CB \ General Wiring Help

[MisterE]

Hey all,

I'm thinking of adding a CB to my H3. It is a lease which I think I will buy at the end but not 100% so I don't want to go crazy. At our last local event I bummed one (thanks ChrisB) that was essentially a hand held with a magnet base antenna and it worked great for talking to folks in our trail group. Was thinking of going the same route, but then I see Circuit City has a small in-car unit on sale for 29.99. Was wondering how hard it would to wire in.

I see a small bundle of wires going into the car near the power break master cylinder. Would that fish out anywhere useful inside?

Also any tips \ tricks for antenna type placement and other general wiring for lights and or gadgets would be great (even if they just link to other threads).

Thanks,

Do a search on here. There are plenty of threads about CB installs. The most common is the Cobra 75.

Where are these threads on CB installs? Most of the search results are for those other Hummers with the 2 on the end! :giggling:

I too enjoy write-ups with pictures! I think this site should have a "How To" section, with various methods on performing the most requested tasks, and if there are photos, to include those as well.

Most of the time I have seen where someone asks a question like this, gets 3 or 4 positive answers, then everyone else pipes in with their opinion on the subject! Just my .02.
