  1. Added a solar panel charger from harbor freight, and bought a new cobra 29 Ltd multi led CB radio. Got a great deal on it. Normally cost $159 got it for $75 brand new, and still getting a $20 refund. Check out your local Love's truck stop. I am still working on getting the time to complete the process of adding the front brush guard

    Like the idea of a solar panel. Have a pic where it was mounted?
  2. welcome. My first c.b. radio as a truck driver was a cobra 19. Great little work horse. Good idea to get it p/t will get better performance. Just a FYI that radio has smaller crystals than most, might be able to get a few extra watts. Probably get 6-8 whereas a bigger one you could get upwards of 20 watts. Hope you have fun with it. Being up in the mountains you can get some fun skipping action on clear nights. I was talking to a guy in California while I was on top of Loveland pass in colordo last week 11000 ft level.

    Thats awesome that your range is that far. Im a beginner when it comes to radios. So hopefully this we be a great starter radio. Eventually Ill graduate to something more when the time comes. 6-8watts would be the max huh. They guy doing said 10-12. How can I be sure?
  3. Mount will ground itself if you have it screwed into metal, however you will find that the c.b. will have a much better swr reading and stronger signal if you do ground the mount. What kinda c.b. do you run? Myself run a galaxy dx959 with standard and upper/lower side band's for a total of 120 channels.

    My wife picked me up a Cobra19 ultra 3 from walmart For xmas last year. I wanted something compact that would fit in my center console. Taking the cb to a shop to "P&T" it. Thanks I will ground the mount tonight.
  4. Fired her up for the first time in a year, cranked first time. She got a new timing belt, water pump, belts, full tune. Then a good wash, cut all new mats out of commercial walk off mat material. Very happy she's running again!'

    Same here! Timing belt all the way down is golden! Come on 250k miles....lol
  5. Thanks guys for all your input. 32" will probably be my biggest size. If i can add a jack and gas tank to stock tire rack with a 32". That would be great. Maybe im just over thinking this. Just wanna do it right the first time. Thanks again
