Re: CB Radio or PRS
If I take my top off, the XJ will cave in.

Re: CB Radio or PRS - Update
I went out and bought an AM CB radio (Uniden Pro 510XL). Now the weekend
will be spent installing it.
I was thinking how would it look if I could somehow install the CB antenna
on the exact opposite side of the radio antenna (same height and spot). My
radio antenna is on the right side of the TJ, CB antenna on the left side
would ensure coax is shortest and the antenna would be somewhat in the
middle of the truck (though to one side). Any ideas or photos of such an
install?
Thanks for all the help guys. Its much appreciated.

Having a great time! We moved out to Arkansas from SoCal about 11
years ago, and it the 6 months we've been geocaching, we've found a
bunch of beautiful spots we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Found this
one yesterday:
http://tinyurl.com/23bru
I used another cacher's log page as he had a camera and took a pic.
We got out there and discovered that my camera had dead batteries in
it.
My son has a Garmin GPS, the one with the FRS radio built in. It
works real good, but the radio really eats the batteries in a hurry.
I've got an old Magellan that came off of Ebay, and it works real
good, too, but doesn't have the mapping feature which I think would be
a help sometimes.
A real good map book of the area that you plan on geocaching in is a
good thing to have, also.
