    Howdy,

    I am super inexperienced with the world of CB radios. I searched but didn't really find what I was specifically looking for. Essentially I'm wanting to get a Uniden 520xl and get everything I need to make it work. I want to mount the Antenna on my ARB bumper. I have a first gen tacoma so I have the little mounts on the top part of the bumper.

    I need help finding specifically what kind of antenna i will need along with what kind of mounting hardware and coax? I'm thinking 3 foot firestik (

    and a 9 ft cable? but which one and what kind of mounting hardware will I need?

    I've done much research on the subject but I just am overwhelmed at the amount of options.

    Thank you so much for your help.
