i don't know. cb's aren't factory. so you never know where the PO ran the wires.
my guess is probably under the dash to the fuse box, or i know on tj's, there are two live leads behind the fuse box. one switched.

if you can't find where the PO ran the wires, why not just rewire it to the fuse box yourself.

i wouldn't go straight to the battery, you will get noise.

Run under the dash with a spade connector tapped into an empty fuse slot.

hey thanks everyone. I wanted to run it to the bat but decided to go to the cig lighter.

First time doing this but it turned out great.

Today I installed a CB, Fire extinguisher mount, painted most of the visible under body, and got my center caps for my wheels. Dang Im wiped! Being over 100 degrees out did it I think.
