I just got the Cobra 18 for Christmas. Now I just have to find a head unit that I like. Can't wait to start the install.

I was thinking of getting a bigger radio with a in system navigation and all the bells and whistles, but i think i might do this now. I never would have thought of it.

I Already purchased a CB, I am having a hell of a time on deciding on an antenna and where to mount it on my 2008 JK. Any suggestions or pics would help alot.

Crutchfield wasn't very helpful. I guess I'm on my own with the install. I'll probably be bugging the heck out of Gadget during the entire install

I made a mount to go on my spare tire mount, one for each side, HF/CB on one side and 2M on the other side. I still have to fix RFI on the HF side for the high power on the ham bands but the mount will works.
you can also buy one that for this spot.

Default Anybody know the answer?

I just thought of this question. I dont have a CB yet so I have no first hand experience with them. But has anybody/is it even possible to hook up your CB so that the incoming transmissions will play through the stereo?
