that should do just fine. make sure when you are buying one that it comes with the short coax piece required to go between itself and the radio. otherwise you'll have to make one

I installed mine step by step the same as this one.

Try to find someone with a CB and test it out. That will determine if u really need the meter. As for my i bought the cheapest CB and antenna.. and it works great. Even on the highway.

where did you mount your antenna?

olliebamino

id pics of anyone who has mounted on to the tire rack...i want to see exatly where you mount it

well I bought this antenna at a truck stop i think.. its a magnetic base, its mounted on the passenger side cowl.. it looks clean and stock... the wire runs under the windowshield bracket and into the jeep.. I'll see if I can go take a pic of it for you right know. Give me like 5 min.

ahhh i bought a 3 foot antenna and was planning on mounting it to the tire rack...id like to see yours though...ill wait for ya

ok so I hope this worked. Sorry but its snowing here, and its pretty dark.. but I tried my best. The wire doesnt stick out that much i just pulled it a bit to show you.. i usually have it flush with the mount. I'm happy with it. antenna was like $60

PS even after spray painting it black it still works fine.
