You definatlly need to tune your antenna.

Truck stop or Amazon I would say are your best bet to find a SWR meter. Don't forget that your going to need an extra small antenna coax cable to run the test. Some SWR meters come with the short cable (about 3') and some don't.

I always go to the local cb shop two blocks away, but if no local shop is in your area, then maybe ask Google.

You can also look for off-road/4x4 clubs in your area and post on the local forums. Chances are you'll find someone in the club that has one and willing to help a fellow offroader.
