area sunday morning and out the ponderossa rd to hwy 36. there is an alternate trail, i'd like to take, but it would take entire day sunday and i know some of u have a long drive home

you gonna make it this weekend mike, u can get a first hand look. it is not hard core all the way but some spots will challenge u. the pelgren has some technical stuff but like i've said, there is a go around fore the semi stock guys. i would like to take the lower slab run on the 11th. i have heard some nightmare stories lately for stock rigs so we might have some challenge there. if you are a member of trails.com u can see these out of red bluff

Just a note for the stock yota's, it will be a good idea to remove your anti swaybar. With my experience off road it helps and the ride is much nicer on road. I noticed no difference in body roll in the turns, it took a body lift to change that at all and its not even close to scary.
