CBs in Jeeps
Okay this should start a flame, but why the hell do people put CBs in
Jeeps?!?! I love them and have one in my truck,..but that's only to spot cops. If you're in a jeep...especially a CJ,...ya can't hear a damn thing anyway and probably aren't going fast enough to get ticketed. Secondly,..if you're on a trail and wheeling, a cell phone would work much better OR,...you shouldn't be by yourself in the first place. Thoughts?!?! Allen 83 CJ7 |

It's a lot easier to tell if the trail in front of you is clear for you to come up/go down/whatever if you have a CB, rather than getting out and hollering. A lot of places that are good for wheeling are bad for cell phone reception, plus if you have a group of more than two, a CB is more efficient in communicating "We're turning left at this fork" or "What trail do y'all want to do now?" or "Bathroom break" than a cell phone. Besides, the chatter on the CB during a wheeling trip is sometimes half the fun. =) Tirya -- TDC Inca Jeeper A dirty Jeep is a happy Jeep. |

Re: CBs in Jeeps
Agree. Many clubs insist on one when trail riding. The Jeep Jamboree
suggests that everyone has a CB.

Re: CBs in Jeeps
No flame here... it's a reasonable question.
A CB is more dependable than a cell phone in the boonies, works better over longer distances than FRS and doesn't require a license like GMRS. CB also has the benefit of being capable of being installed in the Jeep rather than relying on batteries and remembering to bring the durn thing. As for the noise issue, if you buy a decent one with a front-firing speaker or add a remote speaker, you'll be able to hear the thing. A cell phone is good for emergencies on the road, but if you're travelling in a group, you'll want to be able to communicate with everyone at the same time. Of course, if you don't travel or wheel in a group, you probably don't need one. --------------------------------------------- Mike Polo remove noharvest. to reply The word bipartisan usually means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.
