I'm bringing spares! Stock with a bent flange but hey, it'll get ya home haha.I considered this trip but I'm on my last spare rear axle shaft! Not in a hurry to spend another $500 knowing I'm probably gonna bend ANOTHER one there.
Hmmmm, maybe I can start a Go Fund Me page? :hmm:

I run both GMRS/FRS and CB. If you don’t want to install a CB, the little GMRS handhelds work great too

Bill what GMRS are you using?
Midland 40 watt GMRS. It’s great, but it’s a bit overkill. The 15 watt would work great too, but it’s not repeater capable. Either one is so much better than a CB if we can get everyone on GMRS.

Awesome. Thanks. I will take a look. I fixed my CB as a side note. Took all of 5 minutes.
What was it?

I had it installed in the wrong mounting hole so the post was in contact in with the bracket instead of being isolated. I had ripped the whole damn thing off once because the firestick got stock on and I had to get in a parking garage. Well I must not have paid attention when I re-installed the damn thing and used the wrong mounting hole. Never thought about it until I started having issues. These work OK? Don't really see a 40w.

I was running the Baofeng 8watt that I got off of amazon and just programmed all the gmrs frequencies into. One charge lasted the whole time we were up there, I even left the thin on overnight one night. It’s pretty reasonably priced and fairly easy to program. I just used Channels 1-22 to correspond with the gmrs channel numbers.
I was able to lock the keypad and strap it to the rollbar and used a gear keeper for the mic.
This is the 8 watt

Here’s a 5 watt that would probably work just as well

What's the difference. You are switching out anyway! I fully anticipate coercing you into trying more stupid shit. Won't be the same otherwise.

I already have two bent spares :crazyeyes:. Plus I'm running the semi-worthless Semi-float PR60
LOL, I'm thinkin on it. NO MORE GODDAM MUD PUDDLES .Not all of us from Pittsburgh love that shit. :icon_crazy:
You know, you could just go a bit easier on it. Nice trail ride in the mountains. Just say’n.

Uh-huh, yeah. Hello pot.
Edit. Who bent BOTH rear shafts? :hmm:
They were bent before I got up there.... Only one build at a time and the Scrambler can’t get done fast enough now. I am really torn. Yukon is warranting them and with the spare set, just rotating thru them as I bend them, it’s not costing me any except shipping. But, then there’s the annoying squeak and the hassle of it all. Not to mention, brick needs a new set of axles for his two door. Decisions Decisions.

I do not and will not encourage puddles or mud. Climbs we have no business doing.....well I can’t promise you that. Blame your door on me. Not your axle shafts.
