Re Stablizer. Mine is a Blue-Ox True Center Updated version with time out timer. and yes it is properly installed I have verified installation.
THE BLUE OX.. and optionally the Safe-T-Steer (it's aon option on the STS) have a feature I very much wanted.. A BUTTON. in my case it's next to me on the 2-way radio bar (Explain down post) and I push it it "Unlocks" the device so I can re-center.. If I'm dealing with say a 30 MPH cross wind or a HIgh Dome roadway I can adjust for it.. Then re-center back to normal later.
The radio bar.. A 2x4 or 2x6.. Forget which. Tapered a bit on one edge. Stained and polished and bolted to studs in teh side wall. I then mount 3 different 2 way radios on it. 2 CB's (one on 13 on on 19) and a 2mtr/70CM ham rig (Currently an ICOM ID-5100 but it is not yet mounted Don't have the right bolts).
That way i do not need to be careful about hitting studs with the mounting brackets. Kind of a horizontal stud.
