Some more CB info since now there is a suggestion to have one for FITS V. I know everyone is watching expenses during these tough times but I want to list what I paid / how I installed my present CB so if anyone without one may consider this path. I always brag about how "cheap" I can be so:
CB/antenna/coaxial cable, purchase from Flying J Truck stop, $120 Crossbar atop roof rails, purchase fro Home Depot, $8.00 Velcro, Walmart, $3.00
Removable CB unit Velcro-ed on right side between floor console and shotgun seat. Lighter adapter for power. The crossbar also serves as front bar on a Rola Rack installed on the roof so I really do not need to include total cost. Ham radio hobbiest Renstock got one of these bars installed for several antennas he uses on his KJ. The only real requirement on the CB radio was quality for a good price plus the feature of a front facing speaker since this unit is wedged between two objects. model Cobra 18WSXTII Only Mod now is to get a stronger antenna spring as the 20" stick I use gets real wobbly (using a tennis ball and Zipties for control). That Link is an excellent way to mount an antenna - I however through the years have always placed the base plane, bottom of antenna above driver's head and top of truck can act as base plane enhancement giving stronger signal.
