I am looking to buy a CB but don't know where to go locally to get one. Any advice or direction would be helpful.
Thanks.
walmart and meijer both cary the cheapy cobra's. that's what ive always used and most of the club uses. for coax cables, mounts, and such go to radio shack. you can get radio's there too but they only carry the expensive big ones
What area do you live in? Just about any truck stop you find off the highway will carry CB's
Cobra Ultra IV, 40 bucks at Walmart, talks out really well..
For antenna, I would recommend a Firestick 2 with Tunable Tip, in whatever length you want. Radioshack carried the mirror mount bracket that can be used to mount the antenna to your bumper or back of your jeep. I have my bracket mounted above my rear tail light, as dose a couple other ppl on here, it works really well.
Once you get a CB, antenna and some wire, give me a shout and we can get you all tuned up.
http://www.copper.com/cart/ (http://www.copper.com/cart/) these guys are awesome the cb chop my old cb tech worked ordered all there stuff from them
For a short-term fix come see me - John recently returned one of my 3 hand-helds, so I have all 3 plus a magnetic antenna I can let you borrow too until you get a permamnent one. They work good, just a little clumsy to use.
Cody has the right idea. Thats what I have. Works like a charm.
I have still not found a place to mount a antenna on the JK. I have a cheap magnet one but it doesnt stay on very well. I also have the cheap Cobra cb from wal-mart.
i'm sure neil and i can come up with something for ya alice
before you go out and buy one new, check with Chris and see if we have one lying around here you can have. I think I picked one up at an auction cheap, but I don't know if we still have it, if it was sacrified to save another, or if it even works. Worth a call or PM though just to find out.
Alice... I have a place that sells the mount for the JK. I will find the link and email it to you.
Thank you everyone for the help.
Can you send it to me too? I think that's about the only mod I'm allowed to make to the JK! :roll:
send it to me also so i can copy it :D
Try //www.cooltechllc.com. In the upper right corner you will find the link to the Jeep products.

I bet it can be done in 15 minutes. Whos gonna bring a JK over for me to make the first one?
Call me in the morning. I should be around most of the day and this weekend.

Think this will work for you Mike? Might have to make 1 for Alice as well.

Looks good. I will get in touch to get together.
Neil does that require any drilling or does it use existing holes? Also where does it go?

Alice,
It uses two of the holes and screws for the spare tire mount. Neil measured it for the upper right side of the spare tire
Thanks. I get a little nervous about drilling new holes.
You want one also Alice?
Yes, if it will fit with the bigger tire. I still don't understand where it goes. But if you don't have to drill any holes lets do it.
Pretty sure it will fit with the tire you have. I would have to look though.
no new holes just go's behind two existing bolts on the tire carrier
