I decided to go with the Cobra 75wxst, because I only use the CB on long road trips or when out wheeling. Outside of that, I didn't want CB hardware/box out in the open (for aesthetic reasons). When not in use, the mic/speaker is unplugged from a port under the glove box dash, and stowed away...

I have the cobra 75, generic 18' of coax, terrAflex spare tire antennae mount, firestick quick disconnect and firefly antennae. I highly recommend the firefly antennae regardless of which cb you choose. It has the coils tighter at the top and was able to cut my swr by 1 full point.

Just dont go too big or crazy with a CB. You will mostly use it when wheelin only,Which is a HUGE thing. You dont have to get out very far, just want it to be clear Transmitting & Recieving! I like the Wilson stainless ant. cause it bends and doesnt break!!!

just my "two cents"

Thinking about a wrenching Party next sunday.... I just ordered new Chromoly axles. Both of my rears are bent again. Im waiting to find out for sure if they will be here next week or not. Assuming they are here does any one want to make the drive out? anyone have anything they are wanting to instal?
