Also sab, do the HID's turn off over bumps? When I went out with a 79 cruizer with HID's installed they would turn off over bumps and would have to be reset before they would turn on again.. I would say very annoying at night while 4 wheeling.

Never had an issue with mine.

Bought a new UHF for it today, as the old one was knackered. Also got a new 6dB elevated feed aerial for it. Was in the middle of fitting it and it started to rain. So will have to finish that job off tomorrow.

Bit of a size difference in the units aswell.

Damn you had a huge UHF!

Is the new, smaller one, any better?

Spent a bit of time yesterday installing the UHF in the Cruiser, was pretty straightforward as i used the power that was already there from the old unit, snipped off the connector and soldered it all up.

Installed Hama's radio in his roof console. Took a bit more doing, but it came out pretty good in the end. Lucky bastard got two bolts to hold his radio in, i got jibbed with only one. Need to go back to Oricom and punch the spud who made mine.
