as the title says, i installed my cb.

i got the cb and antenna for $23 shipped.

as soon as i hooked it up i figured i would test it.
i came across some gay guy asking me weird questions so i turned it off.

sorry for the crappy pictures, my camera is messed up so i used my phone.

i plan to get a 5ft firestick, so the magnet mount is only temp.

 

and yes, i can still use the ashtray, the cb is mounted to the bottom of the dash with some self tapping screws.

i also had to get a 90 for the antenna wire so i could put it there.

 

Looks Good in there! Nice job!

 

thanks, its whats inside that matter right? haha.

i need to paint the outside..



oh, and my truck is in 1st gear in the picture, it doesn't hit the shifter at all.

 

Yeah you do need to paint that thing... even just a rattle can satin black paint job would look good. a buddy did that to his vehicle, said the trick was to paint in vertical lines, up and down, and tape everything off. Cost him $30 the satin black looks about 1000 times better than flat black too.

 

that looks good, I kinda miss havin my little rinky dink cb after gettin the cobra 29 which is kinda overkill for me

I've been tryin to find one of those shift boot/ cup holders forever, never have much luck tho

 

Looks good I have that same model I am trying to figure out where to mount in my truck hopefully on Saturday I will come up with something for it.

 

Looks good to me. I wondered if it would hit while in gear, but I see you've got that covered.

 

my truck is satin black, the road salt killed it, the paint looked good for the first summer, spring came around and it was ****ed.

i plan to paint it soon, as of right now its mud brown with chunks.

 

Thought I would bump this.

I got a few more "items" for my CB, I was talking to a guy in Oklahoma from my truck.

I still need to get a better antenna, i have a Wilson 1000 in the mail.

 

BTW, I can hold the light a few feet away and it still lights it up.
