CB Radio MEET Install - MAY?2010 - Houston

I have seen some plastic (or maybe rubber) plugs in the back of the cab. I might cut the end off the coax and slide it through with a grommet. Would like someone that knows what they are doing crimp a new one on though..

wow i'd totally go if it was in my area. This is what i'm doin this weekend anyway. I gotta tune my cb too...

 

I bought a All in one Cobra Cb...Hopefully it comes in the mail this week. Im gonna install it, So when I go the meet, We will have an extra pair of hands to help.

 

much nicer than what i put together. i might want one....

 

Yours will cost the most, because it's more complicated than that. Also depends on the question's level of difficulty, how easily understood the questions is, and how many times it is asked even after the question is answered. hahaha, price depends on location, weather, time of day and mood.

 

I knew I saw this somewhere before... Check out this CB mount on his build..

That looks good!!!!!!!!!!
Make some contact, and find out more details for us.
One contact from one of us, is better than all of us asking the same Q's.

He only had one pic of the cb, but I like that a lot.

 

ok, inquired!

 

Read twice, looked at his truck 100 times over.

This all I found from his post... Close up on the CB, would be very helpful.

There is only three small Cobra's model like, 19 DX IV Compact CB Radio,
18 WX ST II with SoundTracker® and NOAA Weather, Cobra 20 XTR Xtreme Street.
He went a compact Cb, guessing because of location.


HIS CB: SNOBOARDER
I bought the Cobra CB from www.claysradioshop.com with the peak and tune option, plus 18’ of high quality coax cable. I bought the Wilson Flex from www.wearecb.com along with the AR1A matchmaker. The excess cable is in a serpentine pattern inside the truck and not coiled. I fabricated a custom mount for the Wilson 3’Flex antenna to install in to the OEM antenna mast mount. The antenna bends up to 180 degrees. I cut, spliced and soldered my CB antenna cable to a short lead I left behind on the factory antenna mast under the fender. I did have to use the built in grounding wire to lower the impedance to improve the SWR down to 1.5:1. I have a Firestick ARA1 Matchmaker splitter (not installed yet) to receive AM/FM signals through the CB antenna plus a DC power noise filter. The CB is bolted to a metal flange behind the over head console with 2 bent L brackets. I think it is kick-ass having the CB mounted up there. It is easy access, out of the way and very easy to use on and off the trail. The mic is on a retractable cable and I can wedge a mic clip between the console and roof liner to secure it if I wanted to. [/quote]

 

any decision on a date yet?

 

I was waiting on you guys.. LOL

 

thats how i have mine wired to the outside. i looks alrite but was kinda in a hurry when i did it. i need to go back and drill a bigger hole so the wire fits snugly in stead of pinched in the rubber gasket. i didnt have drop of water come inside my truck since. even after the alto meet. where are the plugs in the back of the cab?

 

I kinda screwd the closing date of the poll up,
the poll end this friday or? where is Deathstalker on this?

Does any body else want to throw thier hat in for the location and/or date could change on availability?
