I'm wondering who could tune my CB for their favourite case or 2 of beer?

To be honest... You can buy a meter and do it yourself for a case of beer or two. Its not harx at all and then you got another tool to collect dust.

Comtek in Road King sells them for about $30 i believe. If you PM Knox he has one ;)

I have one too but its been lent out to a friend.
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

I'm going to Road King tomorrow to switch the Fiberglass antenna  to a steel whip.  What time will you be there?

Well made it to RoadKing and got myself a whip antenna instead of the fiberglass and picked up an SWR meter, so I should be up and running tonight when I get some time.  Thanks everyone that has offered to help.

Hey "homeguy" if you are coming out on the JK run , can you bring the SWR with you, i have ben using it and nothing happened but i just replaced my antenna and it sounds like it gets way to strong of a signal.

Thanks allot
