Default Am I missing something? CB parts check please.

I'm getting into off-roading and am in need of a CB radio. Since I had alot of Amazon Credit I went ahead and ordered it from there. Here is what I ordered, can someone please check my parts and see if I missed anything or need to add to anything.

CB Amazon.com: Midland 75-822 40 Channel CB-Way Radio: Electronics

Mount Amazon.com: Rugged Ridge 11503.89 CB Antenna Mount: Automotive

Antenna Amazon.com: Firestik Antenna 4' Black FireFly: Electronics

Cable http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Spring Amazon.com: Firestik SS-3H Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Antenna Spring: Car Electronics

Stud Amazon.com: STUD W/SO-239 CONN: Car Electronics

I know that I will need to have someone check my SWR with a meter, but I will have a friend check my SWR so I don't have to buy a meter.

Anything else?

Looks good to me.

The one thing you might consider is a mount that is connected to the body versus the tailgate, although lots of folks, including myself, have gotten manageable performance from a tailgate mount.
