CB Radio & Antenna Mount Photos - Post Up

its a FCC required part that limits you radio's transmit(i.e modulation) capability.....supposed to keep you from comming through the little ole neighbor lady's phone if you are close to her house or interfering with her t.v....ask me how I know!!!
Without the modulation block you talk farther.....

Guys, removing the mod block is an illegal offense with serious consequences if you are caught. If you want to learn about it do it somewhere other than on our forums.

karstic: How much of a range are you getting out of that mount? From what I've read, roof-top mounts are typically the best for longer range...

This is a cool super strong magnetic mount if you don't wan't to drill a hole in your roof. You can get a nice radio from this well repected place also. Ask for Al aka "Sparky". I'll op for the drill but this is still a cool mount:http://www.sparkyscbshack.com/catalog/item/3922747/5139433.htm

I just put this together today. 3' Firestik antenna and 18' FireRing coax on a homemade mount from some scrap I had.

Ought to do better than having it ziptied to the roof rack.

You might wanna get a spring on that antenna or else you could snap the mount off.

You can't see it really well in the pic, but the antenna is pretty snug against the tire, which restricts the movement pretty well. If I notice it moving a lot I may throw a spring on there.

My adjustable HF Antenna On the back, the cb antenna is in the stock location and the 2m/70cm dual band can be seen on driver side front fender.

Question fellas... Im going to be adding a radio to my newly aquired 01. Going a different route. My 94 had a Uniden Grant XL (big radio) and a wilson 1000.

Im going alittle smaller/cleaner on the 01. Im getting a Midland 1001z, and some form of fiberglass whip.

My question. Im thinking of getting the fender mount like this for a quick set up...

Where/how are you guys routing the coax??? It doesnt seem like there is space to get it into the engine bay without the hood/fender area pinching it. I checked mine out real quick yesterday, and it seems like it would be quite tight... Just curious. Maybe its not an issue...or maybe there is thinner coax than what Im used to. My old set up had a custom cable that I made...and it was pretty thick.

Thanks!

Yes, I too enjoy showing my Jeep when I can. As said in the first post, my CB is in the same place Ghostdakota mounted his, here is the 2nd, and final location of my antenna.

Won't that burn up your CB, being mounted to fiberglass instead of metal??

 

[goodburbon]

97+ cherokee lift gates are steel.

 

[Sting25]

It probably wouldn’t burn up a stock unmodified CB...if you totally disconnected the antenna ya it could blow the finals...It just would not work very well connected to fiberglass.
