Steve G from Rugged Radios

[chunger]

Greetings, I do have a Ham license, but we typically use GMRS when just out cruising (hwy channel 19).

Interesting. I was at a show a while back and noticed one of the cars had a CB in it, I asked the owner about it, if it was useful, as I recall from the one time I dabbled in CB radio, back in the 90's, all the channels were super crowded and mostly noise. He told me that him and his buddy were usually the only ones on the channel (in southern California, too). Guess most ppl went online and now they're all on Facebook arguing. Anywho, he loved using CB's between his friends for roadtrips. Just like having a private radio channel.

I had a short run of chrome radios made to put in our old cars... just couldn't put a black radio under a chrome dash! haha.

Would love to see that!

Having radios while on road trips, cruising, etc, is next level. Yeah, we use cell phones, too, but for road tripping and cruising, there's no comparison to instant communications. We love it and hope to promote it in car culture... GRMS Channel 19 is the new highway channel.

Would love to see that!

I'll post up some photos. I've done two runs of chrome radios. I'm not super into chrome, but it's fitting when it comes to our classic cars. Nothing else seems right!

Good looking ride! I saw the title and recognized the company name since I'm familiar with Rugged through all of the Ultimate Adventure and Dirt Every Day exposure. Welcome aboard!

Greetings! Yes. Great stuff. If you ever meet Steve Bechard, ask him about his shoulder... sure to ruffle some feathers! haha!

I saw where some of the Drag and Drive guys are using Rugged Radios, any idea which one they are using?

Hey brother, was it Drag week? For those, a few people set up their cars with our single-seat kits into a headset. If I remember correctly, we also set up one of the cars with an intercom and headsets... basically, we set them up with systems so they could talk inside of and between their ridiculously loud cars.

Saw guys talking about it for Sick Week.

Here you go. We drew and 3d printed a bezel for it. Currently it's in two pieces, but the final will be printed in a single piece. Next up is the antenna... trying to decide where to put it.
