Hey people, I'll go snap some pics right now.

I found a dealer through the Firestik website: www.Firestik.com
It has a great FAQ area, so you can do it correctly.

The dealer website I was routed to was: www.WalcottCB.com
They are going to charge for shipping, but it will still be alot cheaper than anyone else.

If you live in a large town, I would call around to different stores; Somebody may have this stuff, so you won't have to pay any shipping. Part #s should be on the Firestik website...

 

Here are some pics of the mount on the sparetire assembly:

This pic below shows why you need a low-profile coaxial end:

This pic below shows the unused plug which I used to run the cable through the swing-gate:

This pic below shows where the cable comes out and runs behind the coverplate for the factory wireloom and through the protective cover:

BEST AND LEAST EXPENSIVE SITE TO GET GREAT 2007 JEEP AFTERMARKET OVERHEAD CONSOLE, VHF, CB RADIO BRACKETS, ANTENNAS..
ALSO HAS STUFF ON EBAY.. That's where I found him.. Not too pricey as others I have seen, and built well..

 

Nice work, looks great!
What CB are you running?

 

The CB I have is the absolute best! It's the Cobra 75WX-ST...
It has no big box to mount, because everything fits in the handheld... That made it easy to mount the little box in the center console, and the handheld is hung next to the driver's leg by the Transfer-case lever...

 

I've been thinking about getting one of those, does yours work OK? I've read several reviews, seem about half love it, half hate it. I've never had any problems from Cobra products, the one's that hate it probably do not have the antenna tuned and/or mounted correctly. The antenna will either make or break the system. I'm an old CBer from the late 70's and beyond and know how to set up an antenna

Thanks for the info!!

 

you can with some help talk all over the world in the right conditions
"skip" from your jeep. ive traded postcards years ago from alot of radio operators. but since the computer age kinda got away from radio. :toung:

 

The CB, Antennae, and Cable work incredibly well where I have everything mounted! I just came back from a long weekend in Tellico and the system was transmitting as far as 4+ miles! And that was within an area that's filled with hills, valleys, trees, and even more trees! I have mine wired directly to battery and I haven't had a single complaint with transmitting or receiving...

Also, my antennae was mounted in the perfect place... If it had been mounted on the side of the jeep, it would have certainly been broken-off!!! Tons of tree-branches and rock-walls would have snapped it in half....

 

Cool. I'm looking to copy your setup. I really like cooltech's mount, but I too was concerned about branches and things. Though its probably not too big of a deal. The other factor was cost. You can get an FL4 firestick for 20 bucks and mount it like yours for free...at 1/4 the cost of cooltech, that's a hard deal to pass.

 

Rubidozer,

What SWR reading are you getting? If this has been mentioned before and I just missed it, sorry.
