nice man. looks good. once i figure out my electrical short problem, I want to install a cb. For a good setup, what would I be looking at cost wise, and what would I need? I have an 86 MJ

less than 100 bucks for the radio,about 40 bucks for the antenna and fittings including the spring,if you are gonna run a 102" whip you will NEED a heavy duty spring,no bull****,get it,the mount was about 3 bucks worth of steel and some playing,coax you get buy the foot,depends on where you are,i bought 15 feet of 5/8 coax,7 bucks.Havent had a chance to talk to anyone on it yet,not much cb traffic where i am.If you have any questions i would be glad to assist.
