CB Install
My antenna, mount and wiring arrived for my CB (radio not here yet).
Once the CB radio arrives, I am going to run the stereo (that I installed today) and my CB in the dash (2 single dinn units in a double dinn slot) once I get everything cut out so the units can fit.
I'm not really a firestick fan but couldn't pass up a deal I found. I prefer either a 48in or 102in whip. I have used them in the past w/GREAT results.
I mounted the antenna, a 4ft firestick firefly in a manner I saw on expeditionforum... I liked the mounting location and decided to copy (cant remember the posters name).
Here are pics...enjoy. (click to make larger)

Got the CB installed today (stereo and CB in dash).
I used the double din install kit from the big company I forget their name...metra? (something like that). The trim pieces that came in the pack are useless and wont even fit around my stereo so for now I left them off.
I will post pictures tomorrow when its light enough to snap a few pictures.

If I lived near the coast (or major body off water), I would totally rock a VHF...unfortunately I am nowhere near the coast and all of our "lakes" are sandboxes right now

O rly? I was under the impression that one would run into legal issues with using a VHF on land....or am I mistaken?
Hopefully its good to go since I have some gift cards to west marine and would love to splurge on a VHF.
