Right now my CB is located to the right of the center column, right in front of the passenger seat. It works very well there for my uses.

Great thread. I was going to be doing a couple CB installs on my two cherokees and I was curious of the same thing.

What kind of CB's do you guys use or suggest brand wise without breaking the bank?

Wanna get one myself but barely have any cash on these days with the price of gas, and what little money I do have is going towards a lift and new tires. What would be the cheapest place to get a 1/2way decent CB.

Walmart back in the audio section has a little black corba. They are a nice CB for the money we had one in mom's old mustang.

Check the Pawn shops too. Mine was bought a few years back for $12.50 at a pawn shop. Spent more on antennas than the radio.
