Re: bj40 build...
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..

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..

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
then the cable ties might save it.

Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

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!

Re: bj40 build...
Disregarding it being potentially illegal to fit a linelock, has anyone used these hidden somewhere on truck for anti-theft purpose?
