Antenna Mount

Unread post by mrdibbles » March 14th, 2008, 4:35 pm

Because I park under a lift height is an issue with Antenna placement. I will be experimenting this weekend with some configurations. I thought you might be interested in this oddball. This would make sense for a "Gun Jeep".

Gas Can

Unread post by Rainman » March 16th, 2008, 7:43 pm

Hey guys,

That one is a water can, good eye there HTN. It was not uncommon to drive with fuel cans in the vehicle.
We carried 2 gas cans between the front seats to operate 1.5 KW generators. I smoked cigarettes back
then too. We used them as arm rests while driving. :shock:
