Steelies Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 yeah man grab that shit, though we've had success with the shorter 900mm antennae also, if you want less stress on your mounting position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I also have one of those, the 900 mm version and I got to talk to manu from about 10 m away so Im claiming sucsess. That reminds me, I have to actually mount it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 yeah that was success, even with hold-in-you-hand grounding technology. pretty sure its a no no, but i just ground my cb through it's own bracket because lazy so do you chaps want to sort a meeting place for saturday? weigh station or mana shell or some such.

Big Value Buddy Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I'll need a robust mounting position, with so many dudes on the road. Might hit that 90, as we'll likely have to gutter mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mana shell sounds good, then people can get gas, snack and popsicles etc Whats the estimated roll out time? Its a good slog up to vegas.... I will be doing all my prep on saturday morning at this rate so need to know how early to get up/not go to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Also, i'm out of the tour now. Van was being a dick over the weekend and was major overheating. Cooling system is chooched. So need to remedy that before it hits the road again. For the loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goat Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The tempurature gauge was telling lies. Said it was all hunkey dory. But in reality it runs at 3/4 and gets just under max on slight inclines... Hopefully it hasnt done any damage. Seems healthy enough. And it didn't get maxed out hot. Just running way hotter than it should. Can hear coolant boiling whn stopped... So will biff waterpump, thermostat and new hoses at it. Any maybe a radiator recore. Im 99% sure it hasn't blown a head gasket. So should just require a tart up of system and be good to go. Though money doesn't allow that before nats. So gonna have to sit it out. Will be heading up wednesday however. But not in an oldschool whip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
