CB Install... WHERE???
ORIGINAL: A CarMan
I used a Cobra Microphone CB. Mounted on a flex shaft fastened under the passenger seat. Connection box fastened under seat. Passthru antenna on rear side window works good.

I figured I needed the Adventure package/lockers. Have a 132 acres of woods for deer hunting and the road can get messy and sometimes ya have to make your own road...the luxury package that came with it was the bonus for me...
nah, you don't need a locker for that...lockers are mainly needed when crawling over boulders like out in rubicon, 90% of off roading you won't need the locker, especially with the traction control, the way it works is much much better than having an open diff like most trucks. Once one wheel spins it shuts it down and puts full power to the wheel not spinning....not as good as a locker but in most occasions just as effective.
jdrew, did you try fitting it into the center console?
I have a 5 foot wilson (same as the firestik) mounted on my drivers side rear bumber. I ran the cable inside through the wire harness for the rear taillight and up to the front console. The wire actually runs under all the trim and sill plates and comes out under the drivers seat and up and into the center console. There, I purchased a handheld Midland CB from WalMart. I attached the external antenna wire to it and get power by plugging the adapter into one of the power outlets in the dash. The last time I used it for off roading, everyone was asking me about my setup because it was so crystal clear!
just my 2 cents.
