no i meant meant them commodore and falcon utes like the ones they call ferals or something like that, they must think there in a mack truck or something u would need the v8 in it just to push the ridiculous bullbar on the front but yeh if u are one of those u would be, and i thought of am radios but u can buy the one unit thats has both...

I'm dead sexy in my beaut ute :D

Cameron McKenzie, a workmate, is only 19, but already onto his fifth ute. With its dents and dirt, the 1997 VS Holden qualifies as a feral, but Mr McKenzie plans to spend thousands turning it into a prize-winning show ute called White Line Fever. He also has a girlfriend with her own ute and plans to keep getting uted for the rest of his life. "I love them. I've always said I'd be in one till the day I die."


He doesn't sound any different than most of the ferals on here. ;)

Cameron bought that ute off me.
I built it in 2002 and for 18 months
won prizes at every ute show it entered.

At the time it was the best ute going
around but after many years of
doing the whole BnS & Ute show
thing I was sick of not being able
to drive it in driving
events ( very hard to do at ute shows these days because of public liablity).

So I sold it and bought another 4x4.
Ultimately theres stuff all differance
between 4x4ers and BnSer's.
Both spent sh!t loads of money on
cars that you will never get back in
order to have fun driving them.

/ back on topic/

I use 2 UHF radio's when
traveling in a group over long distances.

1st one is on channel 40 so
you can hear trucks talking and
you get alot of info on whats
around ( cops, accidents,
road closures, etc ) and the
other on another channel so
you don't clog up channel 40.

To be honest I haven't had it hooked up in the 4by for over a year now, and when I did it was for UHF (channel 23). I can't say I ever really tried the 27meg on it yet.

I don't think there would be much traffic on there these days.

yeh i wish

and them bullbars on them 2wd utes would still be intact but i doubt the shit its bolted up to would be its still just a 2wd commodore that bullbar would be that close to the windscreen after a decent hit
there not made for it
