Here is the link to the radio I purchased. Cobra 75 WX ST Off-Road CB Package - $179.95

This thread is meant to just help you with some of the things I ran into that were not easily explained on the website. The Company I got the CB from are pretty good about posting on their site how to install most of this stuff.

I had that same radio in my Toyota pickup and 4Runner. I used the one out of the 4Runner in my FJ temporarily for a couple of years until it shorted out on me. I had really good luck with them and loved the weather band on them. I added a $10 speaker from Flying J truck stop that plugged right into the back and it clipped onto the visor. It made a lot of difference in being able to hear things better because I usually laid the handset on the passenger seat. Walcott CB put out a complete kit called the "Big Bill Combo" named after a member back at the beginning of the blue room when the FJ first came out. He put his own kit together and did a write up with photos and people loved it and ordered the same set up and eventually Walcott put everything together in a kit with a couple of options.

great wripe up .. nice shifter knobs .. !

Question for ya .. did you evaluate Midland 75-822 radio ? ( more less same concept )

[REDDAWNISHERE]

I did not look at the Midland. Honestly I did not know a lot about installing CB's or which was the best. I did some research online, and found that this was the best quality ( from many user reviews) for the price. Plus the kit came with everything. I didn't want to have to shop many different places for different parts and then get frustrated with having to find out I needed another part. This kit came with everything. So far very happy with it.

Made this thread a sticky. May move it into the FAQ but wanted to keep it visible.

Nice thread, thanks for taking the time to do it...

I went with the Midland portable option. Here's my mount. You can see power from cigarette lighter, and antenna connector to cable under driver's side dash. I velcro'd the connector so when not in use, it stashes behind the dash.


Antenna is off of my ARB bumper. Low profile is nice. Also makes for a good distance marker in close quarters.
