I got my ground strap at Walcott, click here, 6.95. 12" long, 7/8" wide.

CB is the little all-in-one Cobra 75WXST.

Thanks for the detailed write up now I definitely know how I'm going to mount my CB and antenna. I was leaning to wards the cooltech kit until I started thinking about it getting hit by branches and slapping the side of my jeep.

The straps can also be found at Napa, and probably most other parts stores.

How did you get that kind of spacing to put it there? I was looking at my stock 32 inch and it's tight up against the 3rd light! Just the natural spacing with your wheels or did you have to use a spacer?
