I've been planning on getting a CB for a while, but last last week after work I go to hop in my truck and find a card on my windshield from a local offroad group member. Joined the site, found out there was a meet on the 14th (today) so this pushed my CB install to the top of the list. Bought all the CB junk from RadioShack for a little over $100 on Wednesday. Uniden CB, 67" whip, mount, 20' co-ax cable, 20 ft of 12gauge wire and I was set. I installed it yesterday but got busy afterwards. Today I was supposed to go to that meet buuuuut I forgot to "spring" my clock ahead an hour so I missed it. Next time I guess.

I used some bolts I found lying around the house, a Simpson Strong-tie I also found in the garage and I bought two Simpson Strong-Tie L brackets from THD to mount the antenna.












The L Simpson Strong-Tie. I only needed one since they were so "strong"






The string on the rack is to hold it down when not in use.

Now I can talk to my house-mate over the CB because he has one in his Mazda 3 (in the background)

 

that is a whip sir! nicely done and thanks for the photo sharing

 

hey take ur dash out and mount the cb horizontal where the ash tray was it makes it looks so much better and proffesional, lookin good though

 

 

i think it looks good the way it is. i dont think your cb will fit in your ash tray anyway. i tried a cobra 19 ultra3, a uniden (like yours) and the radio shack trc-503, and none of them fit in my ashtray anyway.
