CB in 2003 Denali

[erock198]

I want to add a Cobra Model 25 or similar to my truck but am not sure about placement. Has anybody installed one and where?

 

[erock198]

I don't even know why put a CB in a Denali, If your a cop , Bo Or luke Duke I don't see the reason. Cell Phones do the same but with unlimited range. Cell Phone My Friend

There are many places where cell phones still don't get service, and carrying a satellite phone all the time is just ridiculous and expensive.
Just saying.

From 2000 to 2003 I worked on a truck moving cars up and down the east coast. I guess I might miss the life of talking on the CB....

 

[erock198]

do you think i could pull out the ashtray ad the lighter and put it there or is that structural?

I travel all over the world, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bagdad, Europe for missions and I never had no service Im on Verizon and I never had to worry about it not dealing with service. If you get a CB you will more than likely be in the US and Verizon kills coverage all over the US. But the CB could work mounting it where the Six disc cd changer is mounted if you don't use it that much in the age of MP3 and IPod's. I would pull out the in dash changer and slide your changer right into that spot.

Good Idea. The younger generation does not understand the fun we had on ch 19

I put it in that spot where the changer was but it sticks out a bit and I"m going to have to trim the bezel but I'm still waiting on the antenna splitter to go into the radio antenna

You reception is going to suck so bad, you will wonder if anyone actually uses CB.

Yeah I know they are at different frequencies. it will only be temporary or not at all now. Maybe through the glass then

Found this too

I bought a midland through the glass now to wait till that comes and mod the bezel in the meantime

Not a CB, but I installed my Yaesu FT1900 along side the console molding on the drivers side. The face is looking up at you, and I simply ran all the wires under the console molding, ran a hard-line to the wiring under the hood, and the antenna up the side pillar molding and out thru the rear passenger door (I don't have it perm installed on roof, will not fit in garage)

Only thing I have to be concerned of, is spilling my drink, and a short person moving the seat up too far, neither of which are serious concerns as I'm the primary driver. I can snap a photo if you'd like.

Can I see a pic? I'm still leaning towards the cd changer location

Reminds me of the movie convoy. Btw do alot of people still rock cv? Tempted to buy one but it'd suck being the only guy on cb

No they don't.
I have over a million miles over the road, and having a CB is sometimes a necessity. I still go on drives with another truck club, and I just put my mag based antenna on top and plug my CB into the power port. I have an SWR meter, and I tuned the setup. It gets out just as good as any permanently mounted unit

I didn't want to rip anything out of the dash, just because I'm pretty **** about that sort of thing. This doesn't interfere with driving at all, and I don't worry that the audio is lost under a seat, in the console etc.

I guess it would be cool to talk and see if there are any cops in the area and what mile marker.. I understand now!!

I like that and was thinking the other side. I really don't want to rip up my dash either. I need to find a bracket for the install. Mine did not come with one
