Jeep build quality has gone to the pooper. They put the controls on teh wrong side of your KJ!

Seriously, though

I have some old Cobra thing screwed to my console. Good'nuff for the girls I go with.

Isnt 4W max allowable by "the Man"? :roll: :roll:


4 watts is allowable yes :roll: but whats the fun in that? :shock: I have been running CBs since back in the 70s and have never had one that was under 35 to 40 watts, soon as I buy one it goes in for a peak and tune, plus also used to run a little "kicker" of another 100 watts just in case I wanted to get out there and touch someone :twisted:

We installed a Connex General. With limited room to mount on the Liberty... we chose this option and it has worked well for us. We used Industrial Velco to mount on left side of Steering wheel. This points the speaker right toward you and close to electrical connections. Later we mounted the Mic on the Right side of the Steering Wheel. We home made this antenna mount which we really like because it doesn't hit our garage upon entry and also allows complete use of rear flipper window. Please feel free to email us for more detailed photos.

I still can't decide what CB setup to go with. I am 6'3" so room is sparse in the KJ around my knees and since I have my Ipod Touch setup on my dash and my GPS above the wheel, I am not sure where to go with it. I haven't picked one up yet for this reason. Any ideas for a real small compact setup and where to put it? It doesn't have to be the best CB either, just enough to contact others on the trail. Also I can't stand the CB antennas that are huge and have to be bent over so they don't whip around. In this one special case, smaller is better. :D :wink:

We took the Tail Light out. Bent straight bar to angle to fit the curves of light well then screwed it into the sheet metal and ran a ground wire just for giggles. We notched out the just enough of the top of the light to allow the light to be installed back with the bracket in place. It's working well for us.
