2K XJ Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I've been considering putting a CB radio in my Jeep lately, and just wanted to see if any of you guys had any experience with them since you guys are my go-to people on anything electrical. If any of you have any experience with what CB to go with, please post up. I'm going to be going with a Cobra 29LX LE unless anyone has anything else to recommend. So if you have anything to contribute please do so, thanks in advance. This is what I'm thinking of getting http://www.ebay.com/itm/COBRA-29LX-LE-CHR-Chrome-40-Channel-Limited-Edition-CB-Radio-NEW-FREE-SHIPPING-/280819455124?pt=US_CB_Radios&hash=item416224d494 Quote 1999 Jeep Cherokee SportLifted on 31'sPopcorn Sounds AX6000.1 w/ AA 500.1 "THE F1X" board4 Obsidian Audio OA15's C pillar wall @ 29hz ^^^work in progress^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teardrop Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 cobra is good but what is your price range and what do you want it to do short distance or long distance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2K XJ Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) I'd like to keep it under $180 for the whole setup...unit, cable, antenna, and mount. I can get the cable, mount, and antenna for about $60 so I'm basically working with $120 and under. Obviously cheaper is better so hopefully I can find something cheaper than that like the one previously mentioned. I'd like to be able to use it in short to medium range distances. I'll mainly be using this for when I'm offroading with a large group of drivers so I'll be able to communicate with them.
