i just have a handheld, i want a galaxy thoughh, there awesomee

 

i got a uniden bearcat 68 series its just like the cobra 29 but a little cheaper i got it for 60 on ebay brand new and they are still able to get all the mods on them if your into that i love mine and you can even get the one with the swr meter internally... check out any truck stops in your area if you have any they usually go on sale pretty cheap

 

[QUOTE=ol'DixieJeep;1371413]firesticks arent adjustable. a wilson fiberglass whip has an adjustable tip.

All firesticks are tunable.

move your light up about a foot and a half and mount your cb towards the winsheild between were your visors would be... sweet looking cage btw

 

maybe thats a speaker lol idk i cant really see it to well on my phone , anyway what im tryn to say is ... youve got a cage , put the cb up top !

 

A turned up Cobra 29, or Uniden 68/78.

 

did you do it yourself? and what all did you do to yours? i wish i knew how to do it myself i still want to go a bit higher than what i have now but havnt wanted to spend the money yet

 

I have those small unidens in our 980 loaders and excavators at work, they hold up great and are cheap, firestick tunable antenae and spring and you are set

 

anyone have any experience from a cobra 19?
my buddy has one that he will pretty much give me, or should I just get a 29? that is kinda what im leaning towards

 

Cobra 19 is a good radio, if he's giving it away and it works then take it lol. But if you want something bigger then go for the cobra29. Its all in what you want to do with it.

 

I want something that works...I plan on using it on trails...thats about it.
i hate yelling out my windows at my buddies or constantly calling them.
I just want something cheap that works pretty much

 

Same here i primarily use my cobra 19 on the trail, its small and it works good with a p.a.. On the road its alright too

 

If you can get the 19 for free then take it. From the factory it's going to put out the same amount of power as any other standard cb and when you are just talking to the rig right in front of you range isn't that big an issue. Besides there's not a lot of room in an xj and a compact radio will be easier to mount. Also ol'dixiejeep brought up a good point. You want to use a full 18' section of coax and stuff the excess (don't coil it).

 

x2 if your just using it for trail riding then that cobra 19 will be fine , isnce your saving money on a radio you can buy a decent antenna , like everyone else has said firesticks will be the way to go if your looking for a cheap setup , my wilson 1000 is a fender mounted unit and is great but it wasnt that cheap

 

i have my radio mounted on the side of the center console , its loud enough i dont need a ext speaker and its not in any ones way
