My dad finally saw a picture of my new wheels and he said it looked so red neck that my step mom almost cried. hahaha I cant wait for him to see the cb!
Today i fixed my 4 wheel drive, just pulled off the vac lines right next to the diff and cleaned them, now it works great.
I will be getting a set of aisin hubs from Kiyobrown, and i finally talked my buddy into finishing my damn skid plate for his school project.

BAM!!
You'll just need a set of gaskets from the dealer, and you will be ready to roll!!!
P.S. If your stepmom cries when she sees them, DO NOT TELL HER MY NAME!!!

Amazing, even my mom and step dad were impressed, and they have no clue what they do haha. Thank you so much for doing that, they look spectacular.I got my antenna installed, i put it on the drivers side of the rear bumper. I will get pictures tomorrow. Can you explain how grounding the cb works, my boss was saying there is a ground wire integrated into the coax, and that i have to cut the insulation to get to it. Is he right?

Lol yes, yes he his...
What i did is just went out and got a mount with a screw in...
Basically you have to strip the coax, identify the wires, and ground the wire to anything bare metal.
So i was just a lazy f'er and got a different mounting system... I got it from a place in everett.
if you want tomorrow we can meet up and i can show you, it was fairly cheap, looks better, and IMO probably works better too.

Found an image, (from wikipedia)
That outer braid, is what you use for the ground. put a connector on the end of that to screw it to bare metal.
And the inner core you attach to your antenna.

I cant find anything on the grounding. I dont know if i need to do that to both ends, and i cant get the screw on peice to come off my 18 foot coax cable . Do i even need to take it off? or can i just cut the insulation right below it?
Sorry if none of this makes sence. I might have to end up getting you help birdbrain haha
