What Did You Do To Your Truck Today? v2.0

[That Crazy Squirrel]

Do you have a pic with the new lights?

Not yet. I just put them on this afternoon and have not taken the truck anywhere. (There's a mercury vapor yard light over my driveway, so pictures of the lights there wouldn't be very accurate.)

Besides, I still have three more to put on the front. Two 27w spots (one on either side) and a 48w spot in the middle.

Those will be replacing the four 55w halogens already up there:

Better start looking for something, that's about when those Italian vehicles start having problems.

Loaded it up with tools I thought I'd need to go help my grandson-in-law do some work on the RV I sold him a couple of years ago.Need to set the timing,etc. to get it ready to get smogged.

Installed a ham radio in the wife's truck for when I drive it. She's not a ham, and has no desire to become one, but her truck gets better fuel mileage than mine. We usually were taking mine though, if we went out together, because of the radios. Now we can take hers and I can still be available for emergencies. Plus, hers is 4x4, so it's a better choice than my 5 ton dually for heavy snow in the winter, when I usually get assigned to shelter duty, or health & welfare checks on folks snowed in.

I was using a mag mount antenna on hers, that hooked up to my little 5 watt HT, which was fine for the immediate area, but having a full 50 watt unit in her truck is much better, and the new glass mount antenna seems to be doing a good job of getting the signal out.
