i guess it depends on budget and how old/responsible your son is..........teenagers and jeeps can lead to mudholes and other stupidity...........and cb's dont like mud and water so much
big budget.............. cobra 29 , peaked and tuned, noise canceling mic, mounted in a tuffy console with all wilson hardware and antenna.........easily spent 4-500 on this
low budget..............walmart special midland or cobra cb @29.99...mounted whereever it will fit and a cheap antenna and mount from the local truckstop...........maybe 60bux total<-----------thats what i run_________________ ITS HIP TO BE SQUARE  [embed-flash(width,height)] |

i dident think ya would
but we never know.........
ive never seen a cb radio itself that dident work good enough for trail use, every one ive seen that dident work worth a crap was due to installation/tuning issues
i like the walmart cheep'o because i often run with no top and doors...........no biggie if it gets stolen
the cobra 75 is cool for the same reason, everything is in the mic
the cobra 25/29 is king of range(peaked @45watts or so) but spendy and mucho bling......_________________ ITS HIP TO BE SQUARE [embed-flash(width,height)] |

| I ran the Walmart version cb and used some industrial strength velcro and mounted it right behind the center console. This way if i dont need the cb, i can just remove it. The velcro is pretty solid as i have a hell of a time removing it. Went to the truck stop and bought a 4 ft firestick antenna and mounted it on the spare tire rack. |
