This weekend I decide to finally install the CB radio I forgot I bought about 4 years ago and found when unpacking a box in the garage. I bought it for offroad trail ridding as most 4x4 clubs require you have one. I did actually go on a couple trips back in Ohio and am planning on doing more now that the jeep is almost paid off. It only took 3 trips to radio shack and one trip to Home Depot to complete the project. I also added the following tools to my collection: step down drill bit, new shop light, a soddering iron and an SWR meter. I still need to mount the control box in a permanent location under the dash, the quick disconnect for the handheld unit somewhere on the dash and the mic hanger but I wanted to drive around with it loose for a few days to be sure of where it all would work best. The original tires are getting worn so phase two will be a lift, new wheeles and tires. Hopefully within the next month providing the final 06 tax numbers from the accountant arent too bad. Here are some pictures I took of the process.
Does that mean you have one of those real big antennas on ur jeep?

Its a 4 ft Firestick Firefly antenna sitting on a spirng and quick disconnect, you can see the bottom of it on the mount in the first picture. Its all black and sticks up about a foot and a half above the roof, not too obnoxious.

Get ready for hours of obscene trucker speak and the insane ramblings of lonely cb nerds.
