  3. Well since your interior is a challenge to say the least.

    Lay the coax along the passenger door over the fuel tank and come up under the bunk along the back of side of sleeper. Make or attach a antenna bracket. Then zip tie coax to underside of bunk. Along where ac for the bunk is and up to the just in front of passenger door. They have an aluminum wedge at the foot well you can take out. It's under the rubber mat. Look at firewall for a groment hole available. Or make a hole and put a rubber grommet in new home. Come out behind glovebox. If you take out glovebox and pop hood. This will give you access. You can run the coax up the a pillar into the same spot I mentioned before.this was and is my possible route when changing mine to rear of truck.

    I like the antenna in back idea, I will make a bracket. Do you guys think I should make a base with a larger ground plane? What is a good radio and mic to look for, speaker too? Not lookin to DX just #### chat down the road.

    When the piston starts gualding to the liner.... that material has to go somewhere, right straight down into the oilpan to be recirculated in the oil passages. Dark area on the bearing is the material from the piston / liner.

    Ahhhhh... the parking at that J is tight in the back rows. Still no excuse.

    I stay at the small dirt lot at the 237 if I’m unfortunate enough to run outta hours on that section of the 35 corridor. It’s a Shell station........ its also the place I got stuck one night up to my knees in mud but we don’t talk about that here :p
