Nice strap.
$70 is a rip off for a shackle & receiver.
Here is mine from Central 4WD minus the nice red & black paint I did to mine.

Just order it from Central.

I found it using Warn's search engine by imputting "receiver shackle."

as for the CB, i'm not sure if i want the cobra that has all the controls on the handset as seen here http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...391059-7016014
or the front firing single din size CB with base unit
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...391059-7016014
and for antennas... i dont know if i want a magnetic antenna (this would probably be best for me) or if i want something secured permanitly
