hey all. just curious as to if im the only one with a cb on here or not.
back in 2010 i got a cobra 29 lx, and installed it in my car. i think i did a pretty good job making it to where when i take it out there is no way to tell that there was ever anything there.
i used a piece of window track from a spare window regulator i had, and some sheetmetal screws. where its attached to the dash, its hidden so when i remove the cb, there will only be 2 1/8" holes pointing straight down.
heres some pics:

UGH!, I have to listen to those damn things all day long in my work truck. Sometimes the DX(skip) from a truck stop in North Carolina would bleed over the guy at the bottom of the hill from me. I wish the FCC would just sell the band to some business and make everyone start using FRS. Its quieter!

its the old one that looks like this, was thinking maybe 25 +shipping so maybe 40 and shipping is what it is, if you want it

i might be interested if it comes with the lil will. could probably ship it in a poster tube. not real happy with my 42" radio shack whip anymore.
how about the big one, its a 50 dollar antenna by it-self and has alot better range, its about 5 and a half feet from the bracket to the top, i do all three for 50 bucks because shipping is going to be bad
