Part #:
I have used lots of CB in the past and really loved a few that I had. Well with the new TJ's space is at a premium and I didn't want to make the interior any more inviting for those that just can't keep their hands off of things. I looked around at all the CB's and even tried to test fit a few into the vehicle. I saw a few articles about cutting the center console so that they would fit, and more about mounting it up on the roll bar. I saw the Cobra 75wx in an ad and later found it on a few websites. All the controls in the handset, and a box that remains hidden behind or below stuff. The best thing is that you can buy extra boxes and mount them in your other vehicles. That way you only need to move the handset from vehicle to vehicle. The Rubi just isn't good on real long trips. That's why I have a ZJ. Most of the club outing that I have ever been require a CB radio to keep in contact. Now with the limited space that comes standard with every Jeep the question arises where to put one. There are all sorts of great products out there to mount a CB radio to.
Additional

Needed: Drill Flat tip screwdriver Pliers or small adjustable wrench #1 Phillips/ Prince & Reed screwdriver File or Dremel |
Mic: This just screws in to the connector and then ends up lying in my cup holder. I also have a FRS radio that I take off-road, so I use that most of the time when I am in a small group. |
Speaker:
I haven't installed one of these yet. I still need to figure
out where I want to put one and then find one that will suit my purposes.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
