Outer Limits 4x4 Board

might sound stupid but can anyone tell me why i have seen some 4x4s with 2 separate uhf radios in there car???wat is the point of this it... is it to have an extra arial or somthing on the bullbar like them wankers with the commodore utes with the truck bullbars ,20 spotties and 30 arials that are 5 meaters high or something(bit over exagerated but if u no wat utes im talking about u will get the idea)..or is there another reason.. and yeh for some reason them commodore and falcon utes annoy me, how tough can they really be (2wds),get a 4b

Are you sure they are UHF?

I have AM (SSB) & UHF in mine.

I have two units...
One is a UHF & Scanner
The other is a UHF and AM CB
I also own a SS ute.

I am a wanker!

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...

u will find they have NO radios in them...... its all a wank

yeh i was thinking wat could they possibly need that many arials for and im pretty sure i seen one with mine flag poles with no flag, it annoys me everytime i see them

some people probably think the same thing about jacked up 4b's with big tyres on them

yeh but a jacked up 4x4 with bigger wheels has a purpose

I'm dead sexy in my beaut ute

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.

Not lacal, there it still a bit of SSB stuff going on.

i use a dual bander (vhf/uhf) and the kenwood uhf in the GU
usually have the icom scanning around other frequencies while i use the kenwood to talk in convoy etc...

want to no how tuff, lets c your car take down 3-4 big 6 foot bunnys on the way home and not have to repair anything!

yeh i still reckon the feral 2wd ford falcon and the holden dunnydoor utes are still gay as.........yeh real tough probaby wouldnt evan get up a steep hill in the wet with the weight of that stupid bullbar over the front.

mate only 6 foot probably could just about drive over them without them touching i got that much clearance in my 4be..............not

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

they dont evan have a chassis like 4x4s cant see it bolting up any where that would crumple the car in a crash because them cars are designed to do that but yeh looks real cool

real cool

YEAH
