? for you CB guys out there
Let me start by saying I have never used or been around anyone who uses a CB, but I have a couple of questions. I don't have any friends that drive 4WD trails, but I plan on making friends with my new ride.
1. Do I need to get one and why if so?
2. Why are good Walkie Talkie's not just as good?
Any input is appreciated.

2. No, no, NO! Always need batteries or charging, easy to forget, lacking in range and just try extending the antannae inside with the top on and windows up.
Get a CB, carry a cell phone and have a pair of FRS's or similar.

I got a CB after using the walkie talkies. Basically the CB is for the trail so we can keep in constant communication. They sound much better, have better range and the walkie talkies constantly die, need recharging or need new batteries. They sound like crap and the range is terrible. You can actually get a decent CB for a reaasonable price. I didn't/don't know too much about them either but having it makes the trail so much easier when your with a large group, or small group for that matter. This is the CB I have...clean, simple and effective 
Nice mount, where did you get that...

CB's are kind of a Jeep thing - or perhaps more generally an "off-road thing".
When enthusiasts are off-road, the most common form of communiaction is often a CB. So, from an enjoyment perspective (group adventures, trail rides, etc.) and a safety perspective, a CB is a good "tool".
Cool Tech LLC sells a mic mount (VersaMount) as well as a CB antenna mount (UltraMount) -both designed specifically for the JK.

Smokey and the Bandit.
Back in the 70's CB radios were the hot item, everyone used them.
That and police scanners, but not in the truck ;-D
My handle was Wig, I had long hair, now it would be Thin.
I've been thinking about a CB what's everyone buyin? Is Cobra still the #1
