well i might as well save this thread, it'll be my next problem with my cb lol, Redwolf

my buddy did that to his friend one day on the farm lol, Redwolf

Yes, but you did ground yourself as soon as you touched that wooden post, which completed the circuit. Either way, the advice for everyone to take away from this is: Electric fence BAD, haha. indeed it is lol, i think sunday if it's not rainin i'll tackle that bedline, Redwolf

alright, thanks guys, once i get a chance i'll tackle that bedliner and update yall on it and PFCLeist, try leadin up against a wooden post with an electric fence goin to it for horses, i'll never make that mistake again, have nice thick rubber soles on my boots too, Redwolf

so there's rubber compounds in bedliner and not just the drop in bedliner? Redwolf

no plastic bedliner, i have the factory spray in bed liner, and there is some of the bedliner under the mount, Redwolf

ok that makes since, right now i'm waitin untill 12 to take my mj to firestone for an alignment, after that i'll tackle the bed liner, Redwolf

it's not a cb radio issue that much i do know, my buddy bought a brand new cobra 29 ltd and let me wire it up in my truck before he did and i still get the same SWRs on that as i do on my cobra 19 plus, so that leads me to believe the antenna area is the issue, could it be that i mounted the antenna mount over top of bed liner? thought of that today at work, but when i power on the cb and grab the antenna the SWRs don't drop, Redwolf

played with the ground lead today, got it bolted onto the antenna bracket and i get SWRs of 3 across the channels 1-40 but i can't get the SWRs down to 2 (would like to get em down to 1 or 1.5) any ideas what i should try next? Redwolf

glad to know there's a MJ in tidewater that's actually on CC, i've tagged all the MJs i see in virginia beach but i don't think any of em join, Redwolf

yeah, i'm thinkin the grounds not the best, once i get my new cb radio i'm gonna try the ground in different spots cause when my girlfriend grabs the antenna the SWRs drop, Redwolf

example please? Redwolf

checked there after askin, noticed that the main wire had snapped, got that fixed now my swrs are higher (if that was possible) tomorrow after huntin when it's sun out i'm gonna try tunin it again, luckly i have the tune top firesticks :) Redwolf

Any idea what i did wrong? Redwolf

ran into a problem, i installed my cb radio, it power one, i hear people on it, don't know if they can hear me (i only have a cobra 19 plus), hooked up the firestik, hooked everything up to a swr meter and my swrs are off the charts, could i have done somethin wrong? Redwolf

saw another MJ today that i haven't seen before, all blue with a black driver side front finder, no camper shell, think it was a short bed, young guy drivin it, then there's a grey one that's always at votech in the afternoons, that one i tagged :) love seenin comanches in my area :) Redwolf

um, got bad news, i just replaced my track bar this mornin, greesed the new one up and everything, had no loud pop untill i left my local scrap yard, now that loud pop is back, why, how, what went wrong? what else could it be cause EVERYTHING is tight and greesed, Redwolf

bought my new track bar today, it's a drive works but as long as it replaces the broken one, is there a special way to take the old track bar off, also how easy is it to replace? Redwolf

good point, my local advance has one for 36 bucks but i can't remember if it's a moog or not, Redwolf

that is true, but now i know what i'm lookin for, Redwolf

just in case it's cheaper and i can find a good one, Redwolf

well got under the truck today found out the track bar in shot, do i absolutely need a trach bar to drive down the road, also what can i take one off off (what year XJs) and slap up under my 86 MJ that'll work? Redwolf

think so but i had it on the nut so i can take it off tomorrow, don't plan on drivin my MJ till i look at the upper part of the track bar then i plan on greesin it up again just in case, Redwolf

found out what my loud pop is, it's the upper part of the track bar, it's dancin and and gappin when ya turn the wheel, i don't know if it's just loose or if the bushins are bad or if whatever is inside it (my dad's thinkin ball joint) is bad, gonna take a better look tomorrow after the WD40 soaks in, Redwolf

You're on the right track there. Asking questions of people who have been there before you certainly helps and can save you headaches and expense, but until you get to turnin' wrenches yourself, you aren't really getting anywhere. Experience is the best teacher. indeed it is, right now i'm waitin for my dad to get back that way i can use his hi lift jack, once i get the front in up it's time to turn wrenches, i'm hopin it's just somethin loose, Redwolf
