Product Description

Created specifically for Jeeps, 4x4s and other off-road vehicles, this kit has everything you'll need for a high-quality CB installation. The most important part of any CB setup is the antenna and mount and we've included high-quality components for both. Our kit includes a radio, antenna, mounting hardware, coax and even an SWR meter for antenna tuning.

Radio: This kit is built around the Cobra 75 WX ST handheld CB. The Cobra 75 is an ideal radio for Jeep and off-road vehicle owners that need an extremely compact CB as all radio components are contained within the handset. Antenna attachment, power wiring and external speaker hookup all run through a small mounting box that can be tucked away for a very clean installation. The radio includes 10 weather channels for staying on top of conditions while on the trail as well as an extended two year warranty for peace of mind.

Antenna: The kit provides two different antenna options:

  • Wilson FLEX: On the trail, it's convenient to have an antenna that can survive getting snagged, bent, bowed and abused. Subsequently, we picked an antenna that can bend 180 degrees without breaking - the Wilson FLEX. These 3' and 4' antennas provide superior protection against snapping and hold up well to the rigors of off-road use. While flexible, they don't offer the same level of transmit and receive performance that a traditional fiberglass antenna like the Firestik FS (discussed below) does. If flexibility is most important and long-range communication isn't crucial, the FLEX is a good choice.

  • Firestik FS: The Firestik FS series is the most popular fiberglass CB antenna on the market today. It doesn't offer the flexibility of the Wilson FLEX, but it does provide significantly better transmit and receive performance. Also, a CB spring can be added to provide limited flexibility to the antenna and mount if desired. If optimal range is most important, the Firestik FS antenna is a better choice than the Wilson FLEX.

Mount & Coax: We include a choice of six kits which allows for a great deal of mounting flexibility and customization. All kits include a quality CB antenna mount as well as high-grade Fire-Flex or Belden coax. Three mounting options come included in the price of the kit, while proprietary Jeep and FJ mounts are available as a $19.95 upgrade. Please see the mounting links below for individual kit details.



External Speaker:The Cobra's small speaker can occasionally be difficult to hear, especially over the roar of a revving Jeep engine. That's why we include a compact external speaker to ensure clear communication in noisy environments. The speaker includes a mounting bracket for easy installation anywhere in the vehicle cab. Note: Speaker may differ slightly from picture.

SWR Meter and Jumper: Every kit includes a SWR meter and coax jumper to tune your antenna for optimal performance. If you're not familiar with the tuning process you can read why it's important and how to do it properly at the CB Resources page.

I installed this in my 08 2dr JK with the 4' Firestik and Teraflex mount. It is a must to get a spring with the Firestik. Also I mounted the antenna mount to the lowest point on my Smittybilt tire carrier so the antenna doesn't sit too tall. Even with that I can't fit under the garage door. This is where the spring comes in handy. I pull the antenna to a 45 deg angle with bungie to clear garage door and just unhook when I get to the trails. There is just enough cable for my 2 door JK (18'). You 4 door guys may need more depending upon where you mount it. I mounted it behind my glovebox as suggested in another review. I tapped into the cigaret lighter with power alway on. As for the mic mount, I took a piece of 1/2"x1/8" flat aluminum and tied it into the upper right bolt of radio mount with a 90 deg bend and a 45 deg bend. I mounted the supplied mic hanger to that.

It is very important to get a good ground on the antenna and don't put the plastic washer in the wrong spot. It is supposed to go betweent he antenna and the mount. My bad. I ran an extra ground wire from frame to bottom of antenna mount just to be sure. Don't forget to remove paint were needed. I end up with a SWR value of 1.0 after tuning with the directions that came with the tuner. The tuning directions that are on website didn't work out for me.

Hope this helped.

I would like to say that I am happy with my purchase. I bought the Jeep package because it fit exactly what I needed. The Cobra 75 all-in-one handheld is a great choice for a wrangler. I like the ability to disconnect the radio from the port and have nothing showing when I run no doors/no top. The package had everything I needed to do the install, no need to go out and buy odds and ends to finish. The only problem I'm having is a good sturdy spot to hold the cb, the clip that came with it isn't enough to hold it in place when the jeep is moving over rough terrain. I would rate this package as a 5 out of 5 for anyone with a wrangler. I installed mine on my 08 wrangler unlimited using the teraflex bracket for the whip.

The best thing I liked about the radio is the size. Being small provides endless variations in installation location. I dash mounted by microphone connector on the right side of the steering wheel and the external speaker up on the dash near the left hand side. Two long bolt and nuts hold the under dash box out of the way and you only know I have it if you notice the 4 foot antenna when its not tied down. Great system and when I lost (dropped) the antenna adjustment screw (its REALLY small or I'm just blind) the folks at Right Channel shipped one out to me at no charge! Great support and I appreciate the personalized emails to make sure I had a good installation. Thanks again.
