cb setup for my tacoma!!!

after talking with canuckinsc this evening, im starting to think about getting a decent cb setup for my tacoma......nothing real expensive, but something that will work for times like when we are off roading at uwharrie!!

anyone got any info/advice and whatnot??

i was thinking about a cobra from walmart....relatively cheap, and i'd need a good antenna too.

 

That's basically what I got, cheap, but effective. I have a 4' Firestick II antenna.

 

I personally like the Cobra 75WX ST ($90 at Amazon.com). It's very small so it wont take up a lot of space in the cab. For antennas, Firestik.

I can't recall which CB it is, but I know a lot of people have put a CB in their ashtrey in the first gens, I'll search TTORA for a pic for ya later.

 

Chad....do you have a thread or anything posts maybe, that are pertaining to that?? i have searched a bit, but it didnt turn up anything.

 

cool...thanks bud!

 

Check out this Thread, Will, it's got some stuff on it.

i may do about the same exact thing hodgey!! i like your setup, after having seen it all up close!

 

some more ideas and pics. Good luck.

 

thanks for the link man!! so.........how do you go about setting up the cb?? honestly, never heard of doing that before......and its probably because the ones i have installed in golf carts, never did it.

 

sounds goo bro...just let me know!!

 

i LOVE how you guys are keeping the ol 27 MHZ band alive and the kiker is you actually have an important application for it rather than just shootn the sht hey neph as you know any help with SWR adjustment or whatnot I am happy to help too!

 

hey uncle frank.........i appreciate it!!! i'll need all the help i can get, as i know absolutey nothing about cb's, except the ones i have installed in golf carts. i can install and wire them, but setting them up.....its all greek to me!!

 

hey we'll git er done besides I am sure Hodgey and the others have a matched setup? If not I can help there too

 

awesome!! and yeah, im pretty sure hodgey's current setup is matched, and i may end up with it!!

 

I have the Cobra from walmart as well. Here's a link for it. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4642484 And then I'm running two 3 foot antennas a buddy of mine bought himself and me some off of ebay for pretty cheap in a set both the antennas, the mounting brackets and screws for that and then the coax, although i had to go to radio shack and get an extender, they aren't the best but they don't do too bad, especially for what you're wanting them for.

 

thanks for the link man!
