cb radio

what else would i need besides the cb radio and the antenna and dos anyone have a writeup on how to install I've been searching but cant find any

 

I think I posted a thread on here on how to install a CB. I found a video on youtube

 

can you gimmie the link i couldnt find it

 

what kind of equipment did you get?

 

you'll also need a coax cable to run from the antenna to the radio.....not sure if when you said "antenna" you meant the cable also?

but you'll also want to get an SWR meter, thats what you use to tune the antenna so it broadcasts better

 

i havent gotten it yet i wanna get one but im stuck between cb radio and light bar or icon reservoir rear shocks

 

Go to Google and type the following

Code:

Or just click this link

Hope that helps...

 

what kind of antenna you get depends on installation. If you get a magnet mount, it's pretty much plug & play. (minus calibration)

I use a magnet mount w/ my CB so I can take the stuff out of my truck when im not using it (which i rarely do)

 

anyone know where they have kits that i can get the cb magnetic antenna and everything else all at once

 

Amazon.com, radio shack, etc

i dont know if you can get it all "in a package". Just make sure you get the cb radio, and antenna, and a coax (if it's not attached to the antenna).

 

I'm using an old ass CB that's been in my dads garage for a billion years, and i bought a new antenna from radio shack. the combo works fine.

 

Not to hijack... But any ideas on how to mount without drilling into the plastic?

 

you can use the bedrail system to make a mount

 

Ahhh, still in the NO DRILL phase. Do you want it permanent or removable?

 

lol, the no drill phase. I have a 2m / 70cm ham rig I want to put in mine. Dude at the amateur radio supply place was like "yeah man, put an NMO mount in the roof." I'd had the truck for 1 month at that point and my response was, "yeah right!" I'm going to go with something I fab for a bed rail mount. It's pretty simple. Piece of metal stock, bend 90 degrees, 2 holes in the part that will be vertical to secure it to the bed rail, and one hole in the horizontal surface to mount the antenna through. It's pretty straightforward. I've thought about using steel angle and just spraying it with rustoleum.

Totally stole this from Silverback's build page:


Silverback's Tacoma Evolution

 

Would like it removable, but open to permanent if need be.

 

utilize your hitch receiver. or if you don't have towing package you should be able to get a ground off of the bumper towing holes.

 

I went to FRY's to get all my shit dude
