i have a lightly moded CB,and was wondering can I put my own Wilson antenna on the truck instead of using the stock ones?? Also,can I mount my CB somewhere other than the dash or cubby? Or do they complain about it.... I start school next month and want to know what I should get together ahead of time.

Whenever that green exclamation point is lit, they are watching and listening LIVE!
You can not drill holes into their trucks at all. You can hook up a better antenna behind the cab by clamping it to a rail. You run the coax through a plastic vent behind the cab.
If they're still telling newbie that they need coveralls ... you don't.
Sneakers are Okay, because you can feel the pedals better.
Go to TSC (Tractor supply co.) and get winter work gloves $10 to $20 a pair. They aren't sold near their summer gloves, they're sold near the ski caps and nylon winter gloves (don't buy nylon for work).Last edited: Jan 18, 2016
Lunchbox379 Thanks this. -
Thanks for the heads up! Do you know if I can run better power wires then they may have?? -
I used a 100 watt amplifier with no problem using the same hook up as the cb. I used one of those small Italian amplifiers bought on Ebay for app. $110.00. I think the manufacturer is RM. Many selling them on ebay are in europe and only a few will sell to Americans because they are illegal in the USA.Lunchbox379 Thanks this. -
Thanks for the info! My buddy gave me a Cobra 29 with a 150 watt RFX. But tuned to 100watt and has updated parts in it as well as reciving mods and whatever else. I was hoping they're wires hold up.

For your antenna the outback bracket might be an option.

I would look in the fuse panel and see what the CB power uses for fuse size.
I have seen some with only a 5 amp fuse.....A RFX 150 would pull more than 5 amps for sure.
