Okay, I finally made up my mind and ordered. I ordered a Uniden PRO538, 3' Firestik, and Firering coax. I plan on mounting the CB on the side of the console on the passenger side. The antenna will go in the spare tire carrier for now.

Is that all I need? My first trail ride is Memorial Day, so I got to get this working before then. And I'm traveling next week, so I need to do this right the first time.

just mounted my Cobra 29 LTD BT with the 3' firestik and 18' coax. You will need every bit of it. I mounted my radio on the dash and it barley made it. If you get the terflex rear tire carrirer antenna mount like I did, you will need to grind off the power coat or run a ground wire. You need good metal to metal contact on the mounting hardware. I would also you get a firestik quick disco if you are going to mount in that spot.

You may need a bracket to do that, and you may also need a feedthrough for the coax to the antenna. Also, if you need to cut off the end of a pre-made RF cable to feed it through the tailgate, you'll need a new connector to replace the one you cut off. And you'll need whatever tools/materials for the style connector you chose (I recommend solder vice crimp for this particular connector). BTW: If you have a four-door, I recommend a twenty-foot RF cable.

The only thing that is missing from your list is a bracket for the antenna and a stud mount for the antenna and the fire ring to connect.
