Going to wire up my cb this weekend. Weather permitting. Anyone feel like a drive then a day of cb wiring and fuel door cover install, come on any one??
Just have to figure out if I should go thru cigarette lighter or straight to battery and sugestions boys. What did you guys do?

 

straight to the battery....I don't mind helping, depending on when your doing it. I have plans for Saturday night. Let me know buddy!

 

We may be heading up to Minden to do a Recon run on Saturday.....so not sure if we'll be available.

 

Saturday morning is good for me, let me know!

 

I went to the cigarette lighter myself, that way I can take it out easily if I want to. Just personal preference. I'll see if I can make it, I'll let you know.

 

not sure how your reception is, but I was told by a cb shop that it should have a direct connection to the battery to eliminate static, and background noise?!?!?!

 

They say to wire it to the battery and straight to a good ground.

However, I had one mounted in my old Liberty through the cigarette lighter. Here's what was in there: a fridge, 2 powerinverters, a laptop, cb, Sat radio, and 2 GPS units. Frankly, I couldn't tell any difference or any extra engine interfernce. Now, the key is to make sure you dont screw up the antenna mount, and tunning. The antenna must be isolated from ground the proper way, and if you tune the antenna, you will get really good distances. Many CB shops will tune your cb for a nominal fee, or you could do it yourself. Just do a little searching on the net. There are tons of articles out there.

 

Saturday would be fine, If you guys really want, head on up!, if we got it done early I know of a few trails I could feel out this week to see how much snow is on them. If anyone is up for it let me know when is good for you, I can plan my day around good help, thanks fellas

 

how about 10ish on Saturday???

PM me the details and I will be there to lend a hand buddy!

 

Well I started on the antenna mount tonight think It will work just fine, It is just a L bracket attached to the bolt on the rear tire carrier.
