Additional Information

Model / SKU:	Uniden Jeep Kit + (SWR2T + A8X1 \|OR\| AUSWR) + iKit
Recommended for:	Jeep and off-road users who need a durable, long-lasting CB system. This package features multiple Jeep-specific mounts that attach to the hood, tail light or spare tire carrier (see "Mounting Hardware" for compatibility). This kit is also useful for light truck drivers, as the compact radio fits easily in a small cab, and the three-way mount can easily attach to the pickup bed rail. If you drive an FJ Cruiser, choose the Bandi mount, which attaches to the hinge of the tailgate with no drilling.
Radio:	Choose between the Uniden 510 or Uniden 520 CB radios. These compact, durable radios will easily fit in the cab of your vehicle without taking up valuable space. The Uniden Pro 510 XL is the base model radio, while the 520 XL offers PA (public address) and RF gain functions. If you would like to have a PA system, make sure to select the Uniden Pro 520.
Antenna:	The kit provides two antenna options: 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, you can add a CB spring to the antenna and mount to provide limited flexibility if desired. If optimal range is most important, the Firestik FS antenna is a better choice than the Wilson Flex. 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 does. If flexibility is most important -- and long-range communication isn't crucial -- the Flex is a good choice.
Mounting Hardware:	We include a choice of six mounting kits for a great deal of flexibility and customization. All kits include a quality CB antenna mount and a high-grade CB coax cable. Three mounting options are included in the price of the kit, while custom Jeep and FJ mounts are available as a $19.95 upgrade. Please see the mounting links below for individual kit details. Mounting Options: 3-Way Vertical Surface & Mirror Kit Jeep Wrangler Hood Kit (1997+ Jeep Wranglers) Universal Hood & Channel Kit Bandi Mount (FireRing and stud for FJ Cruisers; $19.95 upgrade) Teraflex Tail Light Kit (TJ, CJ & YJ models, 1987-2006; $19.95 upgrade) Teraflex JK Tire CB Mount (antenna stud and 18' of coax; $19.95 upgrade)
Additional Information:	The off-road package also includes an SWR meter and jumper cable for tuning your CB antenna. If you don't know how to tune a CB antenna, take a look at our CB antenna tuning guide and video.

I actually got the Uniden 520 and I loveit!
Review by Mike B.

I got the Uniden 520 Jeep TJ Off-road Kit and I couldn't be any happier with the set. I needed it for a Jeep Jamboree and it was recognized by trail guides as a good unit and the SWR meter came in handy in the 1000 ft. deep canyon. I will tell anyone who asks about CB Radios that it came from Right Channel Radios. I need one for my pickup and car! (Posted on May 24, 2013)

Great Trail Radio.
Review by RedJK

This system worked great in my JK and worked awesome on the trail. I mounted it under my glove compartment and it works great! The Installation took about three hours with everything because of how I ran the wires and then another couple of hours of troubleshooting to figure out that the Teraflex Jeep Mount which is specifically designed for a CB antenna mount is fully powder coated making it not properly grounded.

Finally, after taking a flat head to the bottom of the mount and scraping some of the paint off, it worked perfect. I then got a good SWR! This is something that should be made more well known! (Posted on January 26, 2013)

The Uniden 520 Jeep kit was purchased by my wife for a Christmas gift for me (with some big hints by me). I installed it in my 2012 two-door Wrangler. I'm very happy with the radio. I mounted the radio on the window frame above the rear view mirror and the 4 foot Firestick antenna on the spare tire carrier with the Teraflex mount. With this installation, the 18 feet of supplied coax cable was about 4 or 5 feet short. I contacted Right Channel Radio, and they rushed out a 24-feet cable for no charge!

I initially had high SW readings on all channels (3.5 to 4.0). I had added a ground wire from the tub to tailgate but the paint on the Teraflex bracket was preventing grounding of the antenna base. I used a battery terminal brush to remove paint inside all holes and used star washers to bite through the paint and was able to get the SWR readings between 1.2 and 1.3 on all channels. The SWR Meter proved to be a critical and necessary piece of supplied equipment to perfect the installation. (Posted on January 23, 2013)

I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I decided that I need a CB radio. I have never set up a CB radio before. I enjoy challenges and learning new things and when a forum thread pointed towards rightchannelradios.com, I was immediately interested.

I got the Uniden 510 Jeep & Off-Road Kit. I opted for the Uniden 520, the 4' firestik, and the teraflex spare tire mount. I received my order within a few days. It did arrive soon after I ordered. Everything that I ordered came in the same box. No staggered shipments or mixed up deliveries. Everything was in order. All pieces and parts accounted for. Installation was definitely a learning process. The documentation that comes with each part is pretty sad. Now I understand why the guys over at RCR have spent so much time making so much Information available in their website. I have watched the videos and read the FAQs and it was a great help.

Without RghtChannelRadios, I probably would have spent money on things that i didn't need or completely given up trying to set everything up myself. At this point, I have a perfectly working CB radio and an antenna and I am still a little amazed that I did it all myself! (Posted on January 14, 2013)
