CB Radio MEET Install - MAY?2010 - Houston

I may come out. I have a old cb radio in the attic not sure if it is working. I would need an antenna. I have a park and also high school right down the street to if a place is needed. I will it down and check if it is working, and find out what else I need.

 

I think I am going to try and find a Cobra 75 WX... Just can't get used to the idea of permanent mounting the one I have now. Any know of any good deals? 99$ seems to be the norm.

 

lots of ideas and examples here.. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...install-your-thoughts-please.html#post1326389

 

What radio do you have now?
There is a few threads on posted locations on previous listing's.
On my cell phone, hard to post links flip back and forth

 

It was 14inches short.
MAH

 

More than welcome 16th is the day we are looking at.
If it's an older one, probably full size, like aftermarket in dash stereo unit,
it will very difficult to find mounting location, that looks decent within cab of truck.
MOST ITEMS;
some of us are placing a bluesea ST Blade Fuse Block pn#5025
some radio's have a PA system/horn install
CB: cobra 75 all in one, or compact cb, mutliple brands is what most have or order.
antenna
antenna mount ( I have bed rail mount for less 3$) pic look at my camera profile.
coax to fixed antenna mount- 3/8-24 thread / SO 239 to PL 259 (pic) $8 at Rsh@ck
coax cable aleast 18ft RG58 A/U cable ( I have a new one for sale for $20)

 

Yes I thought about putting mine there, but I going to a little tighter location.
to right of the steering wheel, one pocket befoe the center, within 4/5 inches of iginiton key.
I unsanpped the pocket, and it fits, unit is 1 inch out from bottom, the mic cord outlet is the only concern, the keys will rattle next to it.
On cell phone, no pics will have Friday to post.

Goodnight fellow taco's!

 

It is a fairly compact "radio shack" branded radio. It actually works pretty well, I just can't make up my mind where to mount it.

 

What's the nearest zip/Discount tire near ya?

 

What did think about cb mount loc?

 

3.7 miles

 

I am going to buy the Cobra 75 wx, and do this..

 

I like that set-up, It is very clean Sam. I also like how Broker mounted his in the center console.

 

I haven't seen Brokers... that pic is from Krookz.

 

thanks rob, i just still need to do something about the wire getting pinched by the converter

sam, its on the first page

 

Yeah, see that is what I was going to do with the one I have now, but decided against it. I have a ton of JUNK in my center console and digging the MIC out when I need to use it is not going to work for me. and... I need all the Junk!

 

i keep the mic in the glove box. ive got way to much stuff in there too. i only plug the mic in when ever i actually use the cb

 

Yeah, the zip
need to call to see if they got some stones for my truck

 

2832 YMCA Drive, Pearland, TX‎ 77581- (281) 412-6070‎

 

thanks!!
yeah, thats the store I picked, good they have my stones in stock,
remember the name Bruce is the salesman placed on layaway to hold them, so they don't sell.
