Looks good! Any bracing on the back side of that?

As of now no, depending on when I have access to the CNC again I plan on making braces for the sides. Might not be for a while but I don't usually abuse skids either so no biggy.

Finally mounted the cb in the console, idk why I didn't do this earlier, it took all of 20 minutes and I didn't even have to take off the trim pieces.

Got back from the lonestar toyota jamboree and did a little damage assessment. I used my sliders quit a bit over the weekend, but never got hung up on my rear bumper despite a lot of steep drop offs. Also contacted the link bracket a little but nothing horrible. I also busted my idler arm bushings up so I'm gonna go pick up a new arm (under warranty) and I'm ordering a brace from blazeland tonight. I also found a company called lotus that makes a link bracket slider for the 3rd gen that I will try to retrofit to go on my truck (unless it will fit because the links and brackets are almost identical.)

I'm new to CB radios. What does it mean to get a radio tuned?

I think what Rob means to get the antenna matched to the radio so that the SWR is 1 to 1 match. If the SWR is too high it's bad for the radio, and decreases your output from the antenna.

SWR and Antenna Tuning Explained

This article covers the WHY and theory behind SWR and antenna tuning. If you want to know HOW to tune your CB antenna, please see our CB Antenna Tuning Instructions.


While we’ll dive into the technical details deeper in the article, here are the most important facts you need to understand about CB antenna tuning:

“Antenna tuning” refers to the process of adjusting your antenna to the correct length for transmission.

Tuning your antenna is mandatory if you want acceptable CB performance.

Not tuning your antenna will result in poor transmission and reception performance, and can also result in permanent damage to your radio

You’ll need an SWR meter (available for around $25) in order to tune your antenna.
 
Well about that... My buddy's fj almost flopped, I 3 wheeled one time pretty good but it was late and no pics were taken :(
