The SUV does, yes. The SUT fits in the overhead compartment.

CB came yesterday! I bailed on my original antenna idea and stopped and bought a 2' firestick while I was in Sacramento this a.m. Looking forward to installing all of it this weekend.

Tie rods ordered. Hopefully they get here in time to be installed and have alignment done. Then I can bring the old for spares incase we lose one....or two.

Sean, I hear ya about looking forward to this with alot of crap going on in life. I'm in the same boat, I really really need this trip. Thanks again for the invite. Only two weeks!

I just did that project a few weeks ago. Lots of good antenna tips in this thread. If you need any help along the way, lemme know.

How embarrassing. I still had chrome and little tires ...

[rodster]

I've been thinking about painting the shields to match. Watcha think? Any suggestions on primer, prep or paint?

Repair? or Replacement?

[rodster]

Different angle, better shot.

Good point. Replacement (in the field) would make sense, yes?

Nope. From what my buddy tells me it's very simple...a "cake walk" were his exact words. He even said a tie rod fork was unnecessary and that he'd show me "a little trick to replacing them". I plan to do it myself with him instructing me. I'll be ready for it if it happens.

BTW - Rod, did you say you had a air filler unit? Any idea what the PSI output is? If it's within range I'll bring air wrenches to make any repairs even easier. I'll also bring a torque wrench. geeez, I need to make a list.

Here's what the manufacturer says (although they also offer performance specs of typical CFM at 90 p.s.i. for various tools.)

Because of high outlet pressure tool damage is possible and extended tool use is not recommended. Most air tools are not rated to accept 150 p.s.i. DO NOT USE with tools that are NOT rated for a maximum pressure of 150 p.s.i.

The tires are allright. The chrome sucked out loud. Outstanding job on extending the shields! As far as painting them to match, um, well, um, why not paint that gawdawful pewter thing to match the shields?

****!!! now I gotta throw the compressor on the rack! Anybody bringin a generator? LMAO!

[Bondage]

BTW - I've never changed the tie rods on the H2, but I did break a tie rod on my old JEEP!!! LOL Changed that in the field, no problem. I'm sure we could manage - and I have some printed instructions from BLUEHUMMER where I bought the "Tie-Rod Repair Tool Kit."

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
There will be no broken rigs on this trip. Thank you. That is all.

Thanks very much. Little patience and (too much) time works wonders sometimes.

A. Black is not a color. It is the absence of color.

B. Black is evil. Pewter is light. Therefore black is for leftists, pewter for right.

Is that a bit much?

Edit: Is 150 psi a bit much?
