Just for those interested..here's some pictures of the teraflex cb mount. I was surprised how thick the metal was -- very solid.

 

I love this mount! Wish I had seen it a week ago...woulda saved me some of the skin on my knuckles... Mine is basically the same, but it ain't from Teraflex- I had to take a saws-all to my old mount from my TJ Rubi. It ended up being quite similar, but does indeed have that redneck technology look to it. I will be scoopin this one up as soon as I can find it. Where did ya find it and what did you pay??

One guy had one at the Penn's Woods Jamboree last week. Loves it.

 

Nice. Where did you get it?

 

yeah, where?

 

I got one of these mounts from Wallcot CB. Be sure you remove the powdercoating from around the bolts and the ant. mounting hole. I did not do this at first and the CB did not work at all. I checked the ground at the mount and it was non-existent. After I removed the powdercoating it worked fine.

It's a very nice mount, real sturdy and fits perfect.


Cheers,

Mike

 

i am new to CB's. whats a good economical antenna to go with this?

 

As Mike did, I got this at Walcott CB. Can't link - so Google for them. It sells for 29.95. Walcott part #JKCBM

And yes, I'm having to go back and do that. I'm having a heck of time getting the thing tuned, and so I think I need to better ground it. I have a ground strap to install as well, just havne't done it yet - wanted to see what it was like without it. I'm having a heck of a time getting the thing tuned...none of the instructions are very clear.


Firestik firefly FL3B or FL4B are the favorites I'd say. Both retail for under $20.

 

I just ordered the bracket and a Cobra 75WXST from Walcott. I bought my last high-end Uniden CB from them. The Uniden had great SWR numbers after tuning but it was mounted to my truck. It will be interesting to see how well I can tune the new one with the antenna mounted in such a crappy spot on the jeep.

I got mine from Quadratec. As a matter of fact their photo is actually of my JK!!
