Find your nearest truck stop. They will have anything you need to install a CB. Also, some truck stops have CB shops in them, and you can pick the workers brain on a questions that you might have.

 

Good idea. Thanks, I have a TA about 10 miles from my house.

 

finally got around to burying the coax. how did others hide this cable? i used the cooltech mount, so mine came in through the license plate area, and i tucked it under the trim all the way to the front of the jeep. i went up behind the trim under the steering column and over to the glove box, to where the cb "box" is. reached the box perfectly. my cable basically runs behind the lower trim panel, below the hazard button, etc. when routing through here, i thought i felt something hot. this may be a dumb question so please forgive my ignorance, but is there anything in behind that panel that i should be concerned with?

 

I doubt there is anything behind the dash panel you need to be concerned with. If the rest of the wiring is fine back there, the coax should be as well. Of course, without knowing what and where specifically you are referring to, I can only surmise a guess.

 

just wanted a gut check. everything went fine and there seemed to be a lot of room behind there, but i wanted to make sure there wasn't a watch-out back there somewhere. thanks for the response.

 

just orderd a cobra 75 from northridge and a mount from tera flex thanks for the write up

 

this may be a dumb question, but how big of a hole did you drill in the plastic where your antenna plug came through. thanks.

 

Hmmm... inside the jeep??? I actually did what I should've done years ago, and went out and bought a uni-bit. Then, I just kept drilling until the bugger fit through.

There's a good amount of room for error, with the plate...

 

thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

 

This write up and information Cobra 75 is great. System seems perfect for casual trail use so I purchased the Cobra 75 WX ST, but mine didn't come with the rubber grommet or faceplate for mic in dash quick connect as shown in picture below.

Was this something that you guys puchased separately or was it included in box?
