What I can add to help you out maybe? Is that about 6 or 8 months ago I was also researching and getting educated as to what coms to install in my beast...I ended up with the ICOM ID5100. Also I stated twice to a previous poster to help them out and didn't listen to later state if they had...

¿Sounds a little low? Make sure you get a history and or look for rebuilt signs. I found one locally that had originally been in a head on collision and sold as is to a Guy that tried to later sell it as if was never in an accident except for minor fender bender. Buyer-Beware.

In addition to all that was already said (and if I missed a quote or restated sorry for that) mostly all in as EricM opined...what I was looking for was the long game and the extra special that a 2014 has being the last of the GEN 1...Mine had everything I was looking for as I had mentioned when...

Ok...a better real life experience...maybe something to consider, as I continue to mull over the future job course of action.

Yes I figured the muffler would have to be lowered also, but for some (I don't bc I have a Lightning side custom job) with a dump before the axles don't even need tp worry about the tail pipes/spare as these need to be moved for additional work space to move the leaf springs into place, etc. So...

¿Just curious? Kindasorta a second opinion request...I have been following and reading all views of the "infamous" leaf spring upgrades, etc...A common complaint I read, is the bolt difficulty and the multiple blades, and time consuming it is to take/cut the bolt off, etc. Is it really anymore...

Not a 1/18 scale, but I found this on Amazon shortly after I picked my full scale, while looking for parts. At the time only one was available for something like $7.00 plus delivery, new. Shortly after I looked again on Amazon for S&Gs , and they were sold out. So I got curious. Looked on eBay...

Drove through Miami FL “Wynwood Arts Design District” Definitely felt a little out of place...but I did hit some areas that needed road work with lots of pot holes and railroad crossings, much more exciting than Shopping Mall parking lot speed-bumps, hahaha.

As noted and shown in a previous build sequence, held down with cam locking straps to my mod/bolted steel angle and seats down. Or 60% of the time I have a platform in place, also noted and in a previous build sequence. 90% stays as such in place. The Boss' items moves around from time to time...

Or with the seats up for other sorties...various setups as needed...

Behind the backs

Strapped in and at the ready under the seat and more behind the backs .... And notice that I also have some very important equipment on board and at times for the Boss...reusable shopping bags and a golf umbrellas, one midsized and one full size.

I screwed on the metal plate to the hump and the head has two strong magnets to hold it while in use. I remove the head unit when not in use, etc. I ran the cable from the console/LockerUp up to the dash, behind the glove box, up the right side windshield pilar, through the headliner to the head...

I researched doing this "operation" for both my hand held originally (Yaesu FT-70DR, to compliment my Truck mobile) and for the ICOM, but after looking at the size and difficulty, I figured once I got the right tools, etc., and add the risk of screwing it up and not an electronics engineer...for...

I have the ID-5100A Deluxe, however, the end result is the same once you have the MARS/CAP mod done. I purchased mine at GiGa Parts and they do the mod for $35.00 prior to shipping. I am able to TX/RX without errors. Depending where you purchased yours, you might be able to send back to your...

Hello, I'm in SoFL now and may be traveling up soon....So, I am interested on your offer. I have a couple of questions though and they are bc of the lack of first hand experience with upgrading the suspension on the beast. I do have the original stock suspension and Im at about 116K and due for...

Hang in there Bud...I also went from a FX4 to the Beast and immediately got a rude awakening when I loaded up and broke up camp for the winter. Hindsight is 20x20. I love how the keyboard experts chime in and offer useless I knew more than you did...those in Cali may have desert runs to play...

Few more.

Some more pics.

Another continued COVid19 sheltering in place saga to further enhance the Jenny Big Hipped Beast! After hours of researching and asking questions, I finally chose the Mobile Rig that, in my case and application will be most useful and not needing to upgrade later; (ICOM ID-5100A). Also, the...

Well into another day of home/house arrest due to abundance of caution for CoVid19...I find myself having to continue on improving and tackling additional tweaks to the Jenny big hipped Beast. I held my breathe and stood on line at the local Home Depot. And didn’t want to drive too far for...

Couple more pics...

I decided that in my shelter in place/home activities include a tire rotation, brake pads inspection, wheel well cleaning and caliper painting.

FYI...I tested a piece of the insulation I bought with a lighter / open flame. It did not flare or burn. It melted where I actually tried to burn. It must have flame retardants in it bc I couldn’t get it to burn beyond where I kept constant flame on it. And still it would just melt and burn out...
