Thanks Nick, that was good.Great aerial placement too. I find with 12V wiring, after stripping the end I twist the sheath a little before pulling it off completely and that wraps the wire strands so they stay together and don't end up with a single strand sticking out waiting for the opportunity to blow the fuse.
pro tip: If you are wanting to have power when your ignition is on, use a relay attached to an accessory wire under the ignition, can also be found with the stereo, this won't use much load so don't worry about it blowing the stereo fuse, and on the other side of the relay you can have the direct power to the battery and leading that to the CB radio (slap a fuse under the bonnet for it) and now your radio will be powered on whenever your ignition is on and won't drain the battery when the starter motor kicks on for the second.
This is the best walk-through/install video I have seen..... The tips that you give regarding usability are so well thought through (i.e. extra length of cable in case bull bar needs to come off / positioning of handset cable so it doesn't get in the way)... brilliant!! I'll be making good use of your tips when doing my install! Thank You.
Good video Nick, but ask your passenger what they think about looking thru a "bloody great Telephone pole" as they look forward... Far better option for touring is the "five eighth over a half " wavelength antenna, around 4.5 Dbi. Two construction types, fibreglass but I much preferred the wire construction, fitted hundreds over a long installation career, and become " invisible" after a very short time looking forward. Also you very nearly bend your bull bar before those big springs flex.....Just some food for thought for your viewers..
Going out to see where I can put mine in the Colorado... Good video once again, Nick. BTW, got that Provent catch can from Western Filters installed yesterday.
Good video with some great commonsense tips for installation. I bought myself one at Christmas time but haven't had the time to install it but will do, taking onboard some of your ideas.
Hi Nick, Does the antenna have to be grounded to the bull bar or not? Because I see there is quite a good coating of paint on the antenna where it gets mounted/screwed onto the bull bar bracket. Thanks
Nice to see you have a decent crimp tool, but you used the wrong jaw. You should have the blue crimp in the blue jaw, red in red jaw and yellow in the yellow. That way the correct tension is applied ensuring a good mechanical joint. P.S. I am a 40 year RAAF trained Avionics tech.
I brought my cable for the hand piece out underneath the climate control as there is a small gap underneath. The cable against my leg got quiet annoying.
Thanks for showing the installation process. I'm going to attempt this myself. How long do you think it would have taken you all up? I've decided to go with the GME XRS-370C4P. Will let you know how it goes. Cheers
Thanks alot! I've never been a big mitsubishi fan but that's just me personally. I'd recommend taking all of the 4wds your considering for a test drive and pick the one you like the best. 😊
Excellent vid! Any tips running the cabling through centre console area up to the unit? Going to put a light bar on soon and willhopefully route it a similar way! Cheers
Hey Nick. Thanks for the information on this unit. I have been looking to get a UHF for a while now and I really like the dual channel feature. Out of curiosity, what tyres have you been using and have you had any issues with any particular brand. I still have original tyres but they will be up for replacement soon.
Hey Kelly! Im running Atturo Trailblade M/T tyres. They are a great offroad tyre, i havnt had any punctures. They are really noisy on the road though and slippery in the wet. I will try another brand of tyres next, probably toyo or falken.
Nick, where did you get yours from? I thought you might be running with a coupon/discount code, like with the X9 throttle controller...so far eBay is the best radio and antenna, $602.
I got mine directly off the Oricom website. They do have sales going on, so i would keep an eye out over the next month on there facebook page. Or send them a message on there website saying that you saw my video and what your after and I'm sure they would price match or give you a good deal 😊
Hey Nick, that was great thanks ! 15 months on , how have found the Oricom unit, has it been reliable and user friendly ? I am about to purchase a uhf unit for my Colorado and have read a few mixed reviews of the Oricoms . I really like the look of this unit and your channel look great ! Tim...
I hate when people call an antenna an aerial. They are not the same thing. Aerials are only receive, like am/fm radio or TV. Antennas receive and transmit, like the uhf Antenna.

Thanks alot for the feedback and for watching 😊

Mhan i like your videos since you're the only one i saw who is very enthusiastic with our beloved MUX

Thank you very much for watching and the feedback 😊
Perfect timing, I have a similar model on order. Detachable handset was critical so it can not take up any visible space when I don't need it.

Going out to see where I can put mine in the Colorado... Good video once again, Nick. BTW, got that Provent catch can from Western Filters installed yesterday.

The antenna doesnt need to be grounded.
I would like to suggest my installation option (watch video in four parts)

Hey Nick, Been enjoying your videos. Thinking about buying a new 4x4 - What do you think about Pajero sport ? Keep up the great work mate
Thanks alot! I've never been a big mitsubishi fan but that's just me personally. I'd recommend taking all of the 4wds your considering for a test drive and pick the one you like the best. 😊
Excellent vid! Any tips running the cabling through centre console area up to the unit? Going to put a light bar on soon and willhopefully route it a similar way! Cheers
I just tucked it up under the side of the plastic trim. You can easily tuck it up there.
Great vid mate. 3 sets of ads, not so great.
Hey mate,cheers for the install and review.
Dose the Ariel package come with the uhf or do you purchase separately?
👍
Hey Nigel! It needs to be purchased separately. 👍
Where did you buy the extension cable from?
Hi Nick
What model town and country antenna was it that you used ? Thanks
jolie video de vous la

Great video but PLEASE from where we can buy that beautiful antenna?
Thanks, it is an Oricom antenna. If you google oricom you should be able to find your nearest dealer.
@@LowRangeNick thanks allot for that
Hey Nick, that was great thanks ! 15 months on , how have found the Oricom unit, has it been reliable and user friendly ? I am about to purchase a uhf unit for my Colorado and have read a few mixed reviews of the Oricoms . I really like the look of this unit and your channel look great ! Tim...
Hi Tim, I really like my oricom radio and aerial kit. It has been going great! I have just upgraded to the DTX4200X which is their new radio.
@@LowRangeNick Thanks mate ...
Now fit it in a sedan please.
I hate when people call an antenna an aerial. They are not the same thing. Aerials are only receive, like am/fm radio or TV. Antennas receive and transmit, like the uhf Antenna.
