Good looking rig! Where did you purchase the antenna mount on page 1? I need to find one for my cb install.

That's the cooltech gate mount bracket. I bought the entire kit, cb included from them. Here's the link to the bracket kit which includes the coax and the antenna.

Another question for you. How do you like the Bestop tailgate storage bags? Do you think they would stay attached to a tailgate folding table? I'm thinking one bag would be perfect to store my air hose and inflator as well as a deflator.

If you have a trail table I would look at molle bags. Check tacgearstore.com for condor molle bags. I ended up swapping mine out for molle panel. The bestow bags are a decent size but I don't know how you would attach it. They would hold a small air hose but it would be tight. I have mine in a recovery bag from ARB now.

sorry I missed your post. It just showed up today. seems like a nice pullover for $40 and it's comfortable. I haven't tried the heater part yet, as i had it shipped to work, but I am getting ready to head home, and it's 20 degrees outside, so i will give a try with the windows down.

Well I drove home with the jacket on and windows down for a bit. It was 20 out and the sun had gone down. The jacket tube can clip into the left or right vent and I put it into the drivers side one. The adapter snaps in pretty easy and comes out without issue. You need to buckle up first then attach the input tube. Once on it heats up quick! The jacket does puff up a little but it's not really noticeable. It keeps the heat in and you can feel it flowing out your hands and onto your neck too. I drove about halfway home at 45 or so before I had to roll up the windows because my ear were cold. I could have put up the hood and been toasty though. Overall it's a neat thing to have for spring for sure and I am sure I will use it every chilly morning.

Hard Top is off, trektop NX is on. I also ordered a TrekArmor mesh top with a MOLLE panel in the center. I like the spiderwebshade I have now, but I wanted the panel in the center and they don't offer that. I also ordered the AEV 2.5" RS lift with bilsteins, the geo brackets, their corner guards and some ACE sliders. My main goal on this rig is for my son to drive it in 6 years and it's my DD with trail use when I have the time. That's usually only a few times a year right now with their sports schedules. I also got to try out the ACE lava jacket this morning and the thing works great. Kept me toast driving at highway speeds with the top off and windows down, and temps in the 40's.
