I've got a few things I want/need to do anyway so might as well make it look a bit prettier in the process.
gonna finally finish my switch panel for the compressor and ARB switches as well

I think you should hook up your CB
Could be handy for the drive up if we can talk and good when we are there if some of us go off to do something and others stay at camp.

I haven't got a lead or aerial

maybe I could nick my dads, will try and find it tomorrow!
Painted the inside of my bonnet, sorted my alternator (well got it working again for the 10th time

) and made my switch panel, now I just need to get some bearing pullers so I can build up my ARB and then save for a front one

No bother. Mount may need adjusting to fit. Sure you are capable of doing that without blacking an eye or losing a finger.
I will sort a CB out for mine one day. Never bothered since i lost that one on ebay. Might add that to tomorrows list of things to do. Visit the CB shop. Its next to the alloy wheel repair man and various engineering places.

It'll probably end up in the glove box or tucked up in the top section of the dash as I have no cold air blowers up there, I don't like going through really deep water anyway as I like to keep my arse dry
