Well...
I am Slowly Upgrading my Viagra I mean my Vitara and I am I want to know what you would do as the next upgrade as they all cost around the same...

(All prices are fitted)
Snorkel : $660
Extractors : $460
UHF/CB with 4db Antenna : $590

I am just not sure what I should do first...
my Priority is to get the security done first as I wanna keep my Vitara where I park it but what would you do as the next upgrade?

[waxhead]

I think all of those items could be had for considerably cheaper amounts, and I would put the CB first, or even suspension upgrage.

[casper]

id say the UHF that probably the best one outta those 3

[Fluffy]

im considering a uhf for my first "upgrade"but would rather a

handheld not too sure yet but gotta do more research

[royce]

depending on what you want to do with it the most

is you do a lot of beach driving with mates then the UHF
if you drive through lots of deep water then the snorkel

if you have $500 odd to burn look at putting it to some nice suspension or better tires

[ODA1]

I would get extractors, make the biggest change to your every day life... with the Vit.

If you don't drive in a convoy (eg. go out with a club), the UHF is not much value. I've got a UHF in mine plus a couple of 0.7 Watt Uniden Handhelds in the door pocket that cost me $100 for the pair). The handhelds are great for spotting and guiding and work fine for club convoy purposes as well.

The old car mounted UHF I got cost me nothing, but I bought a good antenna ($125). If funds are tight, go some hand helds in the 0.7-1 Watt range, grab a compatible cigarette plug power supply from Jaycar so you can charge them while on the move, fix the rest and come back to the UHF set.

There is lots of things you can do before the snorkel. (I'll get one, one day). Can't comment about the extractors, mine came with them.

Cheers

Well it is getting security upgrade first..

I will surf around for a decent UHF but have no Idea what to look for..

[BLZUK]

Gme TX3220 would be my suggestion

[ODA1]

I had a 97 coil sierra stock that i would drive up the cost all the time and if i hit a head wind i could not push past 95 in the 110 zone then once i got the extractors she drove 10 times better and i now could do 115 into the wind on the freeway no troubles, i say get extractors first as they will make a difference every time you turn the key!!

If looking for a UHF, have a gander at Prestige Communications. They have bundled deals (unit and aerial) which are cheaper then everywhere else I've found. I'm looking at buying a bundled kit as my handheld ins't very good even on club runs due to the hilly country. I think that's due to the stubby/crappy aerial. The fact that it's 0.5w isn't too bad.

I was thinking about mounting the aerial on the cross bar (roof rack) to get the best reception.

[magnat]

Yeah I have a .5watt Uniden Handheld but mainly use it for when your guiding people... has SFA range so I am looking at least a 5 watter with a 4db aerial...

[Fluffy]

im looking at an 5 watt one off ebay bout $170 duznt seem too bad considering a uniden or icom is wll over $300

hey i would nearly be able to get moss vegas from here with a 5 watt hahaha

[dj181]

that one is actually manufactured by FEIDAXIN i had a look around for some reviews and specs and for what u want it looks quite good

[joshNZ]

go the uhf mate,it would be the beta one of all,ud have to be doin really deep creek crossings to need a snorkel,and the extractors would be the biggest waste of money ud hardly be able to feel any diff in power if any
