with much thanks to a real good fawker i got a sharp deal on some 70mm2 cable for upgradin my winch cables.. out with the old, in with the new..
Image

then put an aerial onto the cage in this spot.. thought it may be tucked behind cage for some protection and its super flexy.. only cable tied it there though as to test it works well befire securing fully..
Image

and for the aerial to work, ya need a radio. that good fawk looked after me again with this GME unit.. mounted it onto cage and put the hand piece close to my yap for ease to reach the clicky squawk box switch..

Farrlash bro. Why dont you leave the ariel mount cable tied on? Then if it gets a knock or more likely a ton and a half of cruiser sitting on top of it :lol: :lol: then the cable ties might save it.

Hey mate where abouts did you get that line locker from? How good does it work as a handbrake? Installed a hydro handbrake in my truck but its a cheap piece of crap, keeps bending!

Mint truck you got there, nice workmanship!

Disregarding it being potentially illegal to fit a linelock, has anyone used these hidden somewhere on truck for anti-theft purpose?
