The man in Brown stopped by today!

So Mr. Ups stopped by with these today.
Mine's the cobra 18, and the cobra 19 is my buddies.
we both got the firestik 3' antenna. Installing tomorrow!

 

niceee i have the 18 in mine

 

How much did you pay for just one set??? cb, antenna, and mount???? i have been debating on getting one myself

 

go to www.rightchannelradios.com
and pick whatever you want, i think it was about 100-125 total. best prices i've found, great shipping rates and speed.

 

I only got the 9 foot Coax. and I'm gona run it from the dash to the bed.. Now that i see the cable I'm not sure it'll reach! anyone done it with 9 feet?

 

x2 I've been thinking about it myself.

 

Ill have to check it out.... i used to have one in my old toyo but it got sold with the truck....

 

i ran mine to the front part of my bed....i ran it under the carpet and all...it took every bit of 15 ft....but i have a DC so you could probly get by with 9

 

well hopefully! it's going to the front corner of the bed. i guess we'll see tomorrow!

 

are you gonna hook it up through the outlet or you gonna wire it in your fuse box?

 

just dont do like they did in Joyride..lol

 

candddyyy caneeee hahaha

 

for power? to the battery was the plan. would you suggest fuse box?

 

anyone done 9 foot cable first gen ext cab? dash to front of bed

 

nice, ild like to have one for my taco too! im going to check out the site!

 

its up to you....i ran my hot wire to the fuse box in the dash....turned out nice i thought.

 

Sweet. I have the 18 in my taco. I get really good reception. Bestplace to buy accessories is a truck stop.

 

x2 they have all kinds of cool stuff for them at truckstops

 

OH MY GOD! making the 9 foot coax cable reach was retarded! 10-11 feet would have been amazing, but it works! pics tomorrow!

 

trust me.... I'm an electrician first of all......don't hook it up to your fuse box. hook it up to your battery. If you hook it up to your fuse box, you will get all sorts of interference from your ecu, fuel pump, alternator, etc. If you hook it up to your battery, you will get considerably less interference and more performance. Also..... don't just coil your excess coax cable under your carpet in a circular shape... if will act as a RF choke. Take a couple of tie wraps and wrap it up like a figure 8. make sure your cable crosses each other at a 90 degree angle if you know what I mean.... as in a figure 8. get your radio tune also. Your stock cb ONLY puts out a whopping 4 watts. I have a uniden pc78 elite putting out 20 watts. Stock wattage= 3-4 miles TX------ 15-20 watts= 20+ miles. You WON'T be sorry you tuned your radio. Or if you want, leave your radio at stock wattage and get an linear if you like. Hope this helps.
