    TW most definitely has nearly tripled my budget for truck mods. But if I can save money on one mod, I can make future mods present mods!

    Got impatient and decided to order a few minutes ago. The 42" Gun Guard case was down to $57.98 and with the $10 off, it was hard to pass. After tax, the total came to $52.66 and I find that to be reasonable. The delivery date is stated as June 9-28, however, I have a feeling it will be arriving sooner. I was quite impressed with how well this seemed to work. Hopefully there will be other products in the future that will have similar results.

    For the money these are decent raidos(PRO520XL), and they don't take up much space. It'll work loads better and cost less.

    $67 Uniden PRO520XL Pro Series 40-Channel CB Radio. Compact Design. ANL Switch and PA/CB Switch. 7 Watts of Audio Output and Instant Emergency Channel 9. - Black
    https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product...c-425a-aee8-c82daa7b18ed&pf_rd_i=desktop&th=1

    This is what I run. Its twice the size and money, but it also has more features.

    $125 Uniden BEARCAT 880 CB Radio with 40 Channels and Large Easy-to-Read 7-Color LCD Display with Backlighting, Backlit Control Knobs/Buttons, NOAA Weather Alert, PA/CB Switch, and Wireless Mic Compatible

    YES, I have yet to meet anyone that could reach out more than a half mile (often less) with one.

    I also recommend getting any radio "tweak and peak" tuned by a good CB shop. That will vastly improve the performance of your radio.

    This will be my first CB. What's an ideal size antenna? I was looking at Firestik 4 feet.

    Don't waste your money get a compatible Wilson or hustler also make sure your CB is set up for SSB (single side band) the Bearcats 980 is my top pick for sure or a galaxy or even better an export if you don't mind bending the laws a little . Make sure to research radios very much lol

    That'll work fine. I had a 4' mounted on the corner of my tailgate, and I could reach out a mile or so on the tight trails.
