    Yes Sir. The connector is in the center console so I can plug it in when I need it.

    There are a ton of cheap options, and from my research cheaper isn't really a problem. Almost all CBs operate at 4 watts so as long as it's installed properly and tuned well they'll all work. The cost goes up with added features, so depending on how often you plan on using it you likely don't need to shell out the extra cash. I got my first one from Walmart for like $30 but you'll need to get a good antenna and mounting bracket and a coax cable. All in all can be done with all new parts for under $100. First figure out where you want to put it and how much space your willing to let it take up. Then you can decide on which bells and whistles you think You'll want.

    I have an extra firestick antenna I may be willing to barter on as well if your interested

    Check out this link and the rest of the learning section if you want to know more about it. It's one of the better resources I've found https://www.rightchannelradios.com/blogs/selection-guides/18428347-common-purchasing-mistakes

    We've probably passed by each other a fee times on 1431. My truck is the silver one with the snorkel. I have the soft top on every once and a while. And yeah, I go to the Golds in CP, usually get there around 520. Cars and coffee is this Sunday, I'm hoping to be there. I may have some business cards by then as well.

    If you need a tune, I've got an SWR and my place is pretty decently opened area for good tuning.

    I've bumped into him at RBFCU he's a cool dude. One vehicle is his the other is his wife's ride (maybe his son I can't remember). We talked about RTT's and stuff.

    I've got my old 4' wilson antenna if you want it. I couldn't get it grounded right, but it worked fine for short range transmission.

    Clean looking install there! The wiring/switches for my new lights should be here this week, as well as a @CaliRaisedLed relay holder for the engine bay. Excited to get that all set up :)
